Wildflowers and Mixed Media Thinlits

I thought I'd share some cards I made in the past month or so

using my new Sizzix dies:

Mixed Media (background)

and Wildflowers #2.

I had fun using old book pages for these two cards.

As I sponged this background I tried to create a peaceful scene.  I don't like to make gloomy sympathy cards. The cut openings reminded me of an opening into a beautiful world.  The tree reminded me of the everlasting tree of life. 

Used an alcohol ink background on glossy paper from my stash for this one.

Thanks for visiting!
