"Thinking of You" - Card & Envelope

 Once again, I've fallen in love creating with 3D layering die cuts!

These are the neatest, coolest, prettiest things!

I LOVE them.

They really make very unique one-of-a-kind beautiful cards.

A very special person in my life deserved a pretty card

in her favorite colors of purple & green,

which is always an outstanding choice.

The die cuts have several colors in them, 

which I was able to closely match with my solid cardstock! 

Check out these beautiful, luscious layers!

In person, the flowers look like they're 'growing' towards you.

SO unique!

I made a box envelope to hold the one inch thick card.

I followed my own tutorial found here:

https://iluvcatsandscraps.blogspot.com/2026/07/tutorial-boxed-envelope-with-magnetic.html

I really love how everything turned out.

I used a die cut from the same collection as decoration.

The magnetic flap is decorated with flowers & bling along the edge.

A corner rounder punch was used.

Even the backside of the flap is decorated.

Thanks for coming by!

Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Zentangle Ocean Reef Catfish

 To me, zentangle looks best when it's colorful!

And this is one colorful page!

Another one that required using my magnifying glass in some areas.

Gosh this coloring book has such teeny tiny areas.

So I think I've got every color I used below.

There were soooo many of them! 

Check out the various colorful reef plants & coral.

I used a wood grain stencil turned horizontally to look like flowing water;

colored with Distress Oxide ink in none other than "Salty Ocean".

I really love the look!

Now for the catfish! 

Thanks again for coming by.

I appreciate your visit.

Have a blessed day,
