Waterfront well wishes

This "Waterfront" set is another that I have been afraid to use even though I've seen so many wonderful cards made with it.   This set of  CASED cards was inspired by Debbie Henderson off of Pinterest.  I like how she kept the cards simple and it was a way for me to feel comfortable with the set.  I still need to do some playing around using different colours.

 

That's it for today.

Thanks for dropping by,

Get well wishes

 

I need to replenish my get well cards in my stash, so I decided to pick a couple stamp sets and get down to business.

This "Hand Delivered" set scared me a little; I'm not sure why.  I think it was the prospect of colouring the balloons.  I decided to use my Blends to do the job because I would be able to do some shading.

 

 

 

 

This final card was inspired by Tatiana Tobin in Australia - off of pinterest.   I loved how she paper pieced the balloons using the DSP from the new in-colours.  She made a whole set, I only made one.

Hope you are feeling well, 

Thanks for visiting,

Feel Well Butterflies

Yay! It's a sketch day at Sunday Stamps today - I love sketches - especially when I really don't have a whole lot of time to think - the sketch provides a perfect jumping off place and I love this fabulous design by Steph.  There's no end to what could be the focal point could be where the shapes are. 

I've decided to take a wee break from the Christmas theme and use some of the upcoming Sunshine and Sprinkles Designer Series Paper and one of the new Hearts a Fluter Framelits.  I'm pretty sure I'll be spending a good amount of time playing with my new toys once my school Christmas concert is over!

I hope you have fun with this challenge - we'd love to see what you come up with.  Here are a few things to keep in mind when you join us.

1)  Please provide a link back to us at Sunday Stamps in your post.

Feel Better Wishes

Happy Saturday!

Today's card is using a colour challenge from Create with Connie and Mary - I had the pieces started earlier this week - when the challenge came out - but haven't gotten it together until today.  June is such a busy time!

The colours are - Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler and Island Indigo.  I'm trying to play with some of my new stuff too!  I'm loving the Floral Frames Framelits.  The smudging was quite by accident, but I like how it turned out once I smudge the entire frame.

Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday.  Thanks for stopping by.

Get Well Stamps

Good Monday Morning - Just flying out the door to school but wanted to post this card I created yesterday in preparation for the March technique class.  This is not the technique of the month - just a case of a Christmas Card that I got from my fellow stamper, Amy Barry.  I've used the SAB Designer Series Paper and the matching Fresh Vintage stamp set, ribbon and brads.

Hope you have a marvellous start to your week.  Thanks for stopping by.

Get Well Flourishes

Thought I'd try clean and simple today.  This week's challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments is to use flourishes.  I've been wanting to use this stamp set for a while now - and when I looked at it I saw more than florishes - I saw flowers...sort of.  The get well wishes come from the SUO Challenges this week and the colours are today's Color Challenge over at SCS - Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and a neutral.

I could give this to my daughter today - she's suffering from a summer cold - she's a bit annoyed because she wasn't sick all winter.  Oh well - it's a drizzly day today, so perfect for hunkering down in the covers.

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you have a wonderful day!
