Welcome Spring...

Hello, hello!

The little windows of space that make up the Postage Collage mini slimline die from Waffle Flower gave me the perfect opportunity to put some of the cute mini images from Purple Onion Designs in the spotlight. Stamps like the Garden Bugs set, May, the garden bird and Iris, the cute little running mouse. Each one gets to shine in their own vignette of Spring cheer and happiness, especially once I added the Flora and Fauna set flowers, Wildflowers, tall flowers and the clouds from the Fairgrounds Background to help set the each scene. I added the Welcome Spring sentiment from the Sweet Occasions Sentiment set to the middle panel to finish up this adorable card full wee garden cuties.  :)

Toodles!

HBD2U...

Good morning!

I've been so busy wrapping up design work for the upcoming MerMay release at Sweet November that I haven't had as much time for card making. So, I was searching through my hard drive to find a card that I hadn't shared here yet and look who I found... little Paisley! I can't believe that I made this card during her release last summer and never got around to sharing her here on the ol' blog. It's a clean and simple design with the confetti stencil in the background and I concentrated most of my efforts into the no-line coloring of Paisley herself. The pinks and purples make for a pretty little birthday card. :)

Later gators!


Supply list:
cardstock- Papertrey Ink and Copic X-Press It

stamps- Sweet November (
Paisley)

ink- Memento desert sand and Papertrey Ink purple

Papertrey Ink scalloped rectangle die

Sharpie extra fine white pen

My Favorite Things confetti stencil

sorry, I didn't keep a list

Rain or shine...

Olo!

During the SN review yesterday I ended up coloring cute little Raina for my Saturday Live over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. I think I was inspired by the storm outside because I chose to show how you can transform the Day at the Park Background Builder set into a rainy day scene. I'm so pleased with how this fresh spin on an old coloring technique turned out and I will definitely be playing around with it some more on future cards.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!
