Summer Sunshine

Today I'm playing along at The Paper Funday Challenge where this time they're looking for a summer splash! I got this! LOL!

My card is made with the Summer Bucket Additions die set from Pretty Pink Posh. I decided to leave the bucket off and make a bold graphic design with bright solid cardstock!

I started with Shoreline Borders to create a watery foreground. Next I added the bright bold sunshine. The circle in the center is meant to be a lollipop for the bucket, but I like the color it adds to my sun.

A bold flamingo with double cut wings and a silly moving eye are waving hello. Some Tropical leaves are tucked behind.

I think this is total summer on paper and I hope you agree! Hugs to you!

Let Your Dreams Take Flight

Today I'm playing at I Spy With My Little Eye ... something with wings!!! Today that's Dragonflies from the Pink and Main Fluttering By stamp set.

When I get a new stamp set I try to fit ALL the stamps on my card so you can see exactly what you're going to get if you purchase the set. This one has three dragonflies and three floral arrangements along with a few bitty flowers and some sentiments.

I inked mine with alcohol markers. The clean line designs were easy to color. The hardest part is deciding what colors to use!

For an interesting background I selected colors that repeated shades in the flowers and the dragonfly wings and cut them in various size strips. The panel is bold and vibrant and lets the images shine. The finishing touch was a sprinkle of diamond shaped enamel gems.

I hope you have a great time with some time to relax and create! Hugs!

Sending Seeds of Joy

Today I'm playing along at Just Us Girls Challenge Blog where it's Anything Goes with a Stencil!  I'm also linking up to Time Out Challenge where this time the cue words are Mother Nature.   I think half the fun of planting a garden is the miracle of watching a seed turn into a plant and then watching the flowers turn into fruits and veggies! 

Fun fact about me is that I'm a gardener so I really loved seeing this set from Waffle Flower Crafts! FIrst you cut out the Postage Collage Seeds Die, and then ink it with the coordinating Setncil.

I topped mine with a white Postage Collage Blocks die. I ink this give the stenciled bits a cleaner look because they're framed. It forgives any little line up errors you might have made.

To make it a little fussier I set it over a striped "air mail" background made with the Postage Collage Coloring Stencil and then cut with an A2 Piercing Layers die for that dotted edge that matches some of the cut outs on the base.

I thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day! Hugs!
