Elementary Elegance Birthday Card

My baby brother Michael turns 22 on January 19th & this is the card I made for him. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out and I am very excited to find a use for Island Indigo which is not a color I'm very fond of. Lauren thinks it looks just like Taken With Teal, I have always disagreed with that but I will admit, it definitely looks good WITH Taken With Teal, lol.

This super simple card is made with Taken With Teal and Island Indigo Cardstock, Island Indigo Ink, the Elementary Elegance SAB Stamp Set and Pewter Brads.
I cased this card from one I saw at http://artfeltexpressions.blogspot.com/. Thanks to Debra Currier for the awesome idea!! I see alot of these cards in different colors in my future, lol. Good male cards are hard to find!

Michelle's Card Club

Here are 2 of the 3 cards we did for Michelle's club earlier this month. The 3rd card was a spinner birthday card but I forgot to take a pic :(

 Michelle said she wanted something with leaves that could be used for either a wedding invite or anniversary card, she also wanted the Baroque stamp in there somewhere. This is what I came up with. The girl loves glitter so I knew I couldn't go wrong with the glitter paper.
And she also wanted some kind of Christmas card with either Dasher or this tree from Snow Swirled. My idea was originally planned with Dasher in mind but somehow morphed into a very different card with the tree instead. VERY easy card to make and that white glitter paper is really really pretty in person. The 'dots' on the tree are actually clear Stickles, I guess they just caught the light in just the right way to make them look Pool Party.
