More Cards & Request for Assistance

As I mentioned previously we have oodles of September birthdays in our family. Today, I made a couple more and an oriental card as well. ALL of these cards were created from images or projects started long ago and never finished. The oriental card was created by adding sprays to a black matte card, overstamping in black and embossing and then overstamping again and embossing in gold. A rather fun technique which makes a pretty effect.

The pink card was stamped on the dark pink cardstock and rather than bleaching out the flowers I bleached out the background.

The butterfly card was embossed in a silvery embossing powder and then I added some glue and some silver foil. The main butterfly was stamped and embossed in a different color and I added some gold foil. Sorry the foils don't appear because it makes for an unusual card.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH MY BLOG. If you type the URL into your browser everything appears normal. HOWEVER, if you use Google Reader and try to click on the link for PLAYING IN THE SANDBOX, you may not see the posts and have no way to leave comments. IF this happens to you and you can help me resolve which I inadverently changed, I'd be forever indebted.
