Happy Mother's Day - Purple Flowers

Hello all-

I hope you had a great weekend. I know that I have been busty making cards for friends and family for Mother's Day. I hope that when you stop by, you are being inspired to start making yours too!

Today's card is pretty simple. I created a row of flowers and then stamped the word sentiment. Quick and easy. I hope you like the card and thanks for stopping by!

Distressing....

Hello all & Happy Monday!

Today's card is a tribute to Tim Holtz's Distressing inks. I sooo love them. I used the distressing inks on the diamond pattern (Spiced Maralade & Peeled Paint)by inking up the two colors and then spritzing it w/water, and then stamping the image. I did the exact same technique w/the butterfly and then sponged color on it and added gem stones.

I love the color combo and I really like how it came out. Thanks for stopping by and see ya tomorrow!

Happy March 1st - Spring is coming....

Good Morning all and Happy Mrach 1st!

I can not believe that it's March already. This year is zooming by and I am so looking forward to Spring. Here in NYC, we have had quite a bit of snow and I am just about all snowed out. I want to see the pretty flowers and butterflies!

Today's card is inspired by the spring and flowers. I used a great flower stamp by Stampenous as the focal point of the card. I colored it in using PrismaColor Colored Pencils and then added a layer of Inkessentials Glossy Accents to the edges of each petal. I love the shine and dimension it gives. This Glossy Accents is my NEW favorite thing now...LOL!

I hope you like the card ad I hope it inspires you to get your flower stamps out and get to stamping. Thanks so much for stopping by!
