Vintage Vogue Birthday Card and Matching Easel Gift

Don't you just love the Vintage look? This is a birthday card and matching easel gift I recently made for a friend. I love the colors of Certainly Celery and Rich Razzleberry. For a completely different look you can try a different color combination. If you would like to see a video on the Easel Card let me know by leaving a comment.

Peace Is Coming!

Today is Good Friday. This may not be what you think of when you think of Easter. This short video is about an awesome painter that told a story with his painting. With our Country the way it is and where we are heading, "One Nation Under God" by Jon McNaughton reminds us of where we have come from and what Jesus did for us and is still doing! I hope you will take two minutes of your time to look at this short video and reflect on what this day means and the true meaning of Easter. Please take a close up look at this painting, you won't be sorry. www.mcnaughtonart.com

Faux Tearing Happy Birthday Card

This card using the faux tearing/masking technique that is so fast and easy! I love this look and if you don't know how to do this, let me know and I would be glad to do a training video on this technique. You will love the look and simplicity. I used Melon Mambo CS and ink on Whisper White CS. This cute card is being sent to my future Daughter-in-Law for her birthday! She is such a sweetie and she loves pink! Happy Birthday Janelle! We love you!
