 Hi There -

I am back at it in my craft room, playing with some new stamps, stencils and dies. I am still working through the thank you's I need.

These sweet snowmen are visiting Inspired By Challenge, and Fourseasons - Winter Season.

Some of you might recognize, that I picked up Waffle Flower's Postage Collage Die bundle which has a lot of good stuff. The sentiment is part of a Stampin Up paper pumpkin set I think...it was randomly included in a gift.

I kept the postage stamp collage stencils, dies and stamps out to play along with Color Hues #78 and a new Challenge in blogland called Word Power  hosted by Darlene and Dianne. The challenge calls for the sentiment to take center stage. They now have a line up of NINE challenges.

Thanks so much for visiting!

 Hello-

I've spent a lot of time cleaning up floor piles in my crafty space. Seems I don't have enough room on my shelves ...  And I've been working on Easter cards.  So its been all work and no posting for a week.

I did manage to get out a floral bouquet stamp from The Greetery for a few cards. My favorite is the one on top.  Yes, the yellows and pinks which when blended look a bit orange make me happy.

Coordinating envelopes for them all. They were stamped. then heat embossed on bristol paper and colored with Arteza watercolor brush markers. Fortunately I also had the die so yay no fussy cutting. I found some backgrounds to mount the bouquets and I have a handful of cards.

I love a thinking of you sentiment because it can be personalized for any occasion on the inside.  These will be visiting Beautiful Blossoms and Inspired By challenges.

Thinking of you

 Hello -

I have a card today for two challenges -  Time Out and Inspired by.  I grabbed my one dog stamp, Woof Pack from Newton's Nook for the challenge.  

This image has a lot to color, but I thought it would be fun just to have pops of color from the collars and scarves. I added bits of C1 and C0 copic color to each of the dogs to stop them from being too flat. I mounted the die cut panel onto a black card base, and added a black frame.  The sentiment comes from The Greetery along with the die cut shape.  The little bow is from Pretty Pink Posh. 

I really like using Thinking of You sentiments for everything, you can add a happy birthday or other specific sentiment inside and personalize the card that way. 

Thanks much for visiting.
