Rainbow butterfly

Hello! I'm stopping by with this fun rainbow butterfly to share for the CAS Watercolor challenge. Their theme for May is "Rainbow". I made 2 butterfly cards (I'll share the other tomorrow) , both slightly different. For this card I used a large butterfly die from PTI and colored it with some Zig markers ,spritzed with water and let the water do it's thing. I added a light wash of blue behind the butterfly , so it looks like it's in the sky. Thanks for stopping by today.

Stencil it

Hello! I'm sharing this simple card I made for the Stencil it challenge at SSS Monday challenge. I used the Ledger Drops stencil for this background and a simple sentiment. I felt the background was busy enough and this card didn't really need alot of embellishments. Thanks for stopping by today

Color Throwdown #493

Hello! I'm back with another card to card today( there will be a few more to come) . I've been very busy creating today. For once I have no where to go, nothing to clean, no kids school project to help with, just ME time! I loved this week's inspiration photo at Color Throwdown. Being a water sign I'm drawn to everything coastal.. colors, lighthouses, boats... I love it all. I'm low on Thank yous right now so I went that route with these colors. Thanks for stopping by today.

My best seller

Hello! I found a wonderful new challenge to play along with...Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers...doesn't the name alone crack you up? I thought I'd play along with their challenge " I is for Inky" ...I used ink on this and it's pretty snarky. I sell some of my cards to friends and co-workers and this is my best seller. I'm sure you understand why. Thanks for stopping in today, hope to be back soon.

Hello! Dropping by to share a card I made for my Mom for Mother's day. I've been too busy to share much lately... those boys and they're track meets. Happily the end of the school year is upon us, so I should be able to play along more. Today I'm playing along Addicted to CAS, challenge #136 MOM and Addicted to stamps and more  #292 Make your mark. I like to create cards I can mass produce if need be, so in recent years I've become alot more CAS. Thanks for stopping by today, hope to be soon.

Peace

Greetings! I'm back with a fun card to share for the Holly and the Ivy Christmas card challenge. Do you plan ahead for the Holidays? I really try to, but as a working mom of 2 very busy teenage boys it's really hard. One of the things I do try to keep up with all year is my Christmas cards, by making a couple( I make 2 of everything I make) a month it's not such a huge task come November. I usually will have a couple extra that my coworkers will purchase from me (cheap, because I just use the money to buy more stamps). I used the Be Merry sentiments and Holiday houses from Wplus 9, watercolored then fussy cut them out. Thanks for stopping in today.

CC&S #272

Hello! I'm back with another card to share for the CC&S color challenge. This weeks colors were a bit of a challenge for me at first, plenty of attempts in the trash. I used the Hello Lovely stamp from Concord & 9th and my Zig markers. I like to add a very light grey around my image and blend it out slightly to make it pop. I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with. It's interesting to see how different people use color combinations. I tend to lean towards colors I can use for florals. Be back soon.
