Showers & Flowers

Here are 2 more cards, this time using the March Card Kit stamp set called Showers & Flowers.  Both of these were first stamped on watercolor paper, then colored with my Zig markers and water.

supplies: watercolor paper, Surf Blue and black card, Showers & Flowers image and sentiment, Thanks die, MFT Stitched Mini Scallop Square die, Zig markers and water

This wasn't colored as I planned.  I first colored all the flowers and leaves, and when I started to do the boots, I mistook the one laying down as a clay pot on its side, and started coloring it with a clay color.  THEN I realized it was the top of a boot, but by then I was committed, so the wellies are a very unusual color!

Next up is a card using a 2nd image from the same stamp set:

supplies: watercolor paper, Sunshine, Bright Yellow, and black card, Showers & Flowers image and sentiment, Stitched Rectangle die, Doodlebug heart sprinkle, Zig markers and water

Again I stamped the darling image on watercolor paper, colored it with Zig markers and water, trimmed it out with a stitched rectangle, then stamped the sentiment from the same set.  Then the panel was framed up with card that pulls the colors I used.

The images in this set are the perfect size to allow for adding sentiments or trimming into a smaller card, and the sentiments are fun too!

Hope your week is off to a great start!  

Simon Says...........Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!  Welcome to another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!

Our theme this week is Anything Goes, and we're playing with Newton's Nook goodies!  You don't have to use them to enter our challenge, but if you do have any of their products, we'd love to see what you make with them!

supplies: Bristol paper, white and Surf Blue cardstock, Newton's Nook Spring Showers clear stamp set, Zig markers and water to color, Signo white pen for dots, Die-Namics Peek-a-Boo Window die, adhesive foam squares

I thought this little duck and especially the sentiments in this set would be a useful to have.  This time I kept things pretty simple for my design, using a new window die also.

Now it's your turn - I can't wait to see what you create!  Heidi has provided another $50.00 gift voucher

Simon Says......Come Rain or Shine

Happy Wednesday!  It's time for another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday blog!

Our theme this week is "Come Rain or Shine".  My teamies and I are using Avery Elle products.  

supplies: white cardstock, vellum, Avery Elle Brights Collection paper pad, Stamping Bella Uptown Girl Lolly and Her Brolly, markers and tumbled glass distress ink with a finger dauber to color image and background, Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear sequins, retired sun image, orange button, Doodlebug Tangerine twine

Did you know that Avery Elle has paper pads?  They come in various color ways, each pad having 4 colors with 6 different patterns in each color!  I chose one that has some bright yellows in it for her rain gear, and paper-pieced her coat, boots, and umbrella with the heart pattern, then chose 2 other colors and patterns from the same pad to add some more color to my card.  Love the sentiment with this set, and her skinny legs crack me up!   This is my first time using a Stamping Bella product, and I'm hooked!

Now it's your turn - I can't wait to see what you create!  Heidi has provided another $50.00 gift voucher
