A few cards

I'm back this time I made a few cards for a couple of challenges, but as we all know sometimes life gets in the way of posting on time...there are times when Murphy's Law takes over your life...
This first card I made for the challenge at Cardabilities if you have not heard of their site go check it out; their sketches are amazing!  This card was made with Fancy Pants papers, Martha Stewart Punch, Maya Road chipboards, Acrylic Paint, American Crafts Rub ons and little beads.

The second and third cards were made for The Shabby Tea Room an inspiring place for all your paper crafting projects.  This week's challenge was to use the colors limegreen, cool blue and pink.  I made the first card then I realized that I had left out the blue.  I made this card using scraps of EK Success paper, Tattered Angels Cosmo Glimmer mist for the cardstock (yes I ran out of pink cardstock so I had to make my own), beautiful bias tape and a to dye for button I bought las week while I was at the Fashion District in Los Angeles...

The second card was made by creating my own background, simply spray and blot the glimmer mist with a dry paper towel, then for the sand use Snow Tex, simply add a few drops of Tim Holtz tea stain to the mix and spread it on the bottom portion of your cardstock.  Paint the Tattered Angels Chipboard using a brush then apply Lemongrass Glimmer Mist all over the chipboard just to have the other glimmer mist kind of spread...Also, I went on line and printed a cute vintage couple sitting on the beach, which added some more romance to the card...
