Today's Theme is All things Crafty
Must Haves for Your CreativitySo as not to bore you with the necessities I thought I would pick three Favourite "Must Haves"
1. Vellum; I Love Vellum so I was pretty happy when the annual catalogue came out with the Floral Essence Vellum in Saffron, Petal Pink and Old Olive and then when they had coloured vellum as an SAB Freebie. Well I had to have it!! And of course Stampin' Up!® has white vellum.
2. Rhinestones; every card needs a little sparkle and Stampin' Up!® has a variety of colours
3. Stitched so Sweetly Dies; that scalloped rectangle is a staple in my cardmaking right now and I am hoping they make it to the new Annual catalogue!!
These are by no means all my 'Must Haves' but you are here to see some cards so I kept it to just 3.
Instructions:
I used a Whisper White card base.
The coloured vellum is 4" x 51/4"
The Whisper White piece is die cut from the largest Scalloped Rectangle. I used the Thoughtful Blooms SAB freebie and Granny apple green ink and stamped the large vines at the top and the bottom turning the stamp around. I then used a sponge dauber and added some green for dimension.
I used the small flower in Petal Pink, Highland Heather and Mango Melody wherever I thought a flower should be. I also stamped and punched out the large flower and punched the flowers out of vellum as well. Layering the flowers I arranged them around the rectangle attaching them with Multi purpose adhesive. The Thank you was inked with basic gray and punched it out with a 3/4" circle punch. I also stamped a few flowers on the Thank you stamping off first so they were transparent. Adding Rhinestones to the center of each flower

As I was taking the pictures I noticed that the yellow card is made for left handed people, so I took the top picture thinking I would not include it in the post. But hey I am human and we all make mistakes. And I Love my Mango card. Here are a few up close pictures.
I hope you enjoyed my cards as much as I enjoyed making them!! Everything used is available at my online store if you live in Canada, just click on the Canada Flag on your right.
Please keep hopping to see every one else's beautiful creations!!

ReplyDeleteMost people oppose this type of drug test, mainly because it doesn’t detect actual drug use. One of the lesser invasive and sensitive drug tests, the saliva test, can detect the presence of drugs for up to a week. This test can detect recent cocaine, opiates, methamphetamines, and weed usage within the last few hours. During this test, your mouth swab is collected, or you will be asked to spit into a tube sent for saliva analysis. Although these tests have slight possibilities of false positives or negatives, most of the time, they are highly reliable. You may often find a drug test slapped on you very unexpectedly, leaving you with no time to detoxify your system before the test. In that scenario, the only way to pass a drug test for weed is by cheating the drug test with synthetic urine. Synthetic urine kits are your best chance to successfully and surely clear these unbeatable drug tests. Synthetic urine exactly replicates the real urine in all aspects, including the color, smell, and foam. The kits contain a powder that is supposed to be combined with water before use. In all this time, companies have managed to perfect their formulas, so choosing the very best can be hard. Thankfully, we've managed to put together a list of the very best synthetic urine products and from that we have chosen both Test Clear and Quick Luck as the best ones so far. But, if you are smart, you can enjoy your cannabis and pass a drug test too. Most drug tests are urine-based, and you can easily pass one using a synthetic urine kit, which will make you look squeaky clean. Once you start using the shampoo, you must stop consuming drugs or any other restricted materials. Using the shampoo multiple times before your test will help you pass the test easily.
