This is a kind of 3-dimensional card that I colored using colored pencils and blended with Mineral Spirits.
Brandee actually made this one. She used Dazzling Diamonds for the bling.
I love this flower stamp set. It's my sister Geri's. I borrowed it. I used a Stampin' Up lacy background stamp for the grayish background.
Here's a different version with another Stampin' Up background stamp.
The next three I created at a rubber stamping class that Leslie held.
This one I left unfinished so that I can stamp whatever sentiment I need on the bottom later. Either that or I just ran out of time 'cause I'm so slow.
A bigger vesion of this card was gonna be the wedding invitation for my son's wedding, but he and his fiancee broke up about 6 months before the wedding. I was really sad 'cause I really liked her. I still do. That's her pictures on the right - the second one where she's looking at the stingray and the eighth one where she's with her girlfriend's daughter. Pretty, yeah. I miss her, but it's for the best.

Oh, my goodness!!! Jalna, these are beautiful!!! I may have to CASE some of your layouts. LOL! I've used some of the same stamps. The birthday/candle one I made a card for one of the granddaughters. And the envelope w/flowers I used for a card that I made for a girl I use to work with. That card may be on my blog, in an early post, I'm not sure. Do you have a Facebook account? I created 3 albums on there of my cards. Well, you did to do this more often. They are awesome!! And thank you for posting them.
Oh, I meant to say too, its amazing how real to life your pictures are. With the right equipment and the know-how, you can tell what these really look like. I have a Canon Power Shot A510 camera and a Casio Exlim and I don't really know how to use them so my pictures don't come out like I want them too. My husband says I should take some classes to know how to use my cameras. :)
Cool cards, good color saturation. Great shooting?
I do have a Facebook account, but I don't go to it often enough, so I'm not sure how to maneuver about it. I have to rush off right now, but when I get back I'll work on getting to view your albums. If either of your cameras has a macro setting, you might want to try using that. Also flash photography is not usually too flattering on any subject. That's why sometimes I take stuff out to the hood of my car to photograph. Okay, bye, I'll be back soon.
OOOH! Jalna, what can I say?!!! You are THE artiste!!!! Not only is it evident in your images, it's also VERY obvious in your card creations! I have been a stamping demo'r for Stampin' Up for over 8 years and it took me a LONG time to develop my eye...I'm STILL working at it! Your cards are very beautiful and striking...you gotta keep it up, girl! What a gift! THANKS for sharing them with us on your blog!
