A card and a Greek delish!

Hello my friends, hope your day is much better than mine, I don't want to bore you with my things, so we go direct with the card i have for you today.
I made this card few weeks ago and never posted it. It is a Birthday card with not the colors I like to use often, but I think it turned out pretty good! Actually, I really like it.
For this card I used the Flourish images from Flourishes Set by Inkadinkado, I stamped the image in Broken China Distress Ink and immediately added some Clear embossing powder, heated and you get a really shiny and pretty image. The sentiment is from Verve.
The colors I used are: White, Gray, Turquoise and Black, nice color combo, what do you think? Do you like it?

Card recipe:
Card Stock: White, Turquoise, Black, Gray.
Stamps: Flourishes (inkadinkado). Verve.
Ink: Broken China (Tim Holtz), Stazon Black.
Embellishments: Light blue ribbon (Offray), Turquoise Rhinestones (Kaiser Crafts)
Accessories: Border Punch (Fiskars), Clear embossing powder, embossing gun, mini glue dots.

Now, I want to share with you a recipe I tried last night, it is delicious!! It is Gyro Meat with Tzatziki Sauce. My husband was in the mood for Greek food, got this recipe from Food Network and even though it is a little of work with all the mixing stuff, it is worthy!! The taste is yummy!! Here a picture of the Gyro Meat and my plate ;)
Just a note, I used chicken instead of lamb, I grounded the chicken on my Bullet express. (I hesitated at first about this machine, but it really works)

This is my plate:

Gyro Meat (Chicken):

Have a great day!!

Be Still

Hello my friends and Happy Thursday. Is the weather crazy where you are at? Here, it is super windy!! kinda scary to be honest. I spent part of my day coloring with DD, animals, princesses, flowers, you name it, she has them all, LOL. Of course I wanted to make cards , but this time coloring together was so much fun, she tried to copy my coloring techniques!! she is doing great, of course she is only 5. She always says her daddy doesn't know how to color, that makes me laugh any time I hear that.

Anyway, today I made a card using the sketch from Card Patterns. I started my card with a piece of Kraft (SU), then I cut a piece of Tan Parchment (The Paper Company), stitched and distressed around. I used scraps of Real Red, Kiwi Kiss and Naturals (all SU), this is a good way to use all your little pieces. The stamp is from Verve, the butterfly punch is from MS and the ribbon is from The Paper Studio.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Kraft, Real Red, Kiwi Kiss, White (SU), Tan Parchment (The Paper Company).
Stamps: Psalm 46:10 Verve Stamps.
Ink: Gold (Sponging), Real Red.
Embellishments: Gingham Red (The Paper Studio), Rhinestones (Making Memories), MS Butterfly.
Accessories: Sewing machine, thread, 3D-foam (EK-Success), Mini glue dots, Diamond Glaze, sponges.

I hope you like it.
