Hi guys!
It's been awhile since my last post but I wanted to pop in to say hello and share some cards.
Hubby and I had a wonderful week in Florida recently. Siesta Key is a beautiful place! Just wish I could bring the view of the ocean back to Minnesota with me!
After being home for four days, I was off again - this time to Cincinnati for a crafty retreat. It was just what I needed. Spending time with amazing, kind, funny and talented friends fills your heart and soul like nothing else! And the laughter? Oh, yea, we laughed until our stomachs hurt!
I've got a few cards to share with you too. This first one is water colored using WPlus9's new, Beautiful Bouquets - Dahlias stamp set.
The next two are cutesy ones. Both from Simon Says Stamp's new release, My Favorite. The Cuddly Critters and Cuddly Critters Accessories sets are so much fun, not to mention adorable!
And this one uses their Beautiful Ride stamp set.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you all have a fun and inky weekend! ♥
Hugs,
Hi guys!
I have the pleasure of guest designing for Paru and her challenge blog this month! Thank you, Paru, for inviting me!
The theme for April is "Anything Goes" so I'm sure many of you will guess that I used flowers for my card - I couldn't resist!
I love this floral set, created by Dawn from WPlus9! I had fun with the shadow technique, using white pigment ink to stamp the images, then stamping again, a bit offset this time, with bright colored inks. The effect is always so pretty! This technique works best on a Kraft or soft gray cardstock. I used Simon Says Stamp's Fog Cardstock and that fabulous sentiment is also from WPlus9 called, Hand Lettered Thanks.
Paru also asked me to create a tag. With tags, my thought always goes to birthday gift tags so that's what I made.
I thought a shaker tag would be fun! I used the, Lots of Dots stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. It's the perfect set for creating fun, festive backgrounds! For the shaker portion, I used the Stitched Circle die set, also from SSS.
So, pop on by Paru's Card Making Challenge blog for more details and to check out all the fun! I hope you'll join me in her challenge this month!
Thanks for stopping by! ♥
