Sunflowers Times Three

Hello! Happy Saturday, yesterday I got an order from Mark's Finest Papers and I was itching to ink them up, so my card today is for Vicki's challenge over at Speedy the Cats challenge. To make a card using three flowers on our card. I used "Blackberries,Sunflowers and Bees" by MFP.
The sunflower is a little large for three of them on a standard card. So I stamped three images using a mask and then scaned it in my PC and reduced the size to 70% and I colored them with Prismacolored pencils and then cut out the image. Card stock is SU and DP is Basic Grey and Webster's Pages.


I was really pleased with how it turned out and LOVE that set!! The challenge just started, so if you are interested to joining the fun and a chance to win a free stamp set you can find it here.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Hello Friend!

Hello all my stamping friends! My card today is for Melissa's sketch challenge over at Stamp TV.
I just love this adorable little duck. I didn't make it for anyone at this time, just wanted to color that duck. So I left off a sentiment but I can add one later . The stamp set I used is from Rupa Shevde " Spring has Sprung" by Gina K. Designs. The image and water was colored with copic's and I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to do the reverse image. Card stock is by Gina K. Designs and DP is Basic Grey.


My DH and I just got back from a walk and the weather is perfect. Now I need to clean that kitchen:((

Some Photo's and a Card

Hello! I'm back with another post. This card is for the inspiration challenge Brenda has over at Stamp TV. The stamp set is from Theresa Momber newest set "Hope Grows" by Gina K. Designs. I used DP from Webster's pages and cut it down leaving the fountain image at the bottom then I sponged around the edges and stamped the leaves and flowers using memento ink. A real easy and fast card.



Now for some photo's , this morning I got my coffee and looked out on the back porch and here she slept in my chair and she must have been really sleepy because she didn't want to wake up. So I snapped these photo's off through the glass.





It was really awesome but I don't her sleeping on the porch, so DH is going to build a gate and see if that helps. Have a good one.

Thank you Cards

Best Friends

Hi there! I'm getting down to wire on this one. This card is for Vicki's challenge over at Speedy the cat challenge. To make a background. I decided to do one that Gina over at Stamp TV did on a tutorial a few weeks back. It is called Recessed Diamond Background and you can find it here.
The stamp set I used is from the newly released set "More Speedy the Cat Friends" by Mark's Finest Papers. I also did this for Ways to use it over at SCS. To use ribbon on our card. I tried to make the ribbon look more look a collar for a lovable pet.


I colored the dog with prisma pencils and OMS. The hearts are cut out using nestabilities. Card stock is by Gina K. Designs.
Got to run, thanks for stopping by my blog
