TULIPS

This should be a card for spring; but just acquired another LaBlanche stamp and had to try it out.

The image was colored with distress inks, as well as the background. For some reason, the tulips look pink-ish here, but I used fired brick distress ink, so they really look more red in real life!   I added a flourish (Stampington & Co.) here and there and the word stamp is from Impression Obsession. 

Haven't had time to participate in any challenges this week; time gets away from me!  I do love seeing what all of you talented gals out there create for the various challenge blogs, so keep up the inspiration!!

Thanks for visiting. 

FOOD AND DRINK CHALLENGE

Here is my card for Simon Says this week:

Pretty much self-explanatory - paper pieced and colored with colored pencils, cut with Spellbinders and layered to a doily and Basic Grey Hello Luscious paper.  The cupcake is from Impression Obsession and the sentiment is from A Muse.  A bit of Stickles glitter glue was added here to the frosting and bow and around the scallops of the die.

Sunny, warm and beautiful here in Ohio today!  Perfect weather for late summer.  Thanks for stopping by!

NEW BLOG!

I've been thinking about starting another blog for awhile to have a place for cards, card swaps, card challenges - well just anything pertaining to cards and preferably rubber stamped ones!

Here is a happy little bird from Hero Arts.  I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils, added some crystals for sparkle and cut into a scalloped circle which I mounted on a plain circle.  The background of the card is a cover-a-card design from Impression Obsession.  Sentiment is an old one from Hero Arts as are the tiny borders in the corners.

Am hoping to meet some new (and old) friends here at Morning Glory Card Studio!  I am still a novice at this computer stuff, so bear with me:)))

Happy stamping!
