Third of Diane's work.....

The other pictures I took were too blurred....but love how she used the pearls and the flower in the middle..

Second of Diane's work

Diane did use our bitty punch flowers and love  how she colored them and added the beads..

 the large rose is the spiral cut flower from a punch and highlighted...wonderful!! Pearls are a perfect accent!!

 another close up

this was the inside of the card....her shading with the blender pen is wonderful!!!!!

The first of Diane's work..

Diane used the older  punch for the flowers in the center...and our brocade embossing folder...and our butterflies....and indigo paper...and pearls...

 this is the preview shot.....

 and these were some stamps Diane bought from me quite awhile ago...just love how they fit into her design...

Card in a box swap (Backyard basics and retro DSP) tutorial on Jan 28th post

The tutorial for this is on this post http://franscraftplace.blogspot.com/2014/01/box-card-tutorial.html   I took the directions from Tanya Bell's video (AU) and made them work for our regular card envelopes...there is a step by step picture tutorial at that location....   I did this for a one on one (really six cards) swap..love the colors...

 closeup of butterfly...

 front and inside the box..

 the whole card again....poor picture of the middle..sorry about that..lol

This is a sneak peak of one of my downline's work...some SU things used...some not...she does wonderful work.....will post it on my Create with Fran site and here....

Serene Silhouettes..masculine class

LOVED the hardwood stamp...so many possibilities  to say the least...as soon as this was stamped..the blender pen was used to move the ink around..love the effect....gives it a 3D look...lol...

 I probably will not sell this set either as it one of my favorites and love a little of the asian look and feel this set has that.....was stamped in choc chip, the stamped off ...and then olive was added, gives it a two tone look ....

 again....took several pictures...put this stamp colored directly with makers and put it inside

Life in the Forest class card

Used the dots embossing folder at the bottom...

and love love love the new fringed scissors....the class cards turned out better....the mushroom was either cut and added or placed more in the grass....mine is in the air.....good masculine set

Open Sea

I am sssssooooo sorry....I took over 60 pictures and could not get a good picture of this card and I love how it turned out.....I am using indigo and  pool party....used the coordination pool party with dots embossing folder and really came out nice...brayered the indigo on the naturals composition paper

this is a much much better photo and only good one I took...I really need to take a photography course to say the least......the porthole is popped as it the section with the twine...I didn't like the twine so mentioned to my customers to separate the twine when making their card.....

this is the difference...I loved the separated look much better(before porthole was added in class)...don't you agree?  lol
