Cherish Yesterday

I am playing with more Tim Holtz products lately and came up with this layout using the newer Floral Frame after watching his video on You Tube. I also used one of the paper dolls colored with Distress Crayons, Altenew's Peony Bouquet stamps and dies for the flowers around the frame, and a scripty background from Just Rite. This is for Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Frame It. Envelope is decorated with a Gina K stamp. I will also post it on SSS Wednesday Challenge.




Good Day for a Party

 I added this card to my Children's Birthday stash. Started with MFT "Birthday Brights" patterned paper with candles and drew on those colors for the rest of the card. The big balloon is a MFT stencil, the sentiment and elephant are from MFT, and the label is from Sizzix. The confetti is a new SSS stencil and I just love how it brightens up the background! This card is for MFT Sketch Challenge 543.



You've Been on My Mind

I just felt like working with some copic markers and a flower stamp, so I made this card for this week's My Favorite Things Color Challenge 166 and I used the MFT Sketch so I could also enter it in the #543 Sketch Challenge this week, too. The stamp is MFT "Flowers in Bloom" over top an oval created with some Distress Ink through Penny Black Stencil of leaves. The bottom of the panel has a piece of yupo paper with Distress Alcohol Ink in the same teal color.

Happy Mother's Day

 Here is a mother's day card which I never posted. It fits nicely with Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Frame It and will work for the SSS Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes. This uses the stamp flower frame from SSS Get Well Soon.

You Matter

 This card project started with a pink panel which was embossed with white powder using a stamp from Impression Obsession. To this I added a copic colored stamp from Poppy Power, a Spellbinder fancy oral die and a doily. You Matter is from SSS. This is for the two Simon Says Stamp challenges this week - Wednesday and Monday.



Warmest Wishes

 I have been experimenting with more Distress Sprays. Here is a panel which started that way and then I added the SSS Sunflower Frame and a Sentiment from Impression Obsession. I love these deep colors. Placing this on the SSS Wed. Challenge and Mon Challenge for this week.

Thanks

 One more card for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge "Things with Wings."  The butterfly is from Stampin' Up "Watercolor Wings," the background is a stamp I have had for a long time, and the very cool THANKS die is from Papertrey Ink. The die cut "window" is from Simon Says Stamp.




Long Distance Hug

One of my new stencils from Altenew called "Fairy Tale Floral" turned out just beautiful. I used Altenew inks for the various layers on the flowers and leaves. The background panel was created with some Ink Smooching and a heart stamp in pink. Plus, a MFT heart stencil was used for the envelope. Entering this on the Simon Says Stamp Wed Challenge "Stencil It."



Have a Blooming Good Birthday

 A beautiful stencil from Simon Says Stamp called "Bouquet of Roses", colored here with Distress Inks and a simple sentiment from Gina K Designs. This card is for the Simon Says Stamp Wed. Challenge "Stencil It."



Thank You

One more card for the Simon Says Stamp Mon. Challenge "Thing with Wings" and Wed. Challenge "Stencil It.' This stamp is from Gina K Designs stamped in black on some Distress Ink blended through a stencil, and the panel was stenciled with MFT Scattered Bars (also on envelope.)



Sending You Love
