Good Morning! 

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog. 

Here is your Inspiration Tile:

Here is my card:

I absolutely adore all of the Teal and Pink colors and those beautiful roses!

My stamps are by Gina K Designs, Bitty Blossoms and Flourishes, Roses Are Red.

Stamped in Amalgam Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.

I also added a bit of accent using a Sakura Glitter Pen.

My background texture was created using a Basket Weave Embossing Folder 

and then I sponged Dove Gray ink all over it.

Sheer Ribbon.

Adhesive Pearls colored with Copic Markers.

Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!

Kindness, Just Because

Good Morning!

I'm going to say that Spring has arrived here on Cape Cod....hope I just didn't jinx myself!

The air is warmer and things seem to be greening up a bit.

YAY!

This first card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Simon Says Monday, Beautiful Blooms.

Simon Says Work It Wednesday, Spring Flowers.

Stamping Sensations, April Showers Bring May Flowers.

Power Poppy, On The Grid.

Allsorts, Blossoms, Butterflies, Bugs.
Penny Black, Springtime.

I used the Everything's Even Rosier stamp set by Power Poppy.   

Stamped in Amalgam Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.  

Then I sliced the image up into 1" squares.  But, first I added a sheet of double sided adhesive to the back of the image.  Made it so much easier than using my large ATG Adhesive Gun.

Placed all the images onto a piece of pretty Blue card stock and then swiped my Versa Mark Ink pad all over, doused with Clear Embossing Powder and then heat set it.  

This shines so much, looks like little pretty tiles!

Of course, nearly impossible to capture in a photo.

Added a sentiment stamped in Island Indigo ink and heat embossed with Clear Powder.

My next card will be entered into the 

Challenge at Gina K Designs, Ombre Ink Blending.

This was a very simple and quick card to make.  

Using the Gina K Designs Bitty Blossoms stamp set, I stamped my floral image 

using Versa Mark ink and White Embossing Powder which I then heat set.

Using inks in;  So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, 

and Calypso Coral I created my ombre background.

I die cut my sentiment using the Simon Says Kindness die, 

which I also used my inks on to make the ombre effect.

Added some 'dew drops' using Nuvo Drops in Crystal Clear.

Quick and easy.  No added postage. lol

Thanks for stopping by.

HAPPY SPRING!!!
