Classic Colors

 Hello, Hello!

A friend of mine requested sympathy cards, so I pulled out some oldies but goodies.  


 The background was embossed with a Tim Holtz 3D embossing folder that I had inked up with Altenew Cloudy Sky Ink.  I then spritzed it with water to get the speckled look.  

Once the panel was dry, I used a Delicata Gold Glitz Pigment Ink and lightly passed it over the raised areas of the embossing.  I cut the panel to size and backed it with some yellow cs.  

The flower was all die cut from white cs using Altenew's Peony Dream 3D Die Set.  I used some distress ink in Scattered Straw and Fossilized Amber to add a bit of color to the flower.  Everything was assembled including a small sentiment strip.  Last but not least, some SSS Moonshine Sequins were added.

Pretty in Pink

Hello All! 

 Flowers, flowers and more flowers.  Today I pulled out my Delightful Daisies from SnSS.  They were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.  


The flowers were fussy cut out.  

I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday


I had this pretty scrap of patterned paper in my stash that looks like wood panels.  I used that as my main panel which I adhered my daisies to.  I had a couple of white leaf die cuts laying on my desk, so I added them as well. 


 The card front needed something, so I added texture with a caard front die from Sizzix (retired).  The sentiment is SnSS.  A few sequins were added for sparkle. 

I am linking up to these additional challenges~

Holy Guacamole!

 Hello Friends! 

Cinco de Mayo goes hand in hand with guacamole and it is right around the corner.  Personally, I love avocado and could eat it daily.  

I love this fun Avocado Die from Impression Obsession and it is perfect for this time of year~ 


I die cut the fruit from Bristol cs and sponged on  Distress inks in Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Crushed Olive.  The pit is colored with Gathered Twigs and Brushed Corduroy Distress Inks.  Lastly I stamped its face on using IO Stamps Sending Smiles Stamp Set and Versafine Claire Nocturne Ink.  

I found the perfect green patterned paper for the long strip along the side.  The panel for the avocado is stamped with the Starburst Background Stamp from IO Stamps.  

To finish it off I added a sentiment from the Avocado Sayings Stamp Set and a few enamel dots.  

I used the sketch from Try Stamping on Tuesday~  


I also played along at Festive Friday~ I used Green, Enamel Dots and Avocado


My colors are from Color Dare~ Black, Brown and 1 other color~


Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your spring weekend!
