Uptown Girl Birthday Card

Here is a birthday card I recently made. This is Uptown Girl AVA loves to celebrate from Stamping Bella.

I used copics, distress markers, and Momento dual tip markers. I also used the small bow die from
Lil' Inker Designs

Paper Roses

I was watching a few videos on you tube about making paper roses and I found this one: paper roses. It is in spanish-- I don't speak spanish, but it was so well done that I was able to follow along easily.  I love the results!!  So this is the first one I tried

 Then I tried a senond the gold one in the same size. The paper was really thick to beging with so it made it difficult to cut when all folded up so that's why you can see some white jagged edges on the petals. I notice it more on the gold than the red patterned paper, so I'm trying to think of ways to distess the gold rose.

 Next I tried a smaller size.

And I think it's gorgeous!

 I made a medium size rose out of silver as well.

Glitter Ritz Card

Here is a Birthday Card I made up tonight for a friend at work.

I used Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter colors: Black, Java Bean, Copper, Dark Gold, and Peridot.
The paper is from the DCWV Lemon Flower matstack.
