This is also for a few other challenges:
1. Four Crafty Chicks - embossing

For this card I used the Rose image again...it was stamped on patterned paper, cutout with oval Nestabilities, and colored with Copics. The background was created using Rubbernecker's Wild Garden Frame #SKU: 515-03 . It was stamped on the Prism Frosted Orange cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black and glamed up with some lace, a black diecut flourish, gold cording, black pearls, and a corrugated buttefly.

Beautiful cards. The "winged things" is especially pretty. Love the lace with the swirl, twine, and crimped butterfly. Thanks for joining us at Little Miss Muffet Challenges.

Such wonderful cards! Thank you for playing along with my flutter by challenge!
Hi, Joan. Now that first color combo is not one I would think to put in a home decor, but it is sure beautiful on your card! I love that flower in the middle. Very bright and cheerful. Now the second card, I really love it. Swirls and vintage lace, beautiful centerpiece for the flower. Thanks for stopping by my blog with such a nice comment. As for good books, I just finished "The Peach Keeper" which will keep you glued to the book, and "Lighthousekeeping", brief but captivating. Currently reading "Leeway Cottage", very insightful historical novel about Denmark in WWII. Long comment, I know -- just feeling chatting today! Sending hugs!
I know that is not what those brown eggs look like when you gather them Joan. Hee Hee. All cleaned up they are beautiful. Tasty. How fun. And you get to be awaken by your own alarm clock. Hee. But they don't seem to know when to stop...and cock a doodle all day! Ha. I love that striking card with the green shape in the bg. Love love the butterfly on your ribbon treatment. I love that....its like he just came and decided to stay on your beautiful creation.
Wow these are just beautiful. Thanks for joining us at LCI this week.

Both cards are beautiful Joan! I love how different you did each of them and both are so pretty and colored so beautiful! Hope you are getting the cooler weather finally. We are and it is extreme, down to the 50's here on Fri. and 100 on Tuesday.
Fresh eggs, yumm! Your first card on the Tuesday Trigger is perfect, love the colors. I like your coloring on the rose and the pretty swirls.
Hey Joan! Thanks for linking this up to this week's Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
Gorgeous cards! I love all the embossing on your first one - thanks for entering it at 4 Crafty Chicks this week :)
Beautiful cards Joan, gorgeous rose image. My favorite is the second card, love the DP.
Love your cards!!! Loving the second one with the background and the warm colors. OK, the eggs are amazing, how much fun to be able to collect the eggs. Have a great weekend, we are enjoying a wonderful, long thunderstorm right now :)
Gorgeous floral cards- love the die and colors on the first- and love the flower on the 2nd......How fun to have fresh eggs- lucky you! It used to be the highlight of our day growing up when we visited Grandma and she chose us to help her get the eggs from the hen house!
Tolle Karten.
Vielen Dank für deine Teilnahme bei EAC.

Wowzer Joan!! I love both of your cards with the rose. One has a summer flare or feel and the other fall. Gorgeous coloring and designs. They are darling eggs. I guess you have enough eggs!!
Hugs,

Two beautifully created cards, Joan. Love the embossing and image on your first card, and gorgeous stamped background and colours on your second:)
Those fresh eggs look wonderful!!
hi Joan, I love your Moxie Fab World trigger cards! I sat looking at the inspiration photo wondering what parts you would pick out - you always seem to include all the main elements somewhere in your card and produce something very recognisable from the photo. Love your tasteful use of the colours here, and also how you used the stamp on your second gorgeous card too.
How exciting to be getting your own eggs now! Or should I say 'eggs-iting' lol. CoB
Beautiful colours in both cards Joan. I LOVE the embossed background in the first one and the lace and butterfly in the second. Both beautifully coloured. Thanks for joining in the fun at LCI this week x
Both cards are gorgeous but I especially love the vintage card and those gorgeous colors. Thanks so much for joining us at Anything Goes with this amazing creation. "Hugs" Carol
Gorgeous cards, Joan. Wonderful coloring! I love your work!
Gorgeous flower and I just love how you incorporated all of the embossing. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cards with us at 4 Crafty Chicks.
OMGoodness, girl....are you going to have time to stamp with all those eggs being fetched from those hens.......lol!!!!
love both of these....love the bold motif of the first and the vintage romanticism of the second
Really gorgeous cards Joan!! Love the over-sized die cut on the top one and the gorgeous coloring of the flowers on the second!! TFS! :)
These are very pretty! Thanks so much for joining us for this week's Flutterby Wednesday challenge!

First, WOW, on the eggs!!! That is wayyyy too cool and I wish we lived near you to share in that abundance.
Second, I love your card - it's so pretty and love how you placed your kraft butterfly on your ribbon. Thanks for joining us at Little Miss Muffet this week! :)
