She Sells Sea Shells By The Sea Shore

I made this card for the Michael Strong's Yahoo group September challenge - Traditional Cloisonné Card.
I used gold canvas textured CS for the background, distressed all around its edges.
On top of it there's a cream CS, embossed with tiny bubbles through the Cuttlebug and colored with Ranger's distress ink (Broken China).
The turquoise CS was punched with Martha Stewart's border punch.
The main motif is Michael Strong's Cloisonné Shell, stamped and heat embossed with gold EP.
I colored the shell with Ranger's distress inks (Broken China, Vintage Photo and Scattered Straw), using ear cleaning sticks for coloring.
The shell was glued 3D for extra dimension.
I added a few turquoise blings in varios sizes, all reminding me of the sea.

Happy New Year Card - Take Five

I made this card for my hubbie, with a special motif - the vine leaves and the grapes.

I wish him a year of Geffen (Geffen = vine, in Hebrew) which is an acronym of Gezunt, Parnusse and Naches, meaning Health, Prosperity and Pleasure from his family (in Yiddish).
The vine leaves were distressed with Stazon ink (Forest Green) and covered with a thick layer of papier glass finish for a 3D glazing. They were also glued 3D for extra dimension. The grapes are purple Dew Drops.
The purple background Canson paper has a pattern similar to a honeycomb. It is a Jewish tradition to eat honey on New Year's eve, hoping the new year will be as sweet as honey.
The edger punches are Martha Stewart's. The white CS was distressed with Ranger's ink (Dusty Concord). The green CS is canvas textured and the background paper with the pop-up butterflies is from a commercial booklet.
The sentiments say Shana Tova, meaning a happy new year in Hebrew.
I left enough space inside the card to write personal blessings for the new year.
I wish you all a happy new year, filled with joy, health and love!

The pigeon has a black bling for an eye, and the brown circles are Dew Drops.
The ocher background Canson paper has a pattern similar to a honeycomb. It is a Jewish tradition to eat honey on New Year's eve, hoping the new year will be as sweet as honey.
The edger punches are Martha Stewart's.

The bright ocher paper is from a commercial envelope I re-used.

He likes going on an ambulance, especially when the siren is on. He insisted on an ambulance themed card rather than anything else.

The edger punch is Martha Stewart's.

The sentiments say Shana Tova, meaning a happy new year in Hebrew.

The ambulance and the sentiments were glued 3D for extra dimension.

?מה נרצה לשנה החדשה

?מה נרצה לשנה החדשה

אנחנו רוצות בעל שיעבוד בהיי-טק ויביא את המכה
אנחנו רוצות בעל שיוציא אותנו לסקי בחופשת החנוכה
אנחנו רוצות בעל נאה שיודע להתלבש נכון
ולבשל לינגוויני ברוטב חמציץ וארומת סוביניון

אנחנו רוצות צמוד-קרקע ברמת השרון הירוקה
וקבריולט חדשה, אדומה ומבריקה
אנחנו רוצות דוקטורט פוסט מודרני בנושא חדשני ועולה
ויקטוריה סיקרט, חולצות של גוצ'י ומיני מבד מעולה

אנחנו רוצות להתחיל את הבוקר באילן'ס שליד המזרקה
ובעזרת המאמן האישי לשמור על גזרה דקה
אנחנו רוצות לשלוח את הבייביסיטר לקנות בלחם ארז משהו לאורחים
ולדבר עם המדריך לטאקוונדו על אמונה וערכים

אנחנו רוצות חברות שיבואו איתנו לספא, רולים, פדיקור, מניקור
ולרהט את הסלון מחדש שלא תהיה אווירת ניכור
ואת ההלוגן שיצא בהביטאט במבצע ליום האהבה
ווילונות מבד ידידותי לסביבה

אנחנו רוצות להגיד שלקרם ברולה בחתונה של צליל היה טעם זיפת
ושלא יכול להיות שאמא שלה נראית ככה וזה בטוח פייס-ליפט
ושחבר שלנו, דין, פתח מקום חדש בסיטי
ושנקפוץ לשם בקיץ בין הטיול האתגרי באלסקה לחופשה בהאיטי

אנחנו רוצות לשעוט אל אתרי הקניונים בשבת בבוקר
עם הבעל החתיך והתינוק הנקי ולהגיד שהמאגריט הזה לא כ"כ ביוקר
ולצאת באמצע העבודה ללאנץ' עם חברה
ולספר לה שבהודו חווינו הארה

אנחנו רוצות שעון עם קו נקי אבל קוקט
וספר שכתוב כתיבה נשית פוליטקלי קורקט
אבל אם צריך לבחור אחת מכל המשאלות שיש
אנחנו רק רוצות להיות מידה 36

,אני מאחלת לכולנו שנת בריאות והצלחה
,שנה של בשורות טובות, שפע ושמחה
שנה של יצירה, הנאה ואהבה
!שנה מאושרת - שנה טובה
דורלי וייצן

I wish you all health, happiness and prosperity in the New Year.
May you have reasons to smile every single day.
Shana Tova!
