May Greenhouse Society

Hi!  I have another card to share that I made using the May Greenhouse Society set from Technique Tuesday.  It features a pretty image, with very useful sentiments.  I love it!

Here is my card:

I heat embossed the image on white cardstock, using clear embossing powder.  Then I sponged Distress Inks (the new spring colors) on the entire piece of cardstock.   Sparkly dimensional stickers were added to the centers.

Be sure to check out the rest of the DT's projects on the Technique Tuesday Blog!

CDS May Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Clear Dollar Stamps May Blog Hop!  Our theme this month is "SOMETHING WITH WINGS"

Here is my card:

The bee image is from the Clear Dollar Stamps Digi "BUMBLES" and the sentiment is from the digi "TURTLE GREETINGS".  I used vellum with pearly colored shimmer paint to really make the wings the stand out.  It made it really hard to photograph though!  :)

You will want to start the Hop from the Clear Dollar Stamps Blog.  After my blog, hop on over to VICKIE'S BLOG!!

One random winner will be chosen from comments received on all the DT member's blog's.  The winner will receive a $25 Clear Dollar Stamps gift certificate for digital images.  The winner will be posted on the CDS Blog on Thursday, May 24.
