Card fronts are so easy.....

Whew! I have a couple of minutes to spare - a rarity for me these days - and so I'm posting the next couple of card fronts I made for Diana.

I absolutely didn't keep track of my card recipe, so sorry, so I can't let you know the Copics I used. I'm using left over scraps of DP, OMG, am I the only crafter with a box stuffed with beautiful paper that has been used on another project? I'm so glad that I've been making just card fronts because it's a great way to put that paper to good use.

So here is one card front that I made that actually is a little card of it's own. I made the scalloped circled card using my nesties and added another Tilda to the inside. On the front is #218 Sweet Tilda and I have her standing in front the the Alota Flower Shop background. Inside I used #367 Circus Tilda and she is sitting on a bow I made with some baker's twine...



Here it is opened...



I have always loved this image called Striped Tights Tilda #280. I have both sizes of the image. I used the Alota background called Front Door Steps. I kept this one very simple as you can see...



So now the children need bathing and my beloved Texas Rangers are playing a game tonight which I so enjoy watching. I hope you have a very Blessed Easter.

Hugs,
Barb

    Gorgeous cards, Barb!! I love the images you combined and your coloring is always beautiful!! The first card is so clever with the card in a card! Isn't it wonderful to use up scraps for the card fronts? :) I love them both!

    Hi Barb!
    Your card fronts are just beautiful. I love the design of your first one. Very clever. The card with Tilda in striped tights is another gorgeous design. Your coloring is great on these mini stamps.
    You and hubby are in my prayers. I pray things get a lot better for you very soon.

    I love that first card dear heart and the way it opens - I love all your cards but that first one is sooo neat. You mean you take care of Bill, the kids, make cards and get to watch TV?
    Lord have mercy child - you have more energy than I!
