Grown With Love, thinking of you card, Just Add Ink 371


Today I am playing along with Just Add Ink, here is the challenge and the Link to see the rest of the cards.
I have my own kitty Littlebit in the wagon. He was my favorite of all the cats I have had and that has been many.   I lost him to cancer a short time ago and I have to admit I still shed tears when I think about him too much.    This little stamp looks just like him.  He didn't have a pet bird, but I liked the idea.

The two major sets here are Grown with Love, (my favorite in the new A/C!) and Sitting here, that is the one with the porch type swing.

The grass is a piece of watercolor paper, wet down and using my aqua painter, I spread Garden Green from my ink pad, I pulled up some of the grass pieces and stamped in the rest.   I pulled the dirt stamp from Sheltered Tree.

Sorry to say, the candy dots are retired. I was so sorry to see them go, I really loved them. I used 2 on the wheels and 2 on the sentiment.  You could just punch out real red circles and add those on.

My colors today are: Whisper White, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Pool party, Smoky Slate, Soft Suede, Real Red, Garden Green.

Oh Happy Day, FMS challenge 278, card 2


I just can't decide which one I like better, this one or yesterdays black and white card.  What do you think?

I just had so much fun with this technique I had to try it  with  different colors.
For this one I used Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum with the Blooms and Bliss DSP. Then I had a hard time decided if I liked it better with a white flower or this razzleberry flower.   I really do love the pattern in the DSP a lot!

If you haven't seen the first one, just scroll down after clicking on the header of this blog. That will open it up to all content. Or just go HERE.

Here is the challenge again and you can click on the link to go to FMS.

Thinking of You, Mojomonday484


I have a customer, now also a friend who makes beautiful things.  But she says she has trouble "thinking outside the box".  In her case, she means using more then one stamp set or stamp die set on any given project.
I on the other hand will look for what suits my project best and can end up using 3, 4 or more sets.  I do try not to do too much of that, as I think it's frustrating for anyone reading my blog if they want to make said project and  it looks like they will have to purchase too many things to do so.

Sorry to say, this is one of those cards.  I used two sets that have been around for some time.  PPetite Petals and Flower shop, each has a punch that goes with.

TIP:  Flower Shop can be a problem punching out if something has not been pointed out to you.  It needs to be in the punch only one way.  If you look at the flower and then at the punch, there is one petal that has almost 3 kind of lumps on it.  On my card tha petal is top left, see the little piece that sticks out on the side of that petal? It's the only one like that.

The DSP is part of Blooms and Bliss.  As yet I don't have the stamp set, but I fell in love with this DSP!

I hope you enjoy and I am able to give you some inspiration.  Here is the link and sketch for Mojomonday this week.
