Healing Hugs

New Stampin' Up! Healing Hugs set in Blushing Bride and Coral, Mint Macaron and Celery for the stamping.

Deeply In Love

A card for my wonderful husband using the new Lawn Fawn You Are Sublime set with matching dies. For the Lawn Fawnatics challenge this week of cards for guys, and also for the Simon Says Stamp weddings or anniversary, which is what I will use this for.

Hero Arts seashore die and bubbles embossing folder on Marina Mist card stock, inked edges, bordered with Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White. Helmet was done using clear Nuvo enamel drops for gloss and then added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

Jar of Penguins

For the Merry Monday Christmas challenge to use penguins and for today's "Baby, It's Cold Outside" challenge at SCS.
Homemade snow globe ornament using Lawn Fawn "Here We Go A-Waddling" penguin set with stitched hilltop dies and fake snow. The ornament jar was from Ben Franklin Craft store, filled with fake snow.

Manatee

For the Lawn Fawn Inspiration #29 challenge.

Lawn Fawn Bayou die cut in Navy for frame, Manatee-rific stamps with bubbles. Added white gel pen highlights for today's challenge and also some Nuvo enamel drops in two different shades of blue.

Air Blown Flower

For the Mixed Media challenge and the Free For All to use red and yellow.

Used Adirondack alcohol inks on glossy photo paper (Lettuce, Honeycomb, Poppyfields, Watermelon, Terra Cotta, Espresso) and "hello" die cut sentiment. Dropped inks onto paper and blew out to edges with a straw. Fun and easy. I swiped some more ink with a cotton pad to even things out a bit. Added some Sharpie black and brown dots to flower center.

           Another card for the Poppies for Memorial Day challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters.

In Monet's Garden

   Today's challenge at Splitcoaststampers was to incorporate a photo into your project.
I took this picture this past Friday at Monet's Gardens in Giverny, Normandie. I was so overwhelmed with the beauty of this place, the inspiration for so many of Claude Monet's paintings. Absolutely the trip of a lifetime and one I will never forget. The gardens in May were incredibly beautiful and so fragrant.
The picture blurred a little bit when I printed it out bit that was okay, the colors were so much like this in real life. Added a simple sentiment and a frame (Bayou border) by Lawn Fawn.

Memorial Day Remembrance

This is for Memorial Day weekend and the perfect time to honor the memory of all those who have served and to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This Pop Pop Poppy stamp is by Penny Black and I used Stampin' Up! markers of Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Garden Green for leaves, Poppy Parade, Real Red for flowers. Went over flowers with Arteza watercolor brush pens, I love these things! Highlighted around image with pale blue Copic and then ran through Big Shot with SU Wildflowers folder. Sprayed entire front with glimmer mist. Sentiment is popped up on dimensional tape and is by October Afternoon. Concord Crush, Poppy Parade, and Whisper White card stocks.
