Palm Trees and Ocean Breeze...
  Hello friends!! Labor Day maybe the "unofficial" end to summer but there's still plenty of Sunshine to soak up!!  Today's card features this fun set from Darcie's Heart and Home, Copic coloring, and watercoloring background using Distress stains (squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, and salty ocean). To start, I die cut a stitched rectangle panel using Distress watercolor paper, then began applying Distress stains being careful not to mix.  I then took a wet brush and began moving the colors around, keeping a fairly horizontal line to each color but allowing a little to run together. Next, I stamped images and Copic colored.  To finish card, I stamped sentiment, heat embossed, assembled elements and adhered to a Neenah desert storm card base, using fun foam to adhere images.  Thanks so much for stopping by by...take care!

Stuck with Me...
   Hello friends!!, who's ready for the weekend?  I'm certainly looking forward to spending some crafty time in my craft room, relaxing, and doodling the days away.  Today's card features this fun set from MFT's "sweet succulents" and Copic coloring.  To start, I stamped, die cut image using coordinating dies, and Copic colored.  I then added a Wink of Stella in clear and a coat of glossy accents.  I wanted to keep this card fairly simple so I thought that adding the Wink and glossy accents would give a little detail without taking away from the overall design.  I set aside image to dry then die cut "wonky window" (MFT's) out of stitched rectangle panel, spritzed a Gold Shimmer Spray from Ranger, and trimmed a piece of patterned paper to fit behind (MFT's gingham patterned paper). To finish, I stamped sentiment, heat embossed, and adhered image to panel using foam tabs.  I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and thanks so much for stopping by...take care!

Kneading You...
