Clouds

Hello! It's been a really busy few weeks for me. I have hardly had anytime to play along with my favorite challenges. So today while I finally had some time I made the most of it. This card is for the Cloud cue for CASology challenge. I die cut a couple of PTI clouds , ink blend some distress oxide ink , splashed a bit of water over the whole thing , a sentiment and some droplets finished it off. I am happy with the end result. I've been so unispired to create lately. It's been a real struggle to make anything. Thanks for stopping by today.

MIM #329

Hello! I'm stopping in with a last minute entry for MIM . I pulled out an older stamp (Rosey Posey) , I forgot how great this one is. I opted for a more subtle background color (soft stone) so my flowers would stand out more. This was a great technique, I ended up diecutting the background die from a piece of acetate so I could do this again in the future. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! From wherever I might be... I'm on vacation this week. We are flying by the seat of our pants this year. So as of (when I wrote this ) today we have no plan , just getting in the car and driving. I'm betting that we will see a lighthouse or two . So here is this week's color challenge card..... love these colors together! Why? because they are great for flowers, and you know I love to make flowers. I can't wait to be inspired by your creations. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm back with a fun sketch challenge for CAS Colours and Sketches. When I saw this sketch I thought about doing a watermelon slice right away. I mad another watermelon card (you can find it on Instagram) to practice, couldn't have a goofy looking watermelon for the challenge. I am still in a summer mode with my cards this week. I really should start thinking fall soon... but just not ready yet. I can't wait to be inspired by all that play along with us. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! For those of you in the states happy ....that darn racket is almost over day. Not sure where everyone is located , but I'm just outside of Chicago in NW Indiana ( on the map where Indiana and Illinois meet closest to the lake) and fireworks are legal here (insert frowny face) and every night it sounds like a war zone outside. So I'm so looking forward to the 4th being over. I've been holed up in the basement with my little dog , she's shivering under the furnace and I've been crafting. I've been obsessed with this die from SSS lately . It really works will with this week's colors , don't you agree? I'm excited to be inspired by what everyone creates . Thanks for stopping by.

The Holly and the Ivy #32

Hello! I'm re-visiting an old card idea I used some years ago . I changed up the colors, but the basic layout is the same. Do you ever do that? Sometimes I like a layout so much I'll create several cards in various colors . I have lots of friends that enjoy religous cards at Christmas time so I always try to make a few of those too. Thanks for taking time to stop by today.

Hello! I'm stopping in with a quick share for this week's sketch challenge at CC&S. I am really really last minute with this card and I threw it together with some scraps I had laying on my table .... no joke! I've been in a bit of a mojo slump the last few weeks.Hopefully it reappears soon! Maybe checking out what cute cards everyone else made will help. Off to do just that, thanks for stopping by.
