Welcome!
So glad you've stopped by to visit my corner studio. Normally I share some of my paintings with you, and since I posted a couple just a few days ago, today it's dedicated to the Operation Write Home Memorial Day Bloghop. If you've arrived here from Lisa's blog, Stamping with a Mission, then you're in the right place, but if you need to start at the beginning, just click the bloghop badge shown on the right -------------
This is an example of the "Dimensional Ruffle card Tutorial" posted by Sandy on April 29, 2011 on the OWH Stars and Stamps blog, and can be found under the Tutorials section, along with a great U-Stream video. I used scrap pieces of blue and white design paper for each of the ruffles trimmed with a scallop punch, then glued onto a blue base front and attached to white cardstock. I felt it only needed a small flower and a little butterfly punch to finish it off with blue ribbon. Amazingly enough, it really levels out with each row and isn't too bulky.

Gorgeous card, I like the different shades of blue.
Your wonderful sense of color comes out in this card. The butterfly and flower are great embellishments. Beautiful card. Blessings.
Hello Dolores! I'm so glad I get to be your neighbor!! I hope that you have a wonderful weekend and a very fun hop!!!
What an ADORABLE ruffle card Mom!! Beautiful!
Your card is really nice! I may have to try this technique! So glad you are having a happy retirement that is filled with time to do all the things you love. Giving back by making cards for OWH gives our lives purpose. I know I am grateful to have the opportunity to make cards for our Heroes.
Great card - love the many shades of blue. I will have to use this technique soon.

Delores, this is a gorgeous interpretation on the 'ruffles' technique! The monochromatic color scheme is lovely. So glad to have you hopping this weekend!
Terrific example of a monochromatic card. Love the flower and butterfly with the ruffles. I got a punch today so I could finally try this tutorial.
First, terrific job on the ruffle card. But the paintings are awesome. The first one with the misty sky is so neat, love the trees and boulders. Then the bare tree trunks is so eerie and yet calming...nice job
