My Iceland vacation,

Hi everyone,

I have been on vacation in Iceland the past 2 weeks and thought I would share some of my photos. I was absolutely in awe of its' beauty and ruggedness. An amazing country with beautiful people. The scenery went from flat, to hilly, snow capped mountains, glaciers, fjords, waterfalls, icebergs, geysers, craters, volcanos, hot springs, moss covered fields, black sand beaches, tons of sheep and beautiful Icelandic horses (more like ponies) everywhere. It is paradise for hikers, backpackers, bikers and photographers. Beauty abounds! I just can't say enough about this beautiful scenic country.
I'll be back to posting some cards very soon but for now I hope you enjoy my photos. I actually took close to 500 photos by these are just a few.

Thanks for stopping by,

get well

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all enjoying a beautiful summer so far. I love it!!!
Today's card is for the current SSS Flickr challenge to "Emboss it".

Here's my card:


I started by creating a stencil with some heavy white cardstock using the leaves die. I took a piece of white cardstock and cut that out using a scalloped frame die. I applied the grit paste over the stencil and when dry I added my colours to the leaves. I just love the texture of this paste.
Stamped the sentiment and added some tiny black dots with enamel accents. 

I covered the card base with a piece of patterned paper and then popped up the entire panel with some foam tape. And that's my card for today.

Thanks for stopping by,
