A day with the Ladies

After a month of traveling and getting over my cold, I finally was able to meet with the crafty ladies yesterday.  I took along a couple of new stamps and a new set of watercolor pencils. I got the store brand at AC Moore, since I wasn't sure if I would like them so I didn't want to invest a lot of crafting budget in them.

I needed a couple of birthday cards this month, and after checking my cubby...I needed a few more thank-you notes.   Stamps are by Altenew, ink used is Versafine, sequins are Pretty Pink Posh, A Muse and Darice, glitter strips are from Michaels and CTMH.

I put the cards together today, to maker sure they had dried fully.



I did enjoy using the watercolor pencils...I need more practice and patience so I can layer in a bit more color after the first layer drys.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
