Spring is Here

Hi! Is spring really here? I'm ready!! I finally got to play with my stamps today and made some corner bookmarks for some challenges.
I used this really adorable stamp set from Flourishes that I just got and couldn't wait to try. I colored the bunny with Prisma Pencils and cut the image out. To keep with Joan's challenge I used a envelope and Spellbinders border for the edge right through both sides. The DP is "My Mind Eye" The Stamp is by Flourishes " Spring Has Sprung".



Here is a view of the the back. (Can you tell this is a old book?)



I had so much fun and wanted to try a different border, so here is another bookmark using the same stamp set. I used the largest die of Spellbinders Lattice rectangles.


This is for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge to make a Easter card or project. I think this would be a nice Easter gift with a book. Also I'm entering this in Joan's Gardens challenge.
#10
  • Create a corner bookmark using the corner cut off an envelope. You can use an envelope from "junk" mail.
  • You need to cover the front and back
  • Be creative and let us see what you can come up with.
  • Tutorial will be Selma's blog for cutting measurements
Well this was really easy to make but now I need to clean up the mess I made. (looks like I made 10 cards)
Hope your day is going well and thanks for stopping by.

Hi there! I'm back with another challenge card, this time for Flourishes Noon Time Challenge as they ready for March release. This one was oh so easy "make a circle card. I decided to make a masculine card as I don't make them often and I dearly love this gorgeous stamp. I decided to leave it CAS. Not sure if this is a Rainbow trout but I colored it like it was.
Okay, the stamp set is "WHAT A CATCH" from Flourishes. This is much prettier in RL as I added just a little Sakura in clear star but it doesn't show up in the photo.

Timeless Tuesday at Flourishes #158

Hello! I made this card for Timeless Tuesday Challenge over at Flourishes. Tammy is hostessing this week's challenge and the theme is Country Comfort! Create anything inspired by country living…. a farm-theme, gardening, country patterns (calico, gingham, plaid), quilts, wildflowers… whatever you interpret as country comfort! I had so many ideas and started to make a quilt card. But my order came today and I just had to play with some of it. One of the set I received is "Spring has Sprung" I grew up in the country and one the things I loved was listening and hearing nothing but the sound of birds chirping. So when I think of country I think of how quiet it was and how lovely it was just to listen. The branches and the bird is from"Home Tweet Home", the sentiment is from "Pears" and the tiny flowers are "Tiny Flowers and Tags" all are from Flourishes.


The images were colored with Copic's and sky back ground was sponged using Memento.
Hope your day is going well and thanks for stopping by.
