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!!!

Poppy Kindness

Hello, back again!  And the snow is coming down!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Penny Black, Favorite Stamp and Stamping Sensations, Animal Magic (which also includes birds and butterflies).

 

This has got to be the prettiest Poppy stamp ever!  It is by Penny Black, the Blooming Garden set.  I LOVE it!  I love to water color this image, it typically comes out perfect!  Designer Paper from my stash, I thought the black and white would make the beautiful poppies POP! 

 

 

I cut the Painted Kindness die by Simon Says Stamp from the base of my water color paper and proceeded to water color in shades of oranges and yellows.  Using the Memory Box die, Butterfly Exhibit, which was cut from black card stock, I just used the smaller solid butterfly cuts.  Beautiful little silhouettes flitting about.  The focus panel as been placed at a wonky angle.  And a little Sheer Ribbon to tie it all together.  I don't think it needs anything more, other than a good home to go to!

 

Thanks so much for poppy-ing in!

 

Enjoy~~
