Lots of Fun ........

Happy , happy Monday !!! 
I am soo excited it is almost time 
for summer vacation for my boys (and for me ,lol ) !!! 
The last day of school for them is this Thursday , 
it is going to be a super busy week !! 

I am happy to have had a chance to finish these cards I 
had on my desk . I need to clean my craft room , according to me 
I am trying to get the half started cards done ,lol ! 

The first card I am sharing is another one for the 
My Favorite Things Color and Sketch Challenges . 

 This is the color inspiration photo : 

 I tried to keep this card CAS .
 I colored up quite a few images , some of the fishes from the Soak Up the Fun stamp set , the bear swimming , I wasn't sure which ones I would be using . 

I liked the bear and the trees from the MFT Forest Friends Stamp set .  
I wanted to use the fish images , 
I decided to create my own design along the bottom half of the card . 
I stamped them using Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. 

For my second card , I could not wait to share this card with you . 
This one is using the Sweet Stamp Shop May 2017 Release . 
The stamp set is called Spacin' Out . 
 I stamped my images onto Bristol Cardstock , and stamped the images using Ranger Archival black ink . I knew I would be watercoloring these in . 
 I used my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers ( I really LOVE them ) . 
 I then added Distress Inks to the background around the images . 
 One of my favorite parts adding the splatters of white and black to give it the look 
of stars . 

 For the third card I am sharing , I used the new CDD 
Sweet As Honey stamp set . 

 I stamped the image onto kraft cardstock that had been die cut using the Fancy Frames dies set . 
 I colored in the image using Copic markers , 
then added a bit of Prisma color pencils to certain areas . 

 I used the die cut word Many from the Wishful Thought set . 
Added a bit of yellow to bring out the yellow from the honey bee <3 . 


 Thank you soo much for stopping by !! 
Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day !!

Lawn Fawn .. I Pine For You ...

Hello everyone !!! 
I am sharing these fun 
cards I created today <3 . 

I used several cute stamp sets 
from Lawn Fawn . 

 I love combining different sets to go with the theme I am going for . 
As you can see ,lol I was going for a "camping theme " . 
 I used the adorable Starry Skies die to create the backgrounds . 

I was inspired by the 
Inspiration Board : 

I knew I would be using the colors as my inspiration .  
I ended up creating two separate cards using different
 variations of the colors from the inspiration board . 

 I used my Copics to color these cuties in






Thank you soo much for taking the time to stop by !! 
Wshing you a Blessed and Wonderful day <3 .

Happy Birthday with Altenew and MFT ......

Hello and Happy Thursday everyone <3 . 
Wow ... June already !! 
This year sure is flying by !! 

I am so happy to have had the time to do 
a bit more crafting . I am excited to get 
started on the sneak peek projects 
for the CDD and Sweet Stamp Shop 
June releases !!! 

I have a couple of cards to share with you today . 
For the first project , I created a birthday 
card for one of the sweetest ladies I have had 
the blessing to meet . 

I used the gorgeous Beautiful Day stamp set 
from Altenew . Super big thank you to them !! 
This is one of the awesome sets I was 
able to get with the gift code from being picked as one 
of the winners for April's challenge <3. 

I was inspired by the June Inspiration Challenge 
from Altenew . I love the colors .

I stamped and did a bit of masking to get the design on each card . 
I was not planning on making three , lol. 

 I wanted to try different combinations using the markers .
 For this one I kept it a bit softer by not adding as many layers . 


This is the one I started with . 
The center flower ended up being a bit darker than the look I was going for . 
That is why I ended up creating the other two . 

I am really LOVING the Zig brushes and the Winsor & Newton ones . 
I did not realize what I was missing !! 

For the next card I created to share with you today 
I was inspired by the current 
Color Challenge : 
and the current Sketch Challenge . 

I used this cute set from My Favorite Things 

 I knew this color combination would be great for this set . 
 I colored my images in using Copic markers . 
The hardest part was deciding what would be what color , lol !! 
 I wanted to create an underwater scene . I used Tim Holtz watercolor paper .
 I then added Distress Ink in the color Tumbled Glass . 


This one was so much fun to create ... I had not created a shaker card in a while !!! 

I hope you enjoy these cards and feel inspired to create !! 
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by ! 
Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day !
