A Man Card

Hello ~

Another card from the nights crafting session.  I tend to stick to green, brown, and blue on the man cards.  This is no exception.  I used Altenew's Leaf Canopy stamps and Winnie and Walter's Happy cut away.

After stamping and die cutting the large leaf image, I stamped several of the smaller leaf images on to some oatmeal cardstock.  Next I cut out the Happy from the card front using W & W Happy cut away. I cut it several more times to make a stacked die cut.  I added the small stamped Birthday on top of the layered die.

I am entering this card to The Male Room Challenge and to Winnie and Walters 5th Birthday Bash. The Male Room challenge is anything goes with the option of using no designer papers.  I made my own background using the smaller of the leaf images, and stamped and die cut the larger image. For W&W the happy was cut several times and stacked.

Hydrangea Birthday

Hi there~

I am taking a bit of license in making my Hydrangea more purple than blue, I love purple and green together and at Color Throwdown the colors this week are Purple, Green, Gray, and white.  The sketch at Freshly Made sketches gave me a jumping off point.  I am also adding this to Winnie & Walters 4th Birthday Bash - Watercolor with a twist.  I am adding shading with pencils.

 

I have a slew of birthday cards to make and flowers will adorn most of the feminine ones.  Instead of black ink I used versafine smokey gray to stamp the image and sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Make a Pattern

Hi Everyone!   Have you heard yet that Winnie and Walter are having their 3rd Birthday Bash?  Lots of challenges and fabulous prizes to be sure.  One of the challenges is from Mayuri and is Pattern Making.

I used Anna's Flora and Big Bold Friends to complete my card along with a variety of  SSS dye inks.

The hugs is die cut from some pearlized vellum and stacked 4 deep. I thought it went perfectly with some PPP Marshmallo sequins. Hard to see the silkiness of the die cut vellum in the photo, but it is quite cool looking IRL.   My secret trick...that banner is cut from the middle of the panel mat, since I mounted it all on a white card base, no one will know...and you won't tell right?

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

  

More Bed of Roses

I am so fascinated with this stamp, that I have put it to use again for the Winnie and Walter 3rd Birthday Bash.  This time my inspiration was the mood board.

 

The yellow flowers and the gray strip reminded me of one of my favorite color combinations - yellow and gray. 

I used water color pencils to color the roses which had been heat embossed in clear over smokey gray ink, I didn't quite want a harsh black line drawing.  I added a deep yellow mat and mounted it all on a gray card base.  The sentiment and diecut are also from Winnie & Walter, Big Bold Friends.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

WW Anything but a Card

Playing along with Anything But a Card Challenge with Kate.

Addie's Garden, Big Bold Seasons

I have always been a reader. While hubs and I courted cross country I relied on my Kindle. Now that I have settled down I love going to the library to pick up hard backed books for reading. I have a goal to read 1 book a week and so far this year I am on target.  So what would be more useful than a sweet bookmark?

Thanks for stopping by!
