Weird is Just a Side Effect of Being Awesome

Its been so long!!!  Summertime, camping, racing, visitors from out of town!!  It's been a good one :)

Anyway, sharing this card I made for my daughter yesterday.  Not for any reason other than she loves owls!!  Her friends tell her she looks like an owl - not sure I see that, but whatever!!!

I used these two stamps from Unity Stamp Company's November 2015 Kit of the Month.  I got to try out my new Misti Stamping Tool - LOVED it!!

I tried a new technique - edging the stamped panel with glossy accents and applying Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter.

I absolutely love this sentiment and it's perfect for my daughter :)

A Mother....

I'm back with a Mother's Day card for my mother in law.  This is a Unity Stamp set called First Friend, Best Friend, Forever.  I watercoloured using my new Neocolor II crayons.  You might also notice I was playing a bit - staging the photo lol.  This was fun, but I had issues blurring the background even after changing to Aperture Priority on my camera.  But I'm still happy with how it looks.  I didn't have the sequins on the card when I first photographed, they were just used for the scene, then I thought hey - those would look great on the card!!  There's a bit of Wink of Stella on the flower buds for for a little sparkle.

I'm entering this in The Card Concept's Spring Flowers Challenge.

Watercolour Play

Hi folks - I'm still here!!  Haven't had much time for crafting lately.  But I have been playing in my watercolour journal.  The cactus images are the CTMH Stuck on You stamp and die set.  Did a little masking with this one.  I used my Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints.

And this is a Unity Stamp called First Friend, Best Friend, Forever using my Neocolor II crayons.

Hoppy Easter!!

Nothing crafty to share today - Just a Hoppy Easter wish from me and Sampson :)

You Are My Happy

Hi friends!!  I know, it's been a long time - I've been busy, sidetracked, you name it - Hope you're still with me :)  Things have slowed down now and I can finally get back to spending some time in my crafty room!!  Actually I whipped up this card for my hubby for Valentine's Day - just prior to us leaving for our wedding in Mexico!  Something quick and simple.  I did some watercolouring, stamped a sentiment using a CTMH stamp and then die cut with this super cute Simon Says word bubble die.  Popped that onto a card base with a little bit of background stamping and there you have it.  Easy Peasy :)
