Heartfelt Sympathy

Hi there! Hope you are having super awesome week! Today I have a special order from my MOPS leader for one of our fellow ladies.

I had some left over Altenew flowers from a previous project. I die cut the circle then stamped in light violet. Flowers and circle are adhered using 3D foam. To finish this, I added a few pears in white and violet. Some sequins brightened things up.

I hope the ladies like it. I sure did :)

I am entering this card to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Flowers

Painted Flowers

Hi. Today I have an entry for Altenew Video Challenge #6. I pre-cut a lot of the painted flowers then stamped them. The leaves were colored with markers. I adhered the flowers with 3D foam and finished them off with droplets from Pretty Pink Posh.

Wood grain Card

Hi! Today, I have a masculine and simple card made for our good friend who currently is sick. I wanted to keep this simple and elegant.

The sentiments of course are from Simon Says Stamp, coordinated with some Kraft paper and gold sequins. Some pretty pink posh droplets added contrast to the card. 

I am entering this card to the following challenges:

The coolest pop!

Hi there! I am here with one of Joy Clair's new May stamp set called Dad's Day.

This is such a funny and witty set. I wanted to make something simple.

First I stamped the images onto watercolor paper with Archival black ink. Then watercolored. When that was dry, I used a white pen to add some highlighting. The sentiment was stamped with archival black ink as well.

This was such a simple card to make, and it super easy.
