Sailing Into the Sunset With Swirly Bird

“To reach a port we must set sail –
Sail, not tie at anchor
Sail, not drift.” 
― Franklin D. Roosevelt




























Sailboats and sunsets really do go together. There is something really picturesque and peaceful about the combination. My original idea with this design was a retirement card. However, not everyone has need of retirement cards, so for my classes I went with a generic, "It's your big day!" I also did not have enough of the enamel dots for class, so I punched out Cherry Cobbler stars with the Confetti Stars Punch as a substitute for my classes.

I stamped this card and put it together on FB Live if you would like to see how it all came together:

Swirly Scribble Turned Hoot Owl





















Isn't this card a hoot? (Was that a bad pun?) I wish I could say that the owl idea is original to me - but it is not. The owl idea is a CASE (copy and share everything). However, the card itself is an original. Owls are nocturnal so I was going for a nighttime look. I love how the branch that my owl is sitting on turned out! I like the card better when one of the three stars is black because it pulls it all together a little better. However, there were just not enough black stars in my metallic sequins! Since this was one of the card in my Swirly Bird/Scribbles Classes; I tried to make sure that all of my card makers would each have a black star.

Background Watercolor Video Tutorial With Floral Phrases






















This card was my absolute favorite of the three cards we did in my Floral Boutique Suite classes. The soft water-colored background is stunning and very easy to do! I demonstrated this technique on FB Live and if you watch it all the way to the end there is also a little tip for getting more shimmer with the clear Wink of Stella. You watch the video here:
