Card ministry and a couple new cards from class

Sorry I haven't posted...I post all the time in Create with Fran on FB and forget to post here....this is a little catch up....this first card is from a class....it is lovely in person...just love the new copper embossing powder..it is sssssoooo elegant.....used the sets.....Butterfly Basics, Happy Happenings and Timeless textures.....
 with copper, white and clear embossing powder.....do them separately or two at a time...so as not to melt the previous colors......try not to overlap....



 One of my customers, Diane....liked the halo look on this copper timeless stamp so she left it...
 This is a simple card from my card ministry....this first one is using the large flower stamp....stamped a section of that first , then did the bird....they did pretty well with the four step bird.......I used soft sky stamped off, then soft sky and then island indigo
 these three banners are all different lengths and then used the triple banner punch
 This last card was using the new square collection....some are straight and some are scalloped...just absolutely so many variations ...
