Water Splats

It's a rainy rainy saturday so I fiddled with my card and this is what I came up with for the challenge at Papertrey's Make it Monday #161 It definitely was a fun trial. I wished I would have used something different in my little circle tag and I may change it at some point. It's ok. I used words stamps from PTI Text Boxed, PTI Scalloped Border die, TH Distress Inks and Gold embossing powder. Circle stamp and embossing folder by SU.

April 2014 Papertrey Blog Hop

Here's my entry for the challenge at Papertrey's April Blog Hop It's all about embroidery!! I used the middle picture of the inspiration photo. Love that little bird sitting on a nest of leaves singing her heart out.
And here's my take on it. I used the PTI Polka Dot Parade stamps for bird and music notes and leaves are from Strawberry Patch, trimmed down. Added a few french knots for the eye and inside the hearts. Paper from PTI Bitty Dot Basics.

Stamping with Watercolor

I'm back after missing lots of the challenges. Just couldn't get my mojo going! Anyway here's my card for the Capture the Moment Make it Monday #158 Heather just made it look so easy. This was my 3rd attempt and I'm not totally happy with the outcome. I used the Gelatos and PTI Feather Finery. I've got a wierd shadow going on on the right side?? not sure what that's all about. I think this will make a nice sympathy card.

Watercolored Backgrounds Make it Monday

This is my card for the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday challenge First time ever that I tried a watercolor project. Always like the look of them and have wanted to try it forever so here was my chance. I really like the effect of the embossing over the watercolor. I used PTI stamp sets Life and Butterfly Kisses. Sentiment stamp by SU(retired). A little colorful so I subdued it with the kraft and brown.
