Birthday Daisies

Sharing a card I just love!

These MME papers go so beautifully together for this sketch.

I combined two challenges, one to use patterned papers and 

another to use a sketch and came up with this cutie.

I stamped the flowers on 3 different papers from the pad 

and glued them on top of the full stamped image.

I added a bit of shiny paint to accent the center of the flowers.

Here's the sketch from The Craft's Meow:

Red, white and blue thank you card

Created this "Thank You" card with a couple challenges in mind.

The red, white and blue color scheme is inspired by Paper and Such's current challenge

and the design was inspired by the Craft's Meow July Sketch.
This is my third entry for this sketch challenge.  It is such a great sketch!

The flowers were carefully paper pieced. 

I kept the leaves white to follow the color scheme and allow the flowers to shine. 

Craft's Meow July Sketch:

Stamps: "Wild Rose" by Paper and Such

Ink: black Memento

Papers: Basic Grey "Oliver"

Other: Spellbinders Lacey Circles, WRMK floss, gems

SSS and P&S: thank you with birds

Sharing a thank you card I made that was inspired by the current 

Simon Says Stamp inspirational photo.

I liked the lemonade stand. 
I choose the colors of the banner for my birds.

My background paper is from the Echo Park "Little Boy" collection.

The bird stamps from Paper and Such were paper pieced on Bazzill cardstock.

The "Thank You is from Paper and Such "Wild Roses" set. 

I felt the card was pretty blah until I added the washi tape at the top.
Pulled it all together! yeah!

Touch of Glossy Accents on the birds for some pizazz 

as well as a dot of shiny black on the eyes.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Paper and Such: Feathered Friends

Simon Says Stamp: Summer/ Inspirational Photo.

Get Well Card

Made a little get well card today.

Features MME "On the Bright Side One" 6x6 pad

The banner is handmade.  

The idea came from Jennifer McGuire's blog a while back.

I scored the ends and folded them.  Then I hand cut the ends.

ker-SPLAT: gift bags

After reading through a couple of challenges, 

I decided to take on a couple as well as try TWO new things!

This is the first time I have used washi tape (LOVE IT!!) 

as well as my first time attempting a splatter.

I don't have any mists, so I took a little Making Memories paint and 

stirred in a generous amount of water and then went OUTSIDE!

I practiced the splatter on some paper and then flicked away at the bags.

I am really happy with the results.  Really fun to try a new technique.

I stamped the daisy image, and then paper pieced and popped them.

These will be gift bags for my boys' main teachers. 
I think they will pick out plants to put in them.

These have a mix of yellow and orange Stickles in the centers of the flowers: 

This one was made in the elementary school colors:

I added shiny fabric paint to the centers:

I am submitting this project into the following challenges:

Moxie Fab World: Splatter!

Paper and Such: May flowers

Supplies:

Stamps: Daisies by Paper and Such, "thank you" by Lawn Fawn

Ink: Memento

Others: MM paint, Prismacolor pencils, washi by K& CO and Bella Blvd

Sharing a card I made for Mother's Day.

It features a daisy stamp set by Paper and Such.

The cute polka dot paper and "barn" paper is

from the MME "On Bright Side One" collection I picked up at Paper and Such.  

This pad has two patterns I am lovin' right now, tiny chevrons and tiny polka dots.

I stamped and fussy cut the daisies, 

added some Martha flocking powder to the center and adhered them with pop dots.

I colored the leaves and stems with my Prismacolor pencils.
