You have been busy! Great cards, the dragonfly really catches your eye.

I'm thinking the ink pad is a Kaliedecolor pad? I love those things.

Retiform, gosh I did this ages ago but it makes for a neat card. Thanks for reminding me about that technique.

Nancy.... YES!! a Kaleidecolor inkpad!! Whoohooooo.....

I've got another new one in shades of blues... going to try it with some sea creature stamps, maybe.... they make cool cards with the glossy paper and the perfect match on the matting.... so we'll see what happens. :-)

Some wonderful techniques there, Debi. Use those Kaliedacolor pads while they are new. Eventually all the colors flow together. Not sure how they do that when they are stored pulled apart and flat. That is a gorgeous technique with them. I want to try that.
The stamped sentiments on the background is a brilliant idea!

Your cards just blow me away Debi! I love all the techniques you've been trying. I also liked Jennifer McGuire's stamped sentiment background ideas. I couldn't believe how many stamps she used for her background...and then had to put all of them back into the right stamp sets again! :-o

You know I bought a bunch of those kaleidocolor pads so many years ago and like someone mentioned, they eventually got weird on me and I either sold or tossed them. Now I want some again. Maybe the Hero Arts Ombre pads should be given a try. Love that look.

And her very own Birthday card... LOL ... almost forgot this one :-)

It has Wink of Stella on the icing.... and enamel dots (more like beads) on the top cupcake.... and stickles on those swirls on the icing... and diamond glaze on those pink hearts and the cherry... and on the red hearts. It's just all glitzed up. LOL

She must be a terrific boss to receive such a thoughtful gift from you. That was a lot of work and I'm sure she'll be overwhelmed by your fabulous cards.
