Birthday Card Using Art by Miran Whimsy Stamp Rosella

Hello friends. I hope everyone is doing well.  I know the weather is all over the place right now.  Sunny and hot in Southern CA and cold with ice and snow on the East coast.  It is crazy, isn't it?   We had some wonderful rain on Wednesday; but dry today.  

It is time once again for a new Art by Miran Anything Goes Facebook Challenge; with an option for monochromatic.  I haven't made a monochromatic card on purpose for quite a while. LOL!  My hardest part was trying to find more than one paper to match.  I didn't find any that would work; so I just picked one pretty paper with cardstock and decided to go with it.  These are not my normal colors; but it was a lot of fun working outside my comfort zone for this card.  The card is much prettier in person; but pictures are all we have.  LOL!

Love Card Using CTMH La Vie En Rose Paper with Cricut Art Philosophy & Cricut Artiste cartridges

Hello friends. How is everyone doing?  I hope you are enjoying the rest of the winter; before the hot summer kicks in.  We have been having hot weather already in Southern CA and I was not ready for that so soon.  I prefer 50's and 60's weather.  What is your weather like right now?  I would love to hear from all of you. 


As most of you know; I love using bright bold colors; but I also love black and white cards.  I have created a sweet black and white card using CTMH La Vie En Rose Paper pack.  It is mostly black and white with one page of gorgeous multi-colored roses; and it is fabulous.

Birthday Card Using Art by Miran Salvia

Hello friends. I hope everyone is doing well.  I know the weather is all over the place right now.  Sunny and hot in Southern CA and cold with ice and snow on the East coast.  It is crazy, isn't it? 

I am hosting the Art By Miran Blog today with this gorgeous Art by Miran Salvia.  I loved this image the minute I saw her.  I had some trouble finding the right paper for her; and then there it was.  I was visiting Joann's Fabrics; which I rarely buy paper (I have tons of it hoarded already. Shhh!); and it just jumped off the shelf. I am sure all of you have experienced the same thing, right?  LOL! 

Be sure to visit Art By Miran Blog and comment on all of the fabulous creations. The DT are wonderful about creating cards; so you can view more ideas on how to use these gorgeous images.  

As most of you know; my favorite color is purple.  My next favorite is a draw between pink and yellow.  I really love purple and yellow together.  I had to color her hair purple for this card.  Some days are good hair days for my coloring and some aren't.  I think this one was a good hair day.  LOL!  I hope you enjoy this card; as much as I enjoyed creating it.  

Don't forget to stop over at the Art By Miran Facebook Fan Page; and check out the new Progressive Challenge for February.  You are going to love the image this month! Remember, you purchase the first image at a very low price; create something, add it to the Facebook challenge page and you will receive the next Progressive Challenge image free.  Follow the directions on the Facebook Fan Page.
