Greeting card with layered card stock and mesh. Perfect Pearls were used to add glimmer. The bookmark is vellum with a mullberry back, fibers and charms, feather, and sea shells. A gold accent was used.

Sheila's Card

This card is punched with Martha Stewart punches and a pattern paper was added.. Fibers were wound around and a pergamano, mulberry paper and dried flower book mark was inserted in the fibers.

Toilet Paper Casting

This card is made of patterned cardstock and tissue paper, but the center flower is 10 layers of toilet paper. You begin with a rubber stamp and alternate one layer of toilet paper with a watered down all-purpose glue ( about 2-3 parts glue to 1 part water) . Use a stiff bristled brush to tamper each layer into the crevices of the stamp. When all layers are applied, use an absorbant towel and press down on the whole thing to remove excess moisture. Carefully peel the cast off and put in a 200 degree oven on a cookie sheet for a few minutes until it's dry or let it air dry. ( I get too impatient to do this) I colored this one with Perfect Pearls and chalks. Trim the cast to fit your project.

This card is made of wallpaper, dried flowers, flowers made from sea shells, flowers made of parchment, wire, and feathers on a base of cardstock

These cards were made of cardstock and parchment, and sea shell flowers in a pergamano parasol.

This is a card made from a transparency of the "tree" image made from Ted's abdominal aortic anyurism and given to his surgeon. He loved it.
