Merry Ornament

I enjoyed yesterday's sketch from Merry Monday - I'm just not sure how I feel with my end product....I think I should have left the pearls off of the framelit.....hmmmm.

Anyway - I used some of the Gumball Green Core'dinations cardstock that I had left over....and I really need to use up some of the Pool Party that I have so I don't get left with too much on my hands.  Just one of those things that I order because I'm excited to use it and then I forget about it.  Duh!

The piece of DSP is from the Print Poetry series - it works perfectly with the Window Frames Framelits Collection.

It's an exciting day - we get to register for convention today - I'll be teaching when it opens up - so I'll have to wait until I get home.....but.....  Woo Hooo!  It's going to be FANTASTIC!

It's Tuesday so there are some new MDS Downloads today....

RockinRoll Seasons

It's such a sunshiny day today, that I just had to use bright colours for today's creation.  

I've started with the sketch from The Paper Players - and since the central focus was circular, I decided to try out the new "Four Seasons" set - it's one of the Hostess sets that will become available in 5 days!

I've used the Rock and Roll technique for both the scallop image and the little flowers .  The little bird is punched out and popped up.  The colours I've used are:  Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade and Tangerine Tango.  The tiny tag is tied on with Lucky Limeade Baker's Twine.

Hope you're having a super Sunday!  Thanks for visiting.

Merry Chickadee

 I finally got around to using this wonderful little chickadee - they're my favorite little bird.  The leaves and berries have been coloured with Frost White Shimmer Paint with a bit of re-inker added.  That way they  shimmer nicely on the card.  I applied the paint with an old blender pen that had lost its "stuff".   An Old Olive marker was used to colour the shading of the leaves.  I also used the shimmer mixture to distress the edge of the oval.

I really should have thought out what paper I was going to use for the rest of the card before I coloured the image though - the image uses Old Olive and the DSP and mat are Garden Green.  But that's okay - the Challenge over at The Paper Players this week is to use traditional red and green colours for a Christmas card - and both greens work.  Stampin' Royalty has provided the sketch for this card.  I have adjusted it a bit because my image was so large and I used 3 little Merry tags on the side.

This is the anniversary card my daughter made for my husband to give to me.  It wasn't what she had had in mind because she couldn't find the stamp set she wanted to use - that threw her for a bit of a loop  (It would throw me for a while too) - but I love what she's come up with.  She didn't realize until later that she put the world on upside down - I said her dad turns my world upside down anyway - so it's all good.   My gift from him was a trip to anywhere in the world I want to go - so the card is fitting!

Hope something turns your world upside down in a good way today - Thanks for stopping by! Joan
