Waffle Flower and Faber-Castell Inspiration Week and a Challenge Card

Good morning!  How was your weekend?  We packed so many things into our weekend that I am actually relieved it's Monday!  Lol!  Even with work and school, the routine will be nice.  If your kids play sports, you probably feel the same way!

Today's being Monday is fun anyways because I am sharing a mixed media project for the Waffle Flower and FAber-Castell Inspiration Week!  Here is a sneak peek- the full project is on the Waffle Flower Blog today:

The piece is a 6x12" canvas with lots of layering and color!  It was fun doing something different than my normal cards :)

Speaking of normal cards, I am also playing along with the new Waffle Flower Challenge!  It's also on the Waffle Flower Blog today :) Here is the inspiration photo:

And here is the card I made:

I loved the colors in the photograph and of course the daisies!  I've been so inspired by the Bloom Stamp Set and Dies lately!  I used the Summer Blend Ink Pad's #14-Sunshine for the centers.  I also incorporated a doily with the Doily Circle Die.  The sentiment was stamped on vellum to create a soft layer over the top of all that color!

The daisies are so addicting to stamp and cut out!  lol!  There were a lot of them on today's projects- weren't there? :)  They are such a happy flower!

I hope you'll have time to play along with us this time!  Pop over to the Waffle Flower Blog to check out more inspiration from our awesome design team!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope your Monday is off to a great start!

Sunshine and Rain Card

Hello!  

How's your day going so far?  Mine is good- and it's Thursday!  The weekend is sooo close! :)  Today I'm sharing a card I made with Waffle Flower Craft's Rain Check Stamp Set.  I was inspired by the latest Waffle Flower Challenge- the colors are so pretty and spring like!

I stamped the rays from the Rain Check Stamp Set onto the purple cardstock with Versamark ink.  Then I splattered it with white mist and set it aside to dry.  I diecut a bit of vellum with the largest circle from Flowers Circle Die Set.  I stamped a few clouds with turquoise ink and diecut them out using the Partly Cloudy Die Set.  I also cut a bit of rainbow striped patterned paper to go along with everything else.

Once the mist was dry, I adhered the purple paper onto the gray cardstock base.  I added the strip of rainbow patterned paper and then stamped my sentiment just below it with black ink.  I added my vellum circle next, tucking a bit of gray string underneath it with the adhesive.  I layered the clouds next, using foam adhesive on the top on to make it pop.  I finished it all off with a few epoxy dots to bring in a bit of green.

The colors are not ones I usually reach for but I do love how it turned out!  Here is the Waffle Flower Challenge inspirational photo- there is still plenty of time to play along!!

Thanks for stopping by here today!  I hope you are enjoying your Thursday as much as I am! :)

Hey Foxy Card

Hi!  How's your day going?  I am having a great day!  We had an extra busy long weekend packed with fun things and then today we have a snow day!!  It is just what I needed- I'm all caught up on my emails and projects and now I get to play! :)

My girlfriends came over yesterday for a crafty get together- we had fun chatting about crafty stuff and playing with each other's stamps!  I was determined to make a card for a challenge that I haven't gotten to play along with yet and tried and tried while they were here to get it done... I was having so much fun chatting that it didn't get done until after they left- and with a set of my own lol!  Here's my card:

I was inspired by the latest MFT Color Challenge :)  I used the Cute Critters set and decided to keep the layout simple since the stamps are pretty big.  I stamped and cut out the fox and stump then paper pieced the red patterned paper onto the fox.  I added just a bit of glossy accents to his nose :)

I'm going to try to make more time for fun posts over the next few weeks so I can play along with some more new-to-me challenges!  Do you have a favorite or new fun challenge to share?  Let me know! :)

Inky Paws Challenge Time!

Good morning!  Today I'm playing along with the latest Inky Paws Challenge hosted by Newton's Nook Designs.  They've switched things up a bit this week and have a fun color challenge for us:

I love the inspiration picture- don't you?  I just want to eat those cookies up! :)  I picked out the new Love a la Carte set to use and searched through my stash for just the right papers.  Here is what I came up with:

I think the Vintage Bliss collection by Simple Stories goes so well with the colors in the inspirational photo.  The woodgrain is perfect, too!  I stamped the sugar and tea image onto a vanilla colored circle and used my Prismacolor pencils to color it in.  I was going for a slight ombre effect with the pencils on the tea cup- It looks so pretty!  I also added some glitter to my sugar cubes to give it a little sparkle.

This one was so fun to play along with!   To see what the rest of the design team created and to link up your own creation, pop over to the Newton's Nook Designs Blog. The team did a great job with this challenge!

Well, I hope you enjoy your day!  I am attempting to get back to a normal schedule today- we have been home all week because of the weather.  It's been fun but boy am I feeling antsy to get out and about! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Fun Felt Flower

Hi!

Today is rainy and gloomy outside so my girls and I are getting our craft on! Nat and Zoey have been busy creating play-doh treats and boy is it keeping them busy- they've been at it all afternoon! Since they were having so much fun, I sat down and made a fun card to play along with the latest Embellish Magazine Challenge. Here is what I made:



All Supplies by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Stamps: Baroque Motifs, A Word for You
Ink: Early Espresso classic ink; Versamark
Paper: Very Vanilla cardstock; Pink Pirouette textured cardstock; Playdate DSP
Accessories: Subtles designer buttons, Clear embossing powder, paper piercer; baker's twine and felt- craft supply

I created the flower by hand. I started by cutting five ovals out of the felt. I folded each of them in half and ran a running stitch through the folded side. When they were all finished, I knotted the ends of thread together tightly to create the flower shape. It didn't take too much time and I think it turned out pretty cute!

I wanted to keep the design simple so that the flower would really stand out. I added a few swirls using the Baroque Motifs set to the background and heat embossed them with clear powder.

OK! I better get dinner started- I'm going to make curry so I have lots of fresh veggies to chop. Hee! It's all worth it though- curry is my favorite! Hope you are enjoying your day! Thanks for popping in to check out my card.

Saying goodbye to one of my favorites...

Hi! Hope you are enjoying your Saturday morning... my hubby just got back from Starbucks with our favorite Saturday morning treat and now we are set to read the paper together before we start our day. I love Saturdays!

With Stampin' Up!s upcoming Color Renovation, 30 of the current colors will be retired. It seems like a lot but with the additions of some of the great past and current In Colors, plus the addition of 5 new core colors, we will still have plenty to choose from. In fact, I feel my creativity blooming more because of the changes. I am all for it!

That said, I am very sad to have to say goodbye to some old favorites... Ruby Red will probably be the most missed out of all of them. I've got a little stock pile of cardstock incase I need it but I try to work SUO (Stampin' Up Only) when I work with my SU! stuff so who knows how often I'll actually pull it out... Anyways, this card's for you Ruby Red!



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Always set, Tiny Tags set
Ink: Ruby Red, Soft Suede, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron classic inks
Paper: Confetti White, Soft Suede, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Kraft cardstock; Ruby Red textured cardstock
Accessories: Clear embossing powder, Paper piercer, Scallop Edge punch, Scallop Circle punch, Jewelery Tag punch, Dimensionals

This card is also for this weeks Just Add Ink color challenge! Hee! I had so much fun playing along- I might even make some more cards with this pallet... If you have time, check out their great challenge blog and play along!

OK! I'm off to enjoy the weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine's Tic-Tac-Toe Card

Can you tell I've had a little time on my hands? With my hubby home this week, and nothing going on because of the snow, I've had lots of time to play with my stamps! I've also had lots of inspiration from different challenges online! (Thankfully!) This time I'm playing along with the Embellish Magazine Challenge:



I love turquoise and pink together! I really wanted to throw in a little red but decided to stick with the challenge. I love how this turned out though:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: A Happy Heart set
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise, Pink Pirouette classic inks
Paper: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise cardstock; Candy Lane DSP
Accessories: Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, Hemp Twine, Perfect Polka-dots texture plate, dimensionals

I've had this set for over a year now and haven't used this stamp yet... do you have sets like that? I seem to go for the same ones over and over again and have a few that barely ever get inked up! I think I'll challenge myself to use some of these this week... might as well- we are getting more snow!

OK! Off again to create something new! Thanks for peeking!

Snowy Tree Card

I thought I'd pop on this afternoon to post a card I made for Dawn McVey's most recent Raspberry Suite color challenge! I found time to play along this morning during preschool. Here is the inspiration she challenged us with:



Here's my card:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Season of Friendship set; Christmas Tags Hostess set
Ink: Versamark; Chocolate Chip craft ink; Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Baja Breeze Classic inks
Paper: Very Vanilla, Soft Sky, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Kraft cardstock; Baja Breeze textured cardstock; Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP
Accessories: Kraft taffeta ribbon, White Signo gel pen, Dazzling Diamonds, Clear embossing powder, Scallop Edge punch, paper piercer, half back pearls from Pretties Kit

It was fun bringing back some old school Stampin' Up! In colors! Hee! The card base is textured Baja Breeze cardstock and I used Soft Sky for the background behind my tree- stamping it with Versamark snowflakes before I added the tree image. I also created some faux stitches around the edge, using my White gel pen and a paper piercer! To add snow to some of the tree branches, I first drew it in with my White gel pen and then added a little glue and some Dazzling Diamonds glitter!

Hope you all enjoy your day! I'm off to cook up a special dessert for tonight's dinner with two little helpers! Hee!

Thanks for looking,

Fall Leaves Card

Today is feeling like fall... The leaves are bustling around in the wind, the weather is a little chillier, and I'm drinking my favorite fall flavored creamer- Pumpkin Spice in my coffee! Fall is my favorite season but somehow, I am feeling like I neglected it in my cards! Silly, right? I decided I better make a fall card...



I really loved how this card looked before I added the Crystal Effects to the leaves. Somehow, it just looked better without it! Oh well!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

A Fun Challenge

My friend Andrea added a challenge to her blog Twilight Sparrow this week! She challenged her readers to create something with this children's book cover in mind:



and here is what I made:



Goodies:

Stamps: Crazy for Cupcakes by Stampin' Up!; Invitation Builder set from Paper Salon
Ink: Jet Black Staz On
Paper: Whisper White cardstock by Stampin' Up!; textured cardstock by Bazzill Basics; patterned paper by Paper Salon

I was using up some scrap paper with this card... I loved the bright colors paired with black and white- I was trying for a somewhat graphic look, like the cover!

I had fun with your first challenge Andrea! I can't wait to see what you come up with next!!

Fifth Avenue Floral Card

Today I'm posting a card I made using Dawn McVey's latest Raspberry Suite Color Challenge as my inspiration. The colors she chose were very interesting and nothing that I would ever put together! I thought it was going to be a real challenge to use them but once I had them all on the table together, it wasn't so daunting! Hee! Here is what she challenged us with:



And here is the card I made:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral set, Thank You Kindly set
Ink: Melon Mambo, Bravo Burgundy, Certainly Celery Classic inks
Paper: Very Vanilla, Melon Mambo, Bravo Burgundy, Certainly Celery cardstock
Accessories: Melon Mambo polkadot grosgrain ribbon, Dimensionals

I saw this card on Teneale Williams' blog earlier in the week and loved the simple design of it. I totally cased it! Hee! I also used my Fifth Avenue Floral set, which has been sadly neglected since I bought it... I had such plans of using it but every time I get it out, I have a hard time... I think the key is to keep it simple with this set... less is more! Hee!

Anyways, we are up for a busy Saturday! We are closing on our first house early next week so we are off to get some paint samples at Home Depot! I can't wait to decorate my girls' rooms! Hee! Then it's down to Scrapdoodles in Fredericksburg, VA for some shopping and to check out the new Quickutz machine- the Epic 6- they received theirs last week! I can't wait to get mine now! And after that, I get to go to dinner and crop at my good friend Dawnette's house... she is the most amazing cook! I'm excited to see what she comes up with tonight!

OK! Have a great weekend and I'll be back on Monday with some button inspired card- a special assignment for the Paper Crafts Gallery Idol- I actually made the Top 10!!!

A Fun Color Challenge!

Thank you Kristina for posting another one of your awesome Color Inspiration Challenges! I was in desperate need of something to inspire me today! Here is her challenge for us this time around:



and here is what I made:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Stamps: The More the Merrier set, Party Hearty set
Ink: Versamark; Riding Hood Red Classic ink
Paper: So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Certainly Celery, Ballet Blue, Whisper White, Riding Hood Red cardstock
Accessories: White embossing powder, White Signo gel pen, paper piercer, Dimensionals; ribbon by Lil' Davis Designs

I loved the colors in the challenge this week but wanted to create a clean and simple card. I stamped one cupcake from the stamp on each piece of cardstock using Versamark and then embossed it with White embossing powder. I cut the cupcakes out and popped them up onto 1" square pieces of the same color cardstock. I added some faux stitching for a little detail and adhered them to my white background. I added the sentiment, matted it to the red cardbase and lastly, searched my stash for some matching red ribbon! I was happy to find this old, neglected polkadot ribbon... it just works! Hee!

Well, I hope you are all enjoying your day! If you have time, check out the other cards people submitted for the color challenge on Kristina's website- there is some great talent there!

Thanks for stopping by!

A KWerner Color Challenge...

When I saw the latest Color Inspiration Challenge on Kristina Werner's blog this week, I couldn't help but play along! The colors were so rich and gorgeous! Here is what she challenged us with:



And here is what I made:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Always set
Ink: More Mustard, Really Rust, Going Gray, Basic Gray Classic inks; Versamark
Paper: Basic Gray, Very Vanilla, Really Rust cardstock; Autumn Vine DSP
Accessories: Clear embossing powder, Very Vanilla wide grosgrain ribbon, Stamping Sponges, paper piercer, White Signo Gel pen, Scallop Edge punch, Dimensionals

I decided to go with an old, favorite stamp set, Always... I haven't used it in so long! It was one of my very first Stampin' Up! purchases and definitely worth every penny! Don't you love sets like that!

I also used my favorite technique, emboss resist with the heart... I layered it to incorporate more colors to the design and added a Very Vanilla mat to really make it pop off the background. I wanted to keep it simple so I tried not to go overboard on all the little things... sometimes I have a habit of that! Hee!

Thanks for taking a peek today! I am thinking of taking my girls to explore a new park... it is too perfect outside to stay inside!

Pretty card for a friend...

Today, I found some time to play along with Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge! I dug out one of my favorite retired colors... Wild Wasabi! Don't you wish some of those oldies would make a comeback? I am hoping for that someday... Anyways, here is what Dawn challenged us with this time:



And, here is what I made!



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Friends 24-7 set, En Francais background
Ink: Basic Black, Green Galore, Glorious Green (I had to mix them to look like Wild Wasabi which I don't have...), Barely Banana Classic inks; Versamark
Paper: Wild Wasabi, Very Vanilla, Basic Black cardstock; Candy Lane DSP
Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Aqua Painter, Ice Circle Rhinestone brads, Valet ribbon originals, Scallop Edge punch, Dimensionals

I wasn't sure what to do with the colors in this challenge so I pulled out one of my favorite sets, played around for a few minutes and came up with this! It was a fun challenge, and since I really didn't have the matching ink, it was fun coming up with a solution to my problem!

Anyways, I'm keeping it short tonight... we got Twilight in the mail from Netflix today and I'm excited to watch it! I am currently reading the second book in the series and I think I'm hooked! I hope the movie does it justice.

Thanks for taking a peek!

A Raspberry Suite Color Challenge!

When I first saw Dawn McVey's color picks for the latest Raspberry Suite Color Challenge, I didn't know what to do! I immediately thought of flowers because of her picture:



I do a lot with flowers so I decided to do something a little different... Here is my card:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Stamps: For the Bride set, En Francais background stamp
Ink: Always Artichoke Classic Ink, Versamark
Paper: Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery, Pink Passion, Whisper White cardstock
Accessories: Certainly Celery Poly-Twill ribbon (Sale-a-bration), Scallop Edge punch, White Embossing powder, Piercer tool and mat,distressing tool, Stamping Sponges, green ribbon by American Crafts, paper flowers by Prima and Doodlebug Designs

I've had this stamp set for a little while now and every time I use it, the card comes out a little funky. I think it was my color choices... they were a little drab. I love how it looks on the bright pink though! My friend Ashley always makes the cutest cards with her wedding cake stamps... I was trying to channel her a little and added the ribbon and flowers to the top. I also did some faux stitching around the focal piece and piercing around the background edges. I used En Francais to add a little something to the background as well- inked in Always Artichoke and stamped off before I stamped onto my card base.

Crazy! I have so many projects to share but not enough time to share them! I'll try to catch up this weekend with a few extra posts!

Hope you enjoy the day!

Little Birds in a Row

This afternoon while Natalie was taking a snooze, I got to make a card for this week's Color Inspiration Challenge on Kristina Werner's blog! I love participating in her challenges! Here is what she challenged us with this time:



and, here is the card I made!



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Cheep Talk set, A Little Birthday Cheer set, Owl Together set
Ink: Baja Breeze, More Mustard, So Saffron Classic Inks; Versamark
Paper: Baja Breeze, So Saffron, More Mustard, Whisper White cardstock; Sahara Sand textured cardstock; Walk in the Park DSP
Accessories: Kraft taffeta ribbon, Paper Piercer and mat, Dimensionals, Signo White gel pen

I love these little birdies and have wanted to make a card with them all lined up like this since I got it back in January! I added a little hat on one because I wanted it to be a birthday card for my cousin Shirlie... she's having her 18th birthday tomorrow!! I added some faux stitching to each of my background panels and some Kraft colored taffeta ribbon as a little wire for the birds to sit on. The hardest part was the hand cutting!

Funny, Deb of Papertree Designs Blog commented today and said I should submit the flip flop card I made last week... it really would have worked! These must be some hot colors! Hee! If I hadn't had the afternoon to stamp, I probably would have!

Well, I better go... I've been multi tasking, watching American Idol and Dancing with the Stars while typing this up. I can't wait to see who wins both shows!! It seems like the competition is pretty close this year and that makes it a little more exciting to watch!

Hope you all have a great day tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #6

I love participating in Dawn McVey's color challenge! Her color choices are always bright and cheerful and usually colors that I wouldn't normally put together. For this one, she used a light aqua, a bright corally pink, chocolate brown, and white. Here is her inspirational photo:



For me, stamping with mostly Stampin' Up supplies, it was hard to find just the right shades in my stash... I finally found some patterned paper by Chatterbox and kind of went from there! Here is the card I made:



Goodies:
Products by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Stamps: Polkadot background, Friends 24-7 set, Dreams DuJour set
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Cameo Coral Classic inks; Versamark
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White cardstock; patterned paper by Chatterbox, Seaside paper by Lasting Impressions
Accessories: Sander block, Chocolate Chip wide grosgrain ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Clear embossing powder, piercing tool, Dimensionals by Stampin' Up! Scallop Edge punch by Fiskars; miniature halfback pearls- unknown...

I love the look of the Polkadot background stamp on white paper. I stamped it with Versamark and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I think it just addes a little something to the background. I built up the layers on this card and had a hard time finding something to add to the middle as a focal point. I started with a large flower stamp, then tried a larger butterfly but since my inks are just a tad off, I went with the sentiment in brown... I added the butterfly last, using a stamped off version of Cameo Coral... it toned it down a little and matched the background paper a little better!

I am finally done with the big projects I was working on so I should be posting more regularly now! I am planning to work on Kristina Werner's latest color challenge this afternoon... if you have time, you should play along, too!!

Thanks for looking!

A Red Butterfly...

I'm so excited to participate in Kristina Werner's 50th Color Inspiration Challenge! These challenges really get me out of a funk when I'm in one and help me to learn to use my products in different ways! Thanks Kristina for posting such great inspirations!

Here is her challenge for us:



And here is what I made:




Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Simple Friendship set, Baroque Motifs set, Polkadot Background
Ink: Summer Sun, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise Classic inks; Versamark
Paper: Whisper White, Summer Sun, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red cardstock; Bella Rose DSP
Accessories: Chocolate Chip wide grosgrain ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Scallop Edge punch, Piercing tool and guide, White embossing powder, 1 3/4" Circle punch

When I think of this set, I don't think of these colors and I think that's why I chose to use it! Well, that and it was already on my desk... Hee! First, I stamped the background of the cardbase with polkadots in Real Red. I love the look of color on color... it's subtle but gives some texture at the same time! Next I stamped and embossed the swirls stamp from Baroque Motifs on a strip of Summer Sun cardstock. I matted it with Tempting Turquoise, tearing it on the bottom edge. I added another torn edge of the Chocolate Chip polkadot DSP and also a crumpled strip of white with the bottom edge scalloped. I tied my ribbon around it and stuck it in the middle of my card base. I added the friend next. Then I started working on the focal point. I wasn't sure what color I wanted the butterfly to be so I cut out one of each color and accidentally doubled them up and liked the way it looked! I stuck them together using a dimensional and added glitter to his wings. I made a little distressed square for him to live on and added it to my cardbase.

See! With out Kristina's color inspiration, I'd probobly never see a pretty red butterfly! I love it! If you have time, I hope you can participate, too!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Back to Blogging!

I had such a great week last week! My cousin Shirlie flew in from Washington state to spend part of her spring break with us. We had fun but, I really slacked on the old blog, didn't I! To make up for it, I'll share two cards today and give a little blog candy away!! First, the cards... I made them last week before I knew Shirlie was coming.

This one was made for Dawn McVey's latest Raspberry Suite color challenge:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Always set, Together Forever set
Ink: Basic Brown, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Cameo Coral classic inks; Versamark
Paper: Very Vanilla, Cameo Coral, Riding Hood Red, Kraft cardstock; watercolor paper; Candy Lane DSP
Accessories: Very Vanilla wide grosgrain ribbon, Top Not Die, Aqua Painter, Scallop Edge punch

I watercolored the main image and then popped it up, matting it in different colors for a layered effect.

This next card is just a simple one I created for any occasion:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Stamps: Best Wishes and More
Ink: Regal Rose, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Black classic inks
Paper: Regal Rose, Whisper White, Basic Black, Baja Breeze card stock; Patterned paper by Bo Bunny
Accessories: White Signo Gel pen, Paper Piercer, ribbon by American Crafts, buttons and thread- craft supply

The hearts are just stamped and cut out then popped on to the card front using dimensionals. I love the sentiment on this card because it really could be used for just about any happy occasion.

And, like I promised, some blog candy! I am loving the new stuff in the Occasions Mini Catty so I'll be giving away the Great Friend set:

the Walk in the Park DSP pack:

and a package of the Printed Window Sheets:


Just leave a comment on this post telling me what your favorite thing in the new mini is by 5:00pm (eastern) on Friday, April 17th and I'll randomly pick a winner! Good luck!

Glittery Green Rubber Boots Card

Hi! I thought I'd post a card this afternoon so I could play along with Kristina Werner's latest color challenge! The colors she chose are some of my favorites! Here is her inspiration for us:



And, here is what I made:



Goodies:
All products by Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Scene From a Garden set
Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic Ink; Jet Black Staz On
Paper: Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, and Confetti White cardstock
Accessories: Kiwi Kiss striped grosgrain ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds, Crystal Effects, Aqua Painter, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Dimensionals

I love seeing these rubber boots all lined up! I thought it would be fun to create a card with fun funky boots that stood out among the rest... and, I thought the sentiment stamp worked perfectly!

I stamped the boots first, using my Stamp-a-ma-jig to create a straight line. Next, I watercolored them all using residual ink from my Chocolate Chip ink pad. Then, I stamped a pair of boots on to Kiwi Kiss cardstock and added Crystal Effects for gloss, and Dazzling Diamonds for glitter! When it dried, I added it to my card front, using dimensionals so they really stand out. I stamped my sentiment and added ribbon and there you go! Quick and cute!

Anyways, hope you are all having a lovely day! Hee!
