Corgi Beach

 A mix of various stamp companies for this one. The Corgi Beach is by Newton's Nook, the palm tree die is by Lawn Fawn, the Tiki Time set is from Sunny Studio. Made the background with distress oxide inks of Salty Ocean, Broken China, and Salvaged Patina, Tea Dye for the sand, added lots of speckled dots.

Druid's Inn

I really love this image from Lavinia Stamps called "Druid's Inn". It reminded me of the Hobbits.

Brushos colour crystals on Yupo paper, with some vines (Better Places by SU), Forever Fern in Regal Rose and Perfect Plum, and a stencil by Simon Says Stamp.

 

Hula There!

Creating a scene for Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge using Sunny Studio Stamps Tiki Time and the Lawn Fawn frame die. So ready to get back to Hawaii!

 

A little more rainbow!

 A trio of cards with the new June SSS kit, so happy!

Rainbow Happy

Colorful rainbows always make me happy! So pretty and cheery. Working with the new June Simon Says Stamp card kit on a slimline card.

 

Catalog Inspired

 I had a nice quiet afternoon while the boys were out fishing. It was lovely to dive into some new goodies from the Stampin' Up! catalog, using the Artistically Inked and Pansy suite collections. I basically just cased and amended some of the samples in the catalog since I just wanted to stamp and not try to re-invent the wheel with new ideas. Lovely to just assemble some cards and listen to some John Prine. Life is good.

Monochromatic

I am starting to get back into challenges on a daily basis, it really helps me to focus which has been a bit difficult this past year. 

This prompt was from the Global Design Project, case the designer Susan Wong. I went with a monochromatic theme like her pretty hydrangea card that was all in blues.

Loving the Pansy collection from the new Stampin' Up! catalog. I used some retired Petal Pink/Whisper White ribbon that seemed to go with it nicely.
