Sending Hugs

 

 Hello dear friends and Happy Tuesday!

As many of you know, I recently celebrated a birthday and I was SO THRILLED to receive so many beautiful home made cards from my so very talented crafty friends!  In one of those cards was this beautiful vellum embossed panel (not going to say who but YOU know WHO YOU are! lol)

I immediately had to take this panel, flip it over and color on the backside of it to create this card.  I used Tombow markers for my coloring. 

My sentiment is from the Pink Fresh 'Perfect Sentiments' stamp & die. 

 

 

Since this was an A2 panel and I make A6 cards, I simply took my deep purple Tombow marker and created a border out around the panel. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and sharing in my excitement!

As always . . .

 

Inspiration Station Challenge

 

  Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

Today I have a card to share for the new challenge over on the Inspiration Station!

Here is today's Inspiration Photo  ...

 

Please remember, to be eligible for the Prize, you will need to *Let us know on your blog or Social Media Post how the Photo Inspired You*.

 

  Today, I was inspired by the picnic blanket.
So I set forth to duplicate it using finger sponge daubers and TH distress oxide inks.  Then I looked through my dies and found this cute basket die from the Jeanine's Art 'Spring Basket' (JAD10116) die set.  Then from a scrap of white card stock, I die cut a sprig of 'Dill' (ScrapMan  FL-18) and colored it using a Tombow marker and added gold Nuvo drops.

 The doily edge was created using a VERY OLD Martha Stewart edge punch and the sentiment is from Pink Fresh. 

I do hope you will pop over to Inspiration Station!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and sharing in my excitement!

Hello Friends and welcome back to my blog! 
SO happy you stopped by!

Today I have a card to share for the new challenge over on the PEACE ON EARTH CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG.  Of course the theme is Anything Christmas and we hope you'll come join in the fun! 

Here's a fun inspiration board we've created to help get you started ...

 Today I was inspired by the image in the lower right corner. 

I just love these images of old trucks with the holiday Christmas tree in the back.  Takes me back to my childhood when we used to go on our back property and cut down one of our pines and bring it home to decorate for Christmas.

 I've used a scrap of holiday plaid paper for my background the using another scrap die cut corner embellishments of black/white gingham.  My focus image is an old Cheery Lynn Designs 'Bringing Home Christmas' die which I've popped up on a white panel die cut using a Tutti Designs Oval die.
