FLOURISHES NOONTIME CHALLENGE

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.


I sponged in the background with Memento's and colored with Copic's.
Hope you like it and if you get a chane to play the challenges over at Flourishes you could win this month release.
Thanks for stopping by.

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.

Thinking of You!

Hi, my card here is for Cheri's challenge over at Stamp TV. She wanted us to make a card or project using Gina's "Dropped Shadow" technique. I made mine a little different instead of using a solid stamp, I used this Butterfly from Theresa's "Whimsical Spring" by Gina K. Designs. I actually made both butterflies out of it I just cut them in half. I liked how it looked so went with it. Like getting two for the price of one. Hee, hee.


I also used Theresa's "Little Critters" and the sentiment is from "Dogwood and Butterflies" by Gina K. Designs.
I sponged the background with Memento ink pads, the card stock is from GKD and the DP is Basic Grey. The butterflies were colored with Copic's.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Good morning!! Today is a beautiful spring looking day!! It is suppose to be in the seventies in the valley today!! WOW!! For this weeks challenge Mona has ask us to make a bookmark using a image from Flourishes. My Lilac tree has buds on it. So I thought of this set from Flourishes would the perfect one for my book mark. The set is "Lilac Set". I used the smaller Lilac image and stamped it twice on Ivory card stock from GKD. I colored the flowers with Copic's and sponged with Grape Jelly Memento. The DP is Basic Grey.
