All Kinds of Happy

Hello....

I finally found a moment to play in a challenge!

I have these gorgeous stamps from The Ton that are just not seeing enough love, so I figured I better color them up and make a card.

The challenge this month at The Ton is this inspiration photo:

Such a gorgeous color combo!!!

Flowers were stamped and watercolored, then fussy cut.

Too many tiny leaves to fussy cut, so they were snipped along the way. 

Before adding my flowers with foam adhesive, I stamped a few of the tiny elements back onto the card front.

I am totally in love with this sentiment.

So versatile to use for most any occasion.

#Be The End

Hello, hello...

New goodies in da house.

As soon as I saw the new stamps/dies from Ellen Hutson that benefited Breast Cancer, you know I had to have them.

I am a three year SURVIVOR and I make/send cards to others that are walking this path!

Not only is the stamp/die collection beyond sweet, appropriate, encouraging...

Ellen Hutson also gives 50% of these sales to Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Whoot  Whoot  Whoot

Isn't it handy that these stamps arrived just in time to play in the Mix-It Up Challenge:

Ellen & Reverse Confetti

The frames were die cut using All Framed Up by Reverse Confetti.

Flowers were stamped with Memento inks, as were the leaves.

A bit of shiny ribbon and some glass beads give the card a little interest.

I hope you will visit Ellen Hutson and purchase one of these adorable stamp sets, or at least make a contribution to end Breast Cancer.

Mother, Fathers & Florals with Simon Says Stamp

Hello there....

It's release day at Simon Says Stamp!!

Such wonderful background stamps in the 

Mothers, Fathers & Florals release.

Heidi and her team were kind enough to send me the Flora Background stamp to play with.

For those that love to color...

this is the stamp for you!

As you can tell by my card, I stamped, heat embossed and watercolored just a select few of the petals.

I then die cut the center out, leaving me a lot of white space for my sentiment.

Flower from one of my favorite SSS sets, Vellum die cut leaves and a bit of string for a pop of color against all the purple.
