Cheerful Columbine

Good Morning!

Happy Memorial Day!  Don't forget to thank a Vet!

This card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Power Poppy, Roll The Dice.
Simon Says Monday, Frame It.

I rolled #3, Revisit An Old Challenge.  I chose the April 16, 2019 Challenge, THINK SPRING!

Last week I had a few hours on my hands, a rare occurrence these days, so I just colored.  

What FUN!!!

I also won the Challenge at Power Poppy last month so I bought a couple of

 new stamp sets, this one, Cheerful Columbine and Party Time.  

Both are lovely!

I stamped the beautiful and large image and sentiment on to a piece of card stock that was die cut using the MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangles die in Amalgam Black ink.  

This die frames out the images perfectly! 

Then I spent some time coloring this magnificent image with Copic Markers.

Using Foam Dots I added some dimension on a couple of the flowers and that pretty little bird.  

Each were stamped, colored and fussy cut out.  

Then I added a few touches of a Sakura Glitter Pen to the flower centers.

This image just cries SPRING to me!  

My Columbines are just coming in to bud now, seems like Winter took forever to end!

I adore this little birdie!

Thanks for popping by!

Flowers And Butterflies

Good afternoon!  

The sun has actually made an appearance....twice today lol  

This has been one of the wettest and dreariest Springs I can recall.  And a bit chilly too!  

I suppose summer will appear like *snap*  

Hope we'll be ready for it!

I have 3 cards to share with you today!

This first one will be entered into the following Challenges;

Paper Smooches, May Flowers.

Amalgam Black ink.

Gina K Designs, Birds And Blossoms stamp set.

Sentiment by Hero Arts, Everyday Sayings.

This card will be entered into the Challenge at Gina K Designs, Things With Wings.

I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets;  A Year Of Borders and Take Flight.

Stamped in Amalgam Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.

The front of the card is nothing special, just pretty little butterflies.......

BUT the inside.......POPS.......literally!

Using the Dies R Us Butterfly #2 set, I cut 7 butterflies in rainbow color.

Using Gina's Connect Glue, I adhered them all together in the rainbow order:  ROY G. BIV.

That Glue is AHmazing!!!

I also stamped a large butterfly and my sentiment.

It just POPS!  

And still folds flat for mailing.....pretty cool, huh??

My last card will be entered into the Impression Obsession Challenge, Blue and Yellow.

I used the Impression Obsession stamp and die sets; Hanging Basket.

I stamped the hanging basket in Amalgam Black ink.

Then just kept adding stamped flowers and foliage in all shades of blues and yellows.

Inks in; Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Pacific Point, Pool Party and So Saffron.

I then die cut the hanging basket and placed it over my stamped one.

Stamped 3 of the larger flowers and fussy cut them out adding some foam for dimension.

Adhesive Pearl for the hanger, colored with a Copic Marker.

Stamped my sentiment and a few falling leaves.

Inside another little flower and leaves.

Layered my white panel on to blue, yellow and another white piece of card stock, 

then adhered to my base.

As I was playing with flowers and butterflies I had a little visitor....not sure if he should be out and about during the daylight hours.....and he definitely should not be heading under my deck.  YIKES!

Shouldn't he be playing 'possum' ?!?!
