Lovely Scenic Card

 Hello Everyone,

I just love this scenic stamp from Stampin' Up called Feels Like Home.  I used water-based makers to color all the images.  I kept one and gave the rest to a friend who needed a few cards to send out.  












Each one is colored differently. I think they turned out pretty cool.  

So glad you stopped by today!

Fairy Birthday Cards

 Hello Everyone,

Today, I want to share some cards I made for a friend.  She has three granddaughters who love fairies.  The cards were made so each one would have a card for their birthday. I used a different die cut background for each card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

See you next time.

Dino Birthday Card

 Hello Everyone,

Sharing a cute dino birthday card.  I made this for a cute little guy for his fourth birthday.  



Dinosaurs stamps from Stampin' Up.

I started with a dry embossed background to look like a prehistoric jungle.  Then added the die cut dinosaurs.

Turned out really cute!!

Birds and Flowers Part Two

 Hello Everyone,

Stopping in today to share the rest of the birds and flowers card collection I made.  I stamped with dye ink and colored with copics.  Used lots of different die cuts on the cards.









Fussy cut the birds on this card. 





Used a blue copic maker to create the background on white cardstock. Stamped with Archival black ink.








I used the same stamp set on each card, but they are very different.  I find it fun to challenge myself to come up with different looks with the same stamps.  Fun, fun, fun.  LOL


See you next time with a dino birthday card.

Cute First Birthday Card

 Hello Everyone,

I am back after a little blogging break.  I have been expending all my energy working in the yard and garden.  After working, I am worn out and don't feel like doing too much else.  LOL But I did still take time to make a few cards.  Today, I would like to share a cute first birthday card.  



Animal stamps and dies: My Favorite Things



I started with a white cs background and colored it with distress ink. The animals were stamped with dye ink and colored with copic markers.

Entering the My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge: Sketch 605


I turned the sketch and used straight lines instead of waves.  My "sun" is a balloon.

Will be back to posting regularly now.  I have had to slow down with the gardening and landscape type work.  I strained every muscle in my abdomen and have had to cut down to one hour at a time.  I don't get very much done, but enough for now.  It's always something, isn't it?? lol, Hope you have a lovely day.  

See you next time with some pretty bird cards.
