Hello My Friend

Image

I'm stepping outside my comfort zone and am trying to make some artsy cards.  All stamps used are from a previous Simon Says Stamp kit called A little Artsy.

I will be submitting my card to this week's Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp, the challenge is Flowers using Simon Says products.

So happy you stopped by today!

Have a Bubbly Birthday

Image

Hello stamping friends!  We have a new sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week (see below).  I used cute little animals holding fizzing, bubbly beverages for my card.  The stamps are from Clearly Besotted "tiny tipples", they are colored using Zig watercolor brush markers and I added a few gems for sparkle.

Here's the sketch:

Hello from the fishes in the sea....

Image

We have a new sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge starting on June 22nd (see sketch below).  For my interpretation of the sketch I used a new stencil and stamp set from Blass & Bliss.  The little fish, crab and shrimp are so cute with their smiles and big eyes, swimming in the ocean having a fun time.  This stencil is becoming one of my favorites, a few more cards to come soon.

Here's the sketch:

Daisy Joy

Image

Daisies are such sweet flowers, they always bring a smile to my face.  Stamperia has a beautiful pad of daisy papers and I chose this image from the pad for my card.  I added a striped, embossed background, a ribbon and a scalloped die cut to add texture to the card.

I will be submitting my card to this week's daisy challenge at Inspired By.

So happy you stopped by today.

I used Stamperia Daisy Art's paper pad to make the card.  The sentiment is from an older Stanpin' Up set.
