Hugs botanical card

For my card today, I've combined the Bordered in Beauty bundle with Fern & Flora.  I am a sucker for foliage and for fancy borders so these bundles caught my eye right away.  When I was looking for a sentiment for this card, I immediately thought it would make a perfect sympathy card.  Of course, it will work for many occasions, but especially for someone going through a rough patch and who wouldn't love to receive a card like this in the mail?  To watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel, click this link.

Black Magic Technique with Easter Lilies & Botanicals

Today I have a card which features the Black Magic Technique.  It uses black cardstock and white ink.  I've combined this technique with the Easter Lilies bundle by Stampin' Up!  I had a lot of fun combining the watercolor pencils and the black magic technique to make this Thinking of You card.  Of course, if you change the sentiment, you can use it for just about any occasion.  To see how to do the black magic technique and how I put the card together, be sure to watch the video replay on YouTube.
