Card for baby!

I made this quick baby card tonight to give to a friend tomorrow.  I love this coverplate from PTI.  It was used this week in the MIM and I wanted to make a card for the challenge, coloring embossing paste, but I didn't really have time to get that messy.

I used some Crate Paper patterned paper for the petals and set them in aqua mist. I had a little dark greenish - brown nubby gem (I don't know what these are called!) that I used as a center. The sentiment is from Boutique Borders Baby. Very simple card,  although it would have been so much faster and easier if I would have used my ATG gun. For some reason I started with liquid glue when I put down the Aqua Mist piece, so then I had to glue in each petal! I should have covered the card base with adhesive and then just popped them in.  Oh well, next time!

Halloween Card

I love the technique shown on this week's Make it Monday over at PTI. And, after this week's sneak peeks of the August release, I'm getting excited about Halloween.  So even though it is barely past July I created a fun Halloween card. This was a super quick attempt but I really like the card so I might make another one to see if I can do it a little better.
