Well it’s back to school time and soon it will be Halloween then all the other holidays.  I have two Halloween cards for you today. The first one I was doing some experimenting with glue and glitter for the background.

I added color strips of paper that I put glue on,  then added the glitter to the paper.  It gives it just a little bit of sparkle.

For my second card I used glitter paper for the web and created the spider using a punch. You can’t tell from the photo but the spider is dimensional.  The inside of the card has a spider hanging from it’s web.

I just love peacocks, they are one of the most beautiful creatures when their colorful tail feathers are extended.  This card is pretty simple to make but does give the wow factor to the recipient.  Each of the feathers are lifted to give dimension and I added some silver metallic paper behind the feathers to give it shine.  I’ve added a Happy Birthday sentiment at the bottom so it would not distract from the bird.

Summertime the best time of year for relaxing in the sun.  Here is a birthday card I made using a crocodile and palm trees.  Doesn’t he just look so comfy.

I then made this bird birthday card for my sister to give to someone.  I used watercolors to paint the trees.
