Lawnscaping Challenge: Calling All Critters - Entry#1 Mother's Day

I recently purchased the adorable Mom&Me set from Lawn Fawn. I knew this would be perfect for Mother's Day cards this year and had a fun time playing with the stamps and dies. I also love the Perfectly Plaid paper from lawn fawn and had to incorporate it into my cards. I stamped the owl and baby set on watercolor paper and tried my hand at watercoloring using the Prima original watercolor tin.

This image fits perfectly with this week's Lawnscaping Challenge #129 Calling All Critters. Thanks for stopping by!

Kat Scrappiness Sequin Card Challenge Entry #1

Kat Scrappiness is hosting a sequin challenge and giveaway over on her blog! I love sequins, have a small collection, love to see them on other people's cards, but I never seem to add them to my own cards.  This challenge was just what I needed to add that extra little "something" to my cards.

The card below was created using a gel print I made. I stamped a heart arts background stamp over the card and then did a little embellishing with some enamel accents. I then added a sentiment made with a simon says stamp die cut. The sequins were then added last, giving that special pop of color. I think they really make the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS Mix Up April Challenge - Entry #1

This morning I happened upon Ingrid Blackburn's Mixing CAS with Monoprints video on YouTube. I recently purchased a Gelli plate and am addicted! I was inspired by Ingrid's video to make a card for the CAS Mix Up April Challenge! I am just getting this in under the wire!

The card below was created using a stencil from Heidi Swapp. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. Thanks for stopping by!

Edited - After looking back at the challenge, I realized I had not included stamping on my card! Woops! I used one of my gel prints and stamped a Tim Holtz Crazy bird on top to add to the card!

Clean and Simple Sympathy Cards

I have had the Leaf Column Background and Outline dies from Simon Says Stamp in my stash for quite some time and finally pulled them out, so I thought it would be fun to share for the "New" theme Work it Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp. They are "new" to me and absolutely wonderful!
