End o' the Month Craftin'

This castle stamp was from one of the first SU sets that I purchased a few decades ago. I love pairing it with a funny sentiment. Plus vellum always adds elegance to a card.

Made an Asian inspired card for the Snippets challenge. I always hate tossing all the little bits and pieces of beautiful patterned paper, especially when it is expensive Chinese paper gifted to me by a friend. The Pinwheel card is actually very easy to make. Finished it up with a Chinese coin from my stash and a bit of red cording. (Here are instructions for the pinwheel- www.owhstarsandstamps.org/2011/04/tutorial-pinwheel-ii.html  )

I don't usually use buttons on my cards because the thickness makes them harder to mail. But I made an exception with this card. I have a ton of scrapbooking paper and was fun to put some of it to good use. The flower is also cut from scrapbooking paper. A fast and easy to make card!

  3. These cards are all wonderful. Great job. We're so blessed that you joined us with your wonderful art last Challenge. We would like to invite you to link with us again in our current Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving some inspiration from the Word of God in John 6:35, "Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."...Have a wonderful and blessed week.
