Thinking of You...

Good morning friends. I hope you are doing well this Thursday morning! I seem to be drawn to beautiful green things...I guess my person is ready for lots of beautiful green grass and if possible some flowers to boot! With the rain that comes to us in Seattle, we know the green WILL come...just hoping we don't drown in the rain that brings it!;)

Although today isn't Monday, I wanted to play along with the "Cure for the Monday Blues" challenge. I LOVE the pattern on the rug.... and the floral pattern on the wall and I LOVE the pops of bright color! I was excited to find that my stencil matched the rug... anyway...I love the inspiration photo...

 

I also used the new Freshly Made Sketch.  I loved the simple cleanness of it..as always!! This particular stencil is from Simon Says Stamp. I used Mowed Lawn distress ink for most of the color, then after I took off the stencil I lightly used my ink blending tool to add a little bit of Peacock Feather distress ink too. Just a little hint of the Peacock Feather... The Moxie Fab Challenge that is currently going on is about stencils... YEA!! I have been smitten with them...

My floral pattern is from an American Crafts Spring pad I picked up at Target the other day...and the colors are SO fresh and vibrant...I love them all!! The sentiment is also new for me, it's from Hero Arts Everyday Sayings set. I stamped it with some Hero's Hues Black ink.

 

My lovely feathers...were cut out of watercolor paper with the Wplus9 Fanciful Feathers dies. I used distress ink to water color them, then used some Martha Stewart Neon glitters to add some texture and shine!! I had to almost fight my daughter Ruby for these feathers...I was letting them dry on my desk and she spotted them...oh boy! You will be happy to know that she painted a whole bird worth of feathers today...and they have all been glitified and are awaiting being put onto cards when she gets home from school today!

 

The last piece of my card are my cute pink sequins...that are FLAT! They are a new Heidi Swapp RUB-ON! How fun are they...VERY!! There are some great shaped rub-ons that you will see in the coming days...SO much fun!!

 

I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll see you tomorrow for some more fun!! Thanks care and thanks for stopping by!! 

You are loved!

Hello friends! Hope you are doing well! I had a super fun mail day today...lots of new goodies to play with and lots of mess to be made! Don't you love boxes arriving on your doorstep!?

 

So, today I've got a card with a few fun new items for me to play with! I decided to join in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge...Glitter It! You know I love glitter...and this new NEON glitter from MS is awesome! My girls are so excited to have neon glitter...must admit it is so nice!

 

I pulled out my new Backgrounds and Borders 1 set from WPlus 9..stamped in wet cement ink...love that great stamp! I used a little bit of basic gray paper mounted on black carstock...an old pad that hadn't seen love in quite a while! I used Raspberry Fizz cardstock for my tag, added some be creative double sided adhesive and then added my beautiful pink neon glitter! The You is stacked about 4 layers thick--and it is new product for me from PTI, Phrase Play #1. The "are loved" stamp was stamped in Hero Hues Black ink, that sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. I sprinkled a few iridescent sequins...and there you have it!

 

I hope that you are all doing well...thanks so much for stopping by!! I will see you tomorrow to share more fun...and oh, a new Cupcards to Go kit is coming next week...SO much fun!!   Take care and see you laters!
