A Little Purple and Green

Hello!

I have a confession to make- I am not a fan of purple.  I do not mean to offend all of you purple fans, it is just not for me.  Some things, however, require purple.  Take these blackberries; this is another NBUS that I pulled out to finally use.  It is a Serendipity image that deserved to be inked up!

A friend just had surgery and this seemed the perfect card for her.  Get Well Soon is stamped inside.

As luck would have it, this week Curtain Call has an inspiration photo with purple in it.   The purple  has quite a bit of red in it.  While it is hard to see, I have dotted RV 13 in my berries-a perfect match for the Curtain Call color.  I also have borrowed the green and yellow from the inspiration photo.

I borrowed the sketch from Jen at Deconstructing Jen~

...and I am linking up at the 'Thinking of You' Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed week!

Watercolor Teddy

Hello Everyone!


Given all of the babies that are on the way where I work, I decided to add another baby card to my stash.  I used this darling image from Serendipity Stamps and watercolored him with reinkers.

Serendipity's challenge this month is to use buttons, so I strung several Stampin' Up buttons on some linen thread.

Thanks so much for visiting and have a blessed week!

A Look Back in Time

Hello Friends!
Today I thought I would take a look back at one of the first cards I made last January for SCS Dirty Dozen.

 I found this wonderful stamp from Serendipity Stamps.  The theme for the month was "Dirty Laundry" so this stamp was perfect! 

The dresses were stamped in Stazon Brown and  watercolored with reinkers and an aquabrush.  I wanted a vintage look, so added a little brown to all of the colors. The image is backed with a piece of Naturals Ivory paper, then onto a piece of Whisper White that was scored all around with the Simply Scored Tool (SU).  The card base is Crumb Cake.  Some wonderful ivory lace and a Very Vanilla seam binding bow (SU) highlight the sentiment, which was fussy cut out and adhered to the card with dimensionals.  A Stampin' Up Vintage brad in the center of the bow finishes off the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day!
