As long as I was making cute cards I thought I would go for broke. This card is made of felt buttons and adhesive crystals. Every girl needs a little sparkle time.

I had spent a few days aspiring to make serious, artful, and experimental technique cards when this one just kind of happened. Some times you just have to give in to your inner cute :-). The little squares are made from shrinky dinks. Its days like this that I want to scrapbook and make people cute nonsensical cards.

Much like a card I published a couple days ago this one is also made from bonding newspaper bags together. I had so many fun colors to choose from I wanted to make a cooler version in contrast to the orange, pink and black one from earlier. This process is so fun and easy to do. There are endless ideas on what you can make below are a few fun links to diy pages with projects.

This card is a combination of two pieces of watercolor and saran wrap treated watercolor paper. One side is predominately black and the other has browns. I had done a large series of pictures in  watercolor with pencil. Feel free to view other painting at www.Excessorieskc.com under the art category.

I love this card. I was a simple drawing card done on heavier watercolor like paper with a black felt tip pen. I just like the scale and simple look to the graphic. I could see doing more pieces like this one in the future.

I decided on this day (which also happened to be my birthday) to reuse some of my scrap pieces to construct an abstract card. Not my favorite but I can still appreciate it for what it is.

On this date I had taken a photo of a tv show where a wall in the background was painted with these modular like shapes. I used some colored not pad papers and layered these shapes to create this interesting look.
