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.

A Couple of Challenges

Hiya, Here is a card I made for my mom's birthday and for a couple of of challenges.
My mom loves flowers and plants and has a really green thumb, I didn't get that from her, so I will just have to color them on paper.
This week Brenda is hosting the "Free for All Friday Challenge" over at Stamp TV. Use a flower stamp and two different shapes on our card.
Also entering this in Joan's challenge over at Joan's Gardens. To make a standard size Birthday card with pink, green and some purple. Distressed edges and some piercing.




My piercing and distressing didn't show up very well, so here a closer view. Still didn't show that well, I guess it is the dark color against the lighter back ground.


The images is from Gina's stamp set "Seeds of Kindness" and the sentiment is from Theresa's set " Mountain Wilderness" both from Gina K. Designs.
I colored the image with Copic's, the DP and card stock is Gina K. Designs. The die are Spellbinders.
Hope your day is going well and thanks for stopping by.

Suncatcher?

Hi, yesterday over at Joan's Garden she had a video on adding glitter using a Memory Box Die. After watching it I just had to play around with this technique. I didn't have the heart die but had recently gotten some Cheery Lynn dies, "Polynesian Sails Oval" and "Lace Rose and Flourishes" from Joan. I used only the rose portion of Rose die. Following his instructions I applied it to a piece of clear plastic. I cut out two of the oval die and glued them together with the plastic sandwiched in between. Here is the front, I'm holding it up against the wall, as I had a hard time getting a photo with the plastic reflecting the light .



This is how it looks on the back side


Joan has some awesome video's on using die's that I have been finding helpful. The photo doesn't show how really reflective the glitter is so it is much prettier in RL looks like a stained-glass suncatcher.
Had fun playing around with this instead of house work!! Thanks for looking.

Looking out my Window

Hi again , I meant to post this earlier but I totally forgot!! I made another window card (I so love this die). This one is for Lee's challenge over at Stamp TV. It is a inspiration challenge from her Pinterest page on Facebook. This challenge just started if you are interested in winning a bag of stamps from Gina K. Designs. I was inspired by a photo looking out a window. In this case I made it look out on a lake near here, "Whiskeytown Lake".

The window die is "Grand Madison by Poppystamps. I received this as part of my recent win over at Joan's Gardens. I just love this die so many things I can do with and I have tons of ideas.
