Welcome to the Royal Blog Tour

Welcome to the Royal Blog Tour

and

Queen Lee Conrey's Kingdom

As you complete your travels throughout each Kingdom, you will visit over 70 castles 

showcasing over 150 projects for your viewing pleasure!

WELCOME to my Castle.  Please take a moment from your travels to rest and relax as you peruse my projects before you continue on with your journey. You will be inspired, challenged and surprised at what we, the Royals, have cooked up for you.

If you started your travels here that is great,  but you might want to start your travels at the beginning by visiting Queen Lee Conrey's Castle here. http://royalblogtour.com/.  If you came from Princess Tammy Baldwin's castle, then you are in the right place. Princess Tammy Baldwin out did herself this time.  Weren't her card and projects fantastic!

My first project is a Gift Box Set with 4 cards made with the Elements of Style stamp set. I love the roses in this set and use them quite often. I chose to make a Tole look, using lace, ribbons and flowers because I love making Vintage looking cards and boxes.

Supplies:
Card stock: Very Vanilla, Real Red;  Stamp Ink Pad: Real Red, Punchs: Scallop Trim, Large Scallop Circle,  Ribbons: Real Red Satin and some gorgeous lace. I hope you enjoy my projects and leave me comments on them.

For my second project I chose something that I saw on Monica Weber's Blog and CASE'd it.  (I also found directions on Splitcoasters.)  I loved her Diaper Fold Pouch so much I had to make one and found it to be one of the easiest projects I have ever done; and, of course I filled it up with my favorite chocolate -- Hershey Kisses.

My final project is an Easel card. I have seen them often and this summer received a few and decided it would be a great project for here. I love birds and flowers so the stamp set Elements of Style was just perfect. I used SU Markers to color the Roses and Humming Bird. Then sponged over the background with Old Olive and highlighted with Daffodil Delight. The photos do not do the card justice.

The first picture shows the front of the card.

And the second picture shows it opened and standing.

I hope you have enjoyed my cards and projects. I will post tutorials after theTour on my "castle" for anyone who is interested and now onto the fun part --  how to win my Blog Candy!

Yep, my first Blog Candy. All you have to do to win is leave a comment with your email address and what you like most about my blog.  I will draw a name and send an email to the winner. Now here is what is in my Blog Candy.  Since I am an artist, I will be giving away an 8x10 oil painting of the ocean.  I hope this will tempt you to leave a comment.
