You're the best gnomie

I made this card for the Scrabook Steals Monday Card Madness sketch. I wanted the card to be simple and the stamps to shine. I had the hardest time NOT coloring this little lady in because she's SO FUN to color. A little rouge on the cheeks and she was ready for her spotlight.

Lovin' the Gnomie set from Sweet Stamp Shop.

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

Such a Sweet Sweet Day!!!

I'm so happy to announce that I'll be designing for the Sweet Stamp Shop! They have adorable stamps and they are superior quality. I'm grateful to Nicole for giving me a chance to shine.  Have a super sweet day and don't forget to check back for reveals of the upcoming August release from SSS next week.

This card was based on a sketch by the wonderful Kristy Lee at ScrapbookSteals.com

Here's the inside of the card too :)

 and
Aged Mahogany

Watercolor Hearts Make a Wish

I had such a fun time getting dirty while making this card. My fingers are all inked up and I found my lost heat gun!!!!

Punched a few hearts from watercolor paper and dragged them through some ink washes. I used Monday Card Madness Sketch #91 for starting off with.
Hope your holiday was great and that you keep having fun this week!

Sweet Stamp Shop Fun

I love this gumball machine image from the Sweet Stamp Shop. It's so fun to color!

I used Scrapbook Steals Monday Card Madness #88 sketch to get me going.

As an afterthought I added a few mini buttons to represent tiny gumballs ;)
Hope you're having a SWEET day!

Layered Pennants and Flowers

I used Stampin' Up's Array of Sunshine stamp set for this card and I'm loving how it came out.
Layered pennants and flowers and it's perfect.

Hope you all are having a super weekend! Made this card with Scrapbook Steals Monday Card Madness Sketch #86 in mind.

Poppy Parade

I'm in love with this image from Stamping Bella. She's so fun to color.

I colored her to coordinate with the Gathering line. Monday Card Madness sketch #85
Happy Memorial Day Weekend.

Shimmer Sheetz and Microfine Glitter

I made this card for the scrapbook steals MCM sketch #81. I colored the images using my prisma color pencils and odorless turnpentine to blend. The foil sheets were embossed with my cuttlebug and then rolled over with white paint.

I am loving my new microfine glitter that just makes the images shine when they're in your hands.

I wish the pictures did it justice...it really is pretty. Hope you're having a sweet day.

Delight in the little things MCM #80

I made this card for the Scrapbook Steals Monday Card Madness #80 sketch. I love these colors together

I spritzed some of my homemade paint spray onto some seam binding and tied it into a bow.

The stamp is from Studio G and I love the sentiment.

Homemade Washi Tape

Good morning! Just wanted to share with you a quick card I made using some homemade washi tape that I whipped up. I used double sided tape (the kind that has a top and a bottom to peel off) and trace paper. I stuck the trace paper to one side of the tape and then stamped it in various colors.

When I was ready to apply it to my paper I just pulled off the backing strip. I can see all kinds of possiblities with this method!!! If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll be sure to get back to you.
Have a super day!

This card was made using Scrapbook Steals Monday Card Madness sketch #53 as a starting point.
