Warm Greetings

Hello everyone.  I'm back today to share one of very few Christmas cards I made this year.

When I saw this image released by Penny Black, well you know me, anything nature related I must have. Now I have had this coloured up just before we started our kitchen reno's, but I finally got around to finishing it up a couple of weeks ago, and popped it in the mail to a wonderful friend!

I used my Misti and tombow markers to colour this red rubber stamp, misting lightly before each impression and then continue until  I'm happy with the results.

Then came the hardest decision, how to finish the card.  I didn't want to take away from the image. I layered the image onto some gold mirror c/s, then  pulled out some kraft cardstock for the base, sponged around the edges with some distress oxide brown inks (sorry don't remember the exact colours) to darken it up.  I then used some Gansai Tambi  Starry Colours for the ink splatter.

I stamped the sentiment (Altenew) and then added some small rhinestones.  I love how this turned out!

That's it for me today, off to finish up a few more cards and get them in the mail.  

This coming week is my last week of working before Christmas break.  I took off the week of Dec 19, and don't return until Dec 28, going to be a nice long break :)

Enjoy your day, whatever you are up to. See you soon,

Pauline

Sympathy cards

Good day everyone!  It's another cold and gloomy day here today, a bit of rain this morning with a high of 3C (37F) and then it turns bitterly cold again for Monday & Tuesday (feeling like -17C & -15C).  We had a bit of snow last week, but with the rain it will be almost gone. All I can say is bring on the Spring!

I had to make some sympathy cards  to go along with one of my Christmas card orders, so today I will share a couple of them with you.

For my first one, I am using Gina K's Wild Blossoms.  Using my Misti, I lined up the stamp to my paper, then inked the vine with green ink.  I then added the flowers one by one using a stamp and acrylic block, these were very easy to line up along the vine.  I then stamped the sentiment in black, then cut out the image using Gina K's master layouts 2 stitched rectangle die and matching layer.  To finish off I added 3 tiny white pearls. 

For my second card, I'm using an embossing folder from Altenew - this one is from one of the Life Project kits - Hello Beautiful.  Not sure if you can tell by the photo, but the side I used is the debossed side.  To achieve this look, I added a pigment ink to the raised side of the embossing folder, added my paper, run through my Spellinders Platinum 6 and voila.  So beautiful! I then stamped 'with sympathy' (stamp from Papertrey Ink).

To finish off I added a pearl to the center flower, and some layering foam behind the image to give it some dimension.

Well, that's it for me for today, I need to start working on some Valentine Day cards for my friend.  Hope you all have a wonderful day, whatever you are up to.  Keep well,

Pauline

Heartfelt Condolences

Hello everyone! Hope you had a good weekend! 

Today I have a couple more sympathy cards which I made for my last card order.

All products are from Altenew - 

My first card is using the stencil and die from Hill Blossoms set.  I used Altenew inks for this. Once my floral was all stenciled I cut it using the matching die.  For the background I took a stencil and sponged some light ink just for some added interest.  Sentiment was stamped in black versfine, and then a few pearls were added to finish this off.

For my second card, I used Altenew's Flower Bunch stencil and die. Again used Altenew inks for the stenciling, once done I cut it out with the matching die. I then ran a piece of white card stock through my Platinum 6 using the Altenew Angled  Mosaic 3D embossing folder. I added the die cut floral piece to the front and added some pearls and wink of stella glitter pen to the flowers.

I love using the stencils, they make for such a fast and very pretty card.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  See you back here real soon.  Take care,

Pauline

Spider Mums

Hope everyone is doing well.  I have a floral card to share today from Altenew Stamps - this one is a Paint-a-flower stamp - Spider Mum.

I stamped the image onto some white cougar 100lb using Gina K's black amalgam ink.  I then pulled out a variety of copics and went to town.

Once coloured I pulled out a SSS stencil and sponged some soft ink colours around the flower.  I used distress oxide, but pretty much what was on my brush and sponged very lightly.

Image was cut out using MFT stitched rectangle.  I layered 2 more pieces of white cardstock behind it for dimension then adhered to my card base.

Finishing touches I added clear Nuvo glitter pen to the flowers, and add a couple of gems.

As always, I appreciate your visit today. Have a wonderful day.

Airbrushed flowers

 I'm back with a second post this week, which has not been my norm lately, but I made a couple of cards on the weekend, so this is the second one I made.

Using Altenew's Airbrushed Flowers set and matching dies.

Inks used are from the Altenew sets Nature's Wonders and Sugarplums. This set is a multiply layer set, which I just love doing.  Step by step instructions with each makes stamping so much easier.  Once stamping was done I cut it out with matching dies.

It took me a while to decide what I wanted to do for the background.  Most of my papers were either too busy of a pattern, or not the right shade of purple/plum.  So I decided to go white.  I used the Pinkfresh Studio die  called Diagonal Stitched Plaid which only cuts the plaid marks, and then I also used the oval frame which is called Francy Oval Frame also by PFS.  I cut 2 of the frames and glued them together.

I arranged the florals around the frame, tucking the leaves underneath, and adding some foam squares under the flower petals in spots as well as the top and bottom leaves.  

Using Nuvo glitter gloss pen to add some sparkle to the centers of the flowers, then added some Studio Katia Icy Sparkle crystals.

I was going to add a sentiment, but decided not to.  This way I can use it for anything, either add a sentiment at that time, or just on the inside.

That's it for me this week.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone, see you back here next week.  Keep well!

Heartfelt Sympathy

Hello everyone,  Just a quick short post today.

Today's card was inspired by a card that Leslie made a while back.  I was asked by a friend for a couple of sympathy cards.  Since I already had the flower done a few weeks back,  I decided to use Leslie's idea for mine.

Stamp and die set by Altenew - Positive Vibe, and the inks were all by Altenew as well.

My embossed border along the left side was done using a border die from Creative Expressions  - Frames & Tags - Stella's Border.

Added a few mini pearls and Nuvo Glitter gloss on the flowers.

I am off today, so I decided to put up my Christmas Tree this morning.  So pretty, my colour theme is gold, copper and clear.

Well, I think I will work on some more cards this afternoon!

Have a wonderful day, and thanks again for stopping by.

My new picture in the banner - this is a yellow-rumped warbler taken in my backyard a couple of weeks ago.  With the weather still warm at that time (which is very unusual for end of Oct) this little guy was hanging around. He was very co-operative as I took his picture.

Poinsettia 3D

 Hello everyone! Hope everyone had a good weekend.  I must say it does not feel like November, the temperatures have been in the 60's on thurs and friday, and yesterday, today and tomorrow in the 70's! I'm not complaining but just so unusual!

I have been falling behind in my Christmas card making, and I have a few orders to fill along with some everyday cards such as birthday, sympathy, anniversary, and baby cards, so I made myself work on some yesterday.  

This card was so easy to mass produce, I ended up making a total of 9.  All die cuts and some hot glimmer foiling.  The 3D poinsettia die is from Altenew.  Love all the details that is embedded when you die cut, just adds so much detail to the finished product.  The decorative border is by Papertrey Ink ( Ink to Paper) - Joy Frame die.

 One all the layers of the poinsettia were cut out - I used 100lb white cougar c/s, I added the following:

Sponged distress antique linen, then spritzed with Medieval Gold from Lindy's. I also added some gold splatters using the Brilliant Gold from my US Art Quest pearlescent and metallic tray. This set is about 10 years old, never goes bad, just spritz with water to activate. Used gold foiling for the sentiment.

 

 For this one I sponged distress victorian velvet and twisted citron, spritzed with the same gold, and used Rose gold for the foiling.

 I tried to get a close up of the gold spray, hope you can see it.  In real these are just beautiful, the spray shimmers perfectly.

 

 

 

 

For the blue one I used some Prima watercolour paper, and spritzed distress oxide inks in pistachio,  blueprint sketch and tumbled glass.  Once it was dry, I cut out the poinsettia, then splattered some Misty Lavender pearlescent from the same US Art quest tray.  Skybright foil was used on the sentiment.  When I made the second blue one, I did spray the poinsettia with some clear shimmer spray, but this one I left as is.

 

 This last one I sponged distress candied apples and scattered straw.  Sentiment was foiled in Red.

 Well, that's it for me for today.  I hope you enjoyed the variety of colourful poinsettias. Do you have a favourite?

Wishing you a wonderful day,

 Pauline

 

 

Sunflower Daisy day!

Can you believe it is  Friday already, boy does time fly! Good thing for me as I'm off for a nice 4 day weekend.

Today's card is using Altenew Sunflower Daisy stamp set and matching die. This is one of those multiple step stamping sets which I love.

I started by stenciling a background using Simon Says Stamps Square Dance stencil and Frayed Leaf Altenew ink.. I used MFT stitched rounded corner rectangle die to cut this out. I splattered the background by using my SU platter tool along with a Tombow marker.  Sentiment is from PTI and  was stamped using black versafine.

All the stamping of flowers and leaves were done using a variety of Altenew Inks, then everything was die cut.

I added a couple of strips of washi tape in behind my top layer, popped the top layer up with some craft foam, added the flowers and leafs,  some dollar store glittery rhinestones, and some Art Institute glitter for the centers of the daisy's. 

I appreciate you stopping by today, have yourself a wonderful weekend.  Hugs,

Pauline

Hello!  I actually have a card to share with you today.  Since this whole pandemic started, I find it very hard to make cards.  Not sure what the whole reason is, but I actually forced myself to make a card last night. It was a struggle at first, but once I got into colouring I was good.

I'm using a stamp from Altenew called - Paint-a-flower Poppy.  I'm not very good at watercolouring for the most part, but over the last month I have watched various videos on you tube from some of the best to pick up some tips and tricks!

I embossed the image with white, and then watercoloured with distress oxide inks.  Smooshed various colours onto my TH glass mat and then watercoloured away. I really like the softness of the colours once they dry. I stamped one of the sentiments from the set using black versafine.

I used SSS A2 Thin Frames to cut it out, then layered it onto a soft green base.  Added some pearls, rhinestones, and glitter from Art Institute and voila!

Thank you for stopping by, keep well my friends.

Hope your day is amazing

Hello everyone.  Hope you had a good weekend.  It was spring like weather here, lots of sun, breezy - a bit cold on Saturday, but yesterday was beautiful.  It won't last long as we are in for colder temperatures mid week with snow.

Today, I have another watercoloured image to share with you.

This is Peony Spray from Altenew, with matching die.

I stamped it with Intense Black from Simon Says Stamps, then water coloured using Prima Paints - Decandent Pies (guava meringue, apple and keylime) and also from the Woodlands set - foxberry and deep moss). Once coloured, I then took similar colours of my Polychromos pencils and added shading.

For the background I took Prima paints guava merinque and apple and water down quite a bit to make a wash using the same colours that is in the flower.  I heat set to dry, then splattered with ink.

I stamped the sentiment using Black Versafine - sentiment is from Altenew - Fresh Freesia set.

My card base is a peachy shimmer card stock.

To finish off, I added some sequins, and Nuvo shimmer to the flower for a bit of sparkle.

I hope you have an amazing day!

Pauline

Hope your day is fabulous

Hello! Did you think I fell off the face of the earth? Well, I didn't, just been busy with many things in my life. Have had some health issues with my feet - planters fasciitis - very painful.  I had to get orthotics and gradually break them in over a few weeks. This past weekend, something terrible happened and I could barely walk for 2 days.  My feet were so sore it was unbelievable.  Then I experience over the last month swelling of the ankles everyday.  I would ice them at night put my feet up, take advil, they looked good in the morning the it would happen all over again. I also had a flare up with my RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) this past weekend as well.  When it rains it pours, so they say!   But must say I think I'm on the mend - thank goodness! It's been a rough month.

My card today is one I made over a month ago, but just never posted it.  I'm using Altenew - build a flower Cattleya.

I had already made the background a while ago using Magenta Nuance powders, so this came in handy when I was doing this card.  I stamped the flower onto some Canson watercolour paper using black memento and then water coloured it.  I'm sorry I don't even remember what inks I used to colour this with.

I cut out a couple of stitched circles to layer underneath the Cattleya flower.  I stamped the sentiment onto some white cardstock and then cut it with a banner die.  The sentiment is one of a few that come with the stamp set.

I added foam tape behind the flower for dimension, added some glitter to the centers of the flower and some enamel dots for accents.  I also added a strip of silver paper along the right side.

Thank you for your visit today, I will be back soon.  Have a fabulous day!

Pauline

Beautiful day

Hello everyone.  I'm back today to share another birthday card I made for my friends order.

I'm using Altenew's Handpicked Bouquet and matching die.

I started by stamping and embossing with platinum the floral onto some watercolour paper.  I then used my Zig markers to watercolour.  Once done I used the coordinating die to cut it out.

For my background I smooshed some distress oxide inks onto my glass mat, spritzed and then dabbed my paper into the inks until I liked what I saw.  I also splattered some distress ink on top once it was dry.  I then used an MFT die to cut out the background.  Some foam tape was added behind the scallop layer then I adhered this to my card base.

The sentiment is from Altenew - Beautiful Day and is embossed in white onto some black c/s.  I then cut it down to make a banner tag and adhered it to the bottom.  I was going to add some dimension in behind the flowers, but didn't want to make this card to thick as I already had some foam tape behind the background layer, so just adhered this flat. 

To finish off I added some enamel dots!

Thanks for stopping by, I always appreciate when you do.  Have yourself a fabulous weekend!

Starry Flowers

I had this post scheduled to post this morning at 5am, came home from work and did not post. Grrrrr...... so here it is now.

Can you believe this is the end of January already?  These last 2 weeks have been so bitterly cold, I just keep saying to myself as we approach each day - "another day closer to spring"!  Yesterday was -38C (-36F) with the wind chill and today isn't much better.  You can't even stay outside it's that cold. Monday is suppose to be a high of 8C (45F)  - what strange weather we are having! I don't know how the littler birds stay warm and alive being so cold.  I keep lots of feed in the feeders to give them fuel for warmth.

Over the Christmas holidays, I took some time to de-clutter my stamp room.  In doing so I found a lot of stuff to either ditch or to hang on to and use.  I came across some background papers that I had made using distress inks, so decided use a piece of it for my card today.

I really didn't know what I was going to do, use it as a background or stamp on it.  I decided to pull out my Altenew Starry Flower stamp set and stamp one of the flowers.  Since this is a outline flower I felt it worked best in showcasing the colours.

I don't even know what colours of distress ink I used as this was made sometime ago. After stamping the flower I used the matching die cut to cut it out.  I also had the lacey die cut underneath the flower already cut out as well, just waiting to be used someday.  

I cut a piece of shimmer purple c/s using an MFT scallop die then layered the white lacey die from PTI - Mix & Mat Scallop Dies.  I adhered the starry flower on top and added a small bow made of silver thread on the steam.  I hemmed and hawed whether to add a sentiment, so as you can see I decided to go with one.  I stamped the PTI - thinking of you sentiment using black versafine.  I then lined up where I wanted it to go and used just the scallop border piece of the die to cut the edges.  I added some foam tape behind to adhere to the card and added a small wooded butterfly to the corner.

Using my wink of stella I added lots of clear sparkle to the floral piece as well as the little butterfly.

This was a quick card indeed!

I appreciate your visit today, enjoy the rest of your day! Stay safe and keep warm!

Pauline

Smile today

Hello everyone.   I'm back today to share another card made with some Altenew stamps. I just love the layering stamps and this particular set was very easy to stamp the layers.

This set is called Sweet Rose Bouquet - which is the same stamp set I used on this card, except this time I used the individual stamps rather than the branch.

After stamping and die cutting the roses, I pulled out my Joy Craft square frame cut it out and then used a Memory Box stencil and sponged some light green ink for a bit of background on the center.
I then placed my roses to where I wanted them and then stamped the sentiment using black versafine.

I then adhered the roses - some adhering flat and some using pop dots.  I added a silk bow in the corner and some glittery rhinestones in the corner of the die cut, as well as wink of stella clear pen for the flowers.

I hope I inspired you in some way today.  Thanks for your visit.  Have a wonderful day.

Supplies:
Stamp - Altenew - Sweet Rose Bouquet, Penny Black - smile today
Ink - Altenew - rose petal, green fields & tropical forest ink sets, black versafine
Paper - white cougar, Prima - firefly collection
Die - Joy craft - square frame - cutting & embossing
Misc - silk ribbon, rhintestones, wink of stella clear pen.

Sweet Rose Bouquet

Hello all.  Hope your week is going well.  I have a 3 day weekend ahead of me so I'm looking forward to that.

As I mentioned in my last post I've been busy making cards.  I've been really hooked on the Altenew stamps, just love doing the multi step stamping.

Today's card features the Altenew stamp set called Sweet Rose Bouquet.

Using my Misti, I started by stamping my leaves (which is all one stamp) using the Altenew Tropical Forest set of inks, starting with the lightest colour.  I then continued with the layers using a darker ink each time.

Once the leaves were completed I laid the first layer of rose stamp onto my card lining up where the roses set among the leaves. For the roses I used the Altenew Tea Party ink set and continued added a darker colour for each layer.

I used MFT cross-stitch oval to cut out the image, left the die in place and used the lightest ink colour from the Tea Party set which was pink pearl and sponged some ink around the image. I added some fun foam behind the image and layered this onto  white cardstock which was die cut using PTI - Shape Shifter - Oval #4.

Background paper is from PTI soft stone pattern paper pack.  I cut a couple of strips of c/s - soft coral and gold metallic and adhered them along the bottom for some added interest.

For the sentiment (Simon Says - tiny word set) I embossed it onto some black c/s using white embossing powder then trimmed to fit and then added a small coral silk bow. Wink of stella clear was added to the roses for a bit of shimmer.

I really like how this turned out, I will be using this set a lot for future cards.

Thanks for visiting today, see you soon.  Have a fabulous day!

Garden Treasures

 I'm back today to share another Mother's Day card with you.  I'm using Altenew's Garden Treasure stamp set and matching dies. 

I used Altenew dye inks to stamp out all the flowers and then die cut with the matching dies. I had PTI - Shape Shifter oval die 1 already cut out laying on my table so decided to use this as my centerpiece background.

Designer paper is from my scrap bin.  On the bottom part of the pink gingham paper I added some white rub-ons to give it that bit of extraness.  This seemed to work out well because by doing the rub-ons I was able to add a small rhinestone in the center of each flower.

I also added some small pearls to the oval die.  Now you probably think I'm a bit crazy using such a bright ribbon, but I tell you honestly it is not that bright of a pink in real. It actually matches the gingham pink colour pretty close.  Sometimes the camera captures colours in a different way.  I used my wink of stella clear pen to add sparkle to the flowers.

I made this for a friends MIL.

Have a great day!
Pauline

Doodled lace

Hi there, I'm back today to share a card I just made.  When I was in London on Saturday, I stopped at the  stamp store there and lucky me, they had 25% off everything in the store.  They are making room for new items from Creativation.  I picked up this Altenew Doodle lace cover plate.  Because it is a bit busy wasn't sure how I was going to display it on a card.

I also picked up some of the new distress oxide inks at Paper Pickle once I got back into town.  I wanted to try out the new inks so thought I should make a distress background to go under the cover plate.

I started with a piece of Canson 140lb water colour paper.  I smooshed the follow distress oxide inks on my teflon craft mat - shaded lilac, tattered rose, wild honey - gave it a spritz and then laid my water colour paper onto it, lifted up and then heat set it.  The tattered rose is really pale, but I wanted a bit more vibrancy, so added a bit of picked raspberry to my craft mat, spritzed again and then tapped my c/s into the ink where I needed to add more colour.  I heat set again, then repeated once more.  I then spritzed some water into my hand then dropped the water onto the distress background, let it set for about 15 sec, then took a paper towel and laid it over the card stock, picking up any loose water.  By doing this it will leave watermarks.  I then reached for my adirondack metallic - gold dabber, and it was dried up inside.  So I took a craft knife put some on a palette then added a bit of water and mixed it up.  took a fine paintbrush, dipped it into the gold wash and flicked it on my background.

I cut the background down to size to fit behind the doodle lace, adhered and then adhered to my card base.  The sentiment is from Altenew  - Sentiments & quotes set.  I embossed it in white onto some grey c/s, trimmed the ends.  I then added a piece of pink under neath it.  I added dimensionals behind the sentiment before adhering to the card.  Then I added lots of sequins in various colours.  I hope I didn't go overboard!

Overall, this was a quick and easy card, great to mass produce, with different colours and sentiments.

Have a wonderful day!

PS - my new photo at the top is a picture Bill took a few weeks ago.  A 4th year bald eagle floating down Lake St. Clair on a chunk of ice!

Fresh Freesia

Hello everyone.  Just popping in for a quick post today before heading to work.  It's going to be a very hot and high humidity day - forecasting temperatures to reach 102 this afternoon, way too hot for me. I'm more for around the low 70's!

Anyway, I purchased a few Altenew sets from our local store - The Paper Pickle a few weeks back.
I wanted to do a water colouring card using my Zig clean colour markers, so I decided to use 
Fresh Freesia.

I embossed the image onto some Tim Holtz water colour paper using white embossing powder. From there I just added a bit of Zig markers and used my Koi water brush to move the colours. I was thrilled out it turned out.  Not sure if this is a Freesia colour or not, but I went with it anyway.

There are several sentiments with this set, it was hard to choose.  I stamped the sentiment in black versafine using my Misti to line it up.  I ended up stamping it a couple of times to get a nice crisp clean impression - that is what I love about the Misti.

I then trimmed it down to the size I wanted, used some SEI paper - Mimosa for the background and the back side I cut a couple of smaller strips and layered this behind the image.

To finish I added wink of stella clear pen to the flowers and some clear sequins.

Okay, must run - have a wonderful day, and I thank you again for stopping by.  See you soon,

Pauline

Sending well wishes

Hi everyone. Hope everyone had a good week.  It's been terribly cold here, with snow through out the week.  This cold weather is suppose to last at least into next weekend. Temperature going down to -37C (-34F) I am so ready for spring!

For my card today I'm using a set from Altenew called Persian Motifs.  At first I wasn't sure how I was going to colour this - pencils, copics?? and then I thought about my sakura pens.  So I started my card and this is how it turned out:

I started by white embossing the flowers and leaves on some Tim Holtz watercolour paper.  I then watercoloured using the Sakura Metallic Jelly roll pens. You don't need to add much ink to the paper - a little goes a long way. I know you can't see it in the picture but in real the leaves and flowers just glisten with that bit of metallic in the ink - so pretty.

I added the sentiment using  PTI -Wet Paint III stamp set and smokey grey versafine ink.
Added a strip of paper down the left side to pick up the colour of the flowers - this was a scrap piece from one of the Memory Box paper packs. Finished off with some sequins.

So overall it was a simple card.  I will try this again using some different colours.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. It's a 3 day weekend for some of us Canadians - Family Day on monday -for a couple of the provinces.

 I want to leave you with this adorable picture.  After shoveling one night  afterwork,  I noticed our friendly bunny around the bird feeders looking for scraps.  I went in the house, looked out the kitchen window and there he/she was sitting on the deck, so grabbed my camera.So sweet, I would just love to cuddle him. :)

Thanks for your visit.  Till next time.....

Painted Flowers

Good morning to all on this cold, blistery winter morning here in SW Ontario.  Wind chills today to reach -23 C (-9F). Although it is cold, we did escape the freezing rain and snow that fell on other parts of Ontario and Eastern Canada. We just had a dusting of snow, but strong winds and a bit of snow which are to continue all week.

During my off time through the holidays, I managed to get several cards done - which I'm so happy about.  So my plan is each week to do at least 2-3 new cards to keep myself ahead, and also keep notes of what supplies I used so when I do go to post the card at a later date I have the list of supplies I used to pass onto you.

The card I'm showing you today is made using a new set from Altenew called Painted Flowers. This set is a 3 step stamping - love these types of stamps - love the dimension you get.

I started by cutting a white panel to fit inside the embossed area.  I then took some my ink pads - PTI - Aqua mist, & Hawaiian shores and rubbed them on my teflon mat, spritzed, then picked up the paint using an old tooth brush and flicked it onto my panel.  I must of had some glitter ink on there previously because when you tilt the card you can see glitter sparkles - so pretty.

I then followed the 3 step process to stamp the flowers and leaves.  I then added a couple of outline leaves to fill in some spaces as well as the 3 little dots from the set PTI - Life is beautiful.

I stamped an extra flower on some scrap white c/s and then cut it out and popped up over the other flowers.  Used my silver krylon pen and edged the panel before adhering to the embossed panel.

To finish I added the sentiment which was stamped in black versafine, added some glitter to the flowers using my wink of stella clear pen, and then added some sequins.  I kind of like just the one turquoise sequin mixed in with all the clear ones.

Okay, well that's it for today, off to get ready for work.  Have yourself a wonderful week, my next card will be a Stamping Bella image - I'm going to participate in their challenge this week. Until next time....

Supplies:
Stamps - Altenew - painted flowers, PTI - Delightful Dahlia additon (sentiment), PTI - Life is beautiful - (for the 3 little dots)
paper - PTI aqua mist, white - 110lb cougar
ink - black versafine, PTI - aqua mist, hawaiian shores, spring moss, new leaf
Misc - SU embossing folder, silver krylon pen, wink of stella pen, sequins
