Happy Friday afternoon, my friends. I was ready to go with this card, early this morning, but it seems the Linky over at Unity had expired. Check out all of the work that is being loaded for
Friends with Flair, this week!
This card uses the May Kit of the Month called "Hey Girl". If you have not seen the gorgeous stamps in this kit, you must do so!
My card is done on white with white embossing. I sponged on all of the assorted colors. I also used a stencil to fill in some background, and that is from the Crafters Workshop chicken wire reversed . There are a few Dewdrops added as accents. My inks are from SU!
This second card also uses the KOM of May 2014, and a sentiment from one of the grab bags from Unity. I just love this big birthday cake stamp! The card uses an embossed background, paper doily, and assorted punches that help use up scraps from my bin. There are touches of Stardust pen for some sparkle, but it is not showing well.
I would like to enter this card over at
Pixie's Snippets Playground. This week is #124
I hope you have a fabulous weekend, and I appreciate you stopping by.

Mary Anne,
Your first card is so pretty and you used one of my favorite stencils. That eb folder you used one the second card is beautiful and every time you use those banners I kick myself for not getting some. I love both of them.
Both cards are great, but I think the first one is pretty spectacular! SO pretty!
