Thank you for Sunday Stamps

Hey there,

 

Happy Monday.  I hope your weekend was wonderful and relaxing.  We had only a few things scheduled this weekend, with three busy boys, that is a relaxing weekend.  lol

 

I did carve out some time to create a little using the sketch challenge SSC172 over at Sunday Stamps.  I loved this sketch that they have for us.

 

 

 

I found some super cute DSP that gave me the colour inspiration and set the tone the rest of items on my card.  Here it is...

 

 

 The DSP is perfect to pair up with this little bee from the Dragonfly Dreams Stampset.  I stamped it on Very Vanilla and then cut it out using the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits.

I popped him up on on dimensionals and onto a stitched Shapes Circle.  My greeting is from Thoughtful Banners and stamped on a little scrap of Very Vanilla.  What do you do with all of those tiny 1/2 inch strips left over?  I like to use them for my greetings.  

 

I almost always add a bow to my card, but this time I let this cute little bee, be the star.

 

Be sure to stop on over to Sunday Stamps to see all of the cards created with this sketch as inspiration.

 

Happy Stampin'

Bumble Bee Beauty

Hey there my stampin' friends,

I have a really cute card to show you all today. Using the cutest little bumble bee from the stampset Dragonfly Dreams.  I just LOVE this little bee! 

I stamped him on watercolour paper and coloured him with stampin' write markers and wink of stella pen on his wings and body.

I then cut him out using my largest oval stitched thinlits.  Once I had it cut out, I placed the oval under my clear block and curved the phrase to match the outline of the oval.  I pressed firmly to make sure it stayed and then inked it up!  Voila!  a curved sentiment!

I also used the Hexagon Dynamic Embossing folder on this card to give it some extra dimension. 

Here are the other cards I created for my  Dragonfly Dreams card class!

  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  

Happy Stamin'

Dragonfly Watercolouring

Welcome!  So glad you stopped by!

I have a very feminine card to share with you today.  One that I created for my recent Dragonfly Dreams focused card class.  

I knew I wanted to use the die from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits with all those little dragonflies.  I also knew I wanted some watercolouring.  Here is the card that I created with that in mind...

I watercoloured using some really nice soft colours starting with Pink Pirouette, Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Old Olive and Sweet Sugarplum onto watercolour paper.  Once it was dry, I ran it through my BigShot to cut out the little dragonflies.

I really love how this card turned out.  Perfect for one of my besties!

Happy Stampin'
