Circles & Friends

Hidey ho....

So happy I am able to play in the Pin-Sight Challenge at Ellen Hutson.

Such a gorgeous collage of inspiration to choose from this month:

I chose to go with the color combo. Love the yummy greens, black and gold together.

Of course my photography skills are lacking, so my green actually looks blue...oops!

I stamped the Bokeh Dots as a background with VersaMark ink, then heat set with Gold embossing powder.

A couple of mats from the color combo and the cutest butterfly couple die cut from Metallic Gold cardstock.

Of all the stamps in the Ellen Hutson line, Amazing Women is my most favorite.

Love, love, love!!!!

April Showers with Joy Clair

hi.....

The new April Showers stamp set comes with pretty blooms and this ever so cute umbrella.

Must be honest and tell you how much I love this color combo. :)

The two Aqua areas of the umbrella were fussy cut and adhered to the card. 

Scalloped punch was used to let the sentiment show through.

Hoping you enjoyed a little sample of all the new stamp sets from Joy Clair.

Everything is in the shop, so check it out here.

Holy Cow...this card qualifies for the challenge at CASology this week.

And...Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

YAYNESS!!!!!!!!

Bouquet for a Pretty Daughter

Hello....

If you have visited here lately, you know I have been extremely busy with DT work for Joy Clair, Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft, Memory Box and doing a Guest stint at Penny Black.

Whew......

I finally get to play in a couple of challenges...

woo to the hoo!

So my Daughter in Love is having a birthday soon and since my hubby and I will be away skiing in beautiful Breckenridge Colorado, I needed to make something a little early.

She really does color our world. She is the most beautiful woman inside and out. She blessed us with two beautiful grandsons and she truly is the best mother I know. Love her!!!

What would make a better bouquet than flowers and paintbrushes...

Nothing that I know of!

Letter to God with Joy Clair

Hello....

In the new stamp set Letter to God by Joy Clair, there are so many single words...you really could write a letter.

I love how the cross was intentionally made small, so I used it as a capital letter.

An ombre of blue inks along with a Navy blue border makes this a very simple card to recreate.

Love, love, love to use the Scor-Pal for embossing lines.

One more new stamp set tomorrow...so come on back!

You are going to absolutely love this new stamp set Funny Food by Joy Clair that is full of puns.

Lion & the Lamb with Joy Clair

Hey there....

This new Lion & Lamb stamp set by Joy Clair is soooo cool.

There is actually a mirror image of the lion stamp so you could make the whole face.

All stamping done with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, then I took a brown Gelly Roll pen to the lions fur.

I have discovered that my soft bound Bible can be used in a Misti stamping tool if you are very careful not to wiggle the book.

YAYNESS!!!!!

Back tomorrow with another new stamp set.
