Best Friends

Today I'm playing along at Cut it Up where it's all about FRIENDSHIP! They're looking for 1000 followers and are awful close so maybe give them a follow! I did! Crafty friends are the best!

Today I'm sharing a card made with Pretty Pink Posh stamps and dies. I started with a layered ombre background made with Rounded Stitched Rectangles.

Next I added branches and leaves in shades to coordinate with the ombre layers. Who says leaves need to be green?

Next I added these sweet dragon flies from the Cute Bugs stamp set. The set includes lots of different garden insects that are cute as a bug!

I hope you find some time to play along and that you're having an amazing day!

Let's Make Waves

Today I'm playing at AAA Birthday Card Challenge where it's anything goes as long as it's for BIRTHDAY! I thought these mermaids from Pink & Main would be fun to play with. I love a scene card and things come together easy when the set includes some accessories.

I started with a simple Distress Oxide ink background and then added the Copic Colored images. I used the Let's Make Waves stamp set. The images were easy to color and I had lots of fun making this scene.

I like to arrange the images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base to help me decide what to put where. It was easy with the rock and coral to layer across the sea floor.

Some of the images are adhered flat to the card base to help "ground" them while others are adhered with adhesive foam tape to give the appearance of them floating. It really does make a big difference.

I hope you'll find some time to play along. It's really relaxing and I don't know about you, but I'm always surprised when I see the completed design.

Make A Wish!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope life is good and that you're having a great day. Today I'm playing along at Beautiful Blossoms Challenge It's always anything goes and this time they have an optional inspiration photo to get your wheels spinning!

It's that time of year when finally green has returned but so have the dandelions! And while some of you might not consider these beautiful blooms there are so many beautiful things about dandelions.

I think the first flower our children pick for us is a dandelion How many of us have made a wish blowing on the dried head of a dandelion? The seeds drift off into the air like our wishes on the wind. From what I've been told my great grandfather used to make dandelion wine! Talk about making the most of what life throws your way!

My dandelions are arranged on layered Rounded Stitched Rectangles. I stamped the sentiment directly on the white panel and embellished the design with some pretty sparkly pearls.

I hope you make the most from whatever life throws your way. Hugs to you!
