By the way Jo Anne, don't worry about your pictures of the cards you made, when we don't see the real card in front of us we can't see anything wrong from here. A camera is never all that precise whrn it comes to cards. I don't know why but unless I usually use a neon light at a certain angle I can't get the real color to show. There are colors that are that way you cannot get them perfectly no matter what. So let's just say it wasn't your fault AT ALL hee hee hee. In my humble opinion your pictures were fabulous as always.
I have more cards that I made during the past week so here is the rest of them for your viewing pleasure. I also received more pictures of cards from Jo Anne so immediately after my cards you will see the two she made a few days ago. It is a must see.
The gowns you see I had made 6 of them with the floor wax and pearl-ex technique and added some glitter to the dress when it was dry by adding some glue from a pen, when all dry I added a stone in the cleavage of the dress for more interest.
Thank you for all the compliments on my cards.
As for yesterday's little feet cards it was made out of a paper mold I purchased from Arnold Grummer the handmade paper guy. It is now selling at Michael's if you are in the US or search under his name to find his store on the internet.
All I do with the mold is I take toilet paper wet it all about 2 feet long and when wet I shred it all in small chunks and add to the mold adding pressure to drain excess water. Once it is filled completely with toilet paper I again drain any remaining water with a towel. I then put it in the microwave oven (feet mold) for 30 seconds at a time. Since I am in a high altitude it takes 1 1/2 min to get it dry enough to take it out of the mold gently and let the rest dry.
Once dry you can add to your card, add chalk to the feet or use your own idea for embellishment or leave simply as is which is also very pretty.

I have cards here from Jo Anne
I thought she had a fantastic idea. As usual. She had received a gift from a friend, a floral arrangement so to thank the person who gave it to her, she decided to use the picture she took of the arrangement, printed it out and added it to the card, I think it looks gorgeous (the card and also the arrangement) Thanks for sharing Jo Anne
About the card to the right I thought it is very nice. It was made with the Cuttlebug machine (embossing) for the background (bubbles) this sheet comes from Hildegard's collection of 3D sheets that she sells. Jo Anne added the hat last in 5 layers as well as the chair closer to us is another extra layer. I think it looks adorable and makes me want to take off for a nice vacation.
She also stamped the envelope with a plalm tree. Staying in the theme of her card. Well done Jo Anne and thanks!
So remember to be creative it is always pleasant to see what others may come up with for ideas or inspiration.
