Always in My Thoughts

Hello!  Today I am sharing a card made with stamps from Power Poppy. I am happy that I found the latest challenge at The Blossom Challenge Going Sentimental focusing on a sentiment from Power Poppy.  Power Poppy is one of my all-time favorites for stamps, I stamped and heat embossed the image with Versamark and Gold EP and water colored it with Gina K Inks. Trimmed the image with a die and attached to patterned paper background.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of Pink Vellum which I attached beneath the image.  Actually, I stamped the image first on the patterned paper, but it did not look right so I used the vellum. I arranged the oval at a bit of a slant in my design. The card looks better in real life.  I will be sending this card to my 102 years young Mother who is "never more than a thought away".

Supplies: Image Stamp- Power Poppy Camellias set, Sentiment Stamp- Power Poppy Lavender set, Versamark Ink, GKD Inks, Watercolor Brush, Gold EP, Pink Vellum, White CS, Patterned Paper from Stash, Spellbinders Oval Die.

Fall Sunflowers

Hello! It is nice that we have cooler weather!  I am looking forward to fall and love the flowers of the autumn season.  My card today features a Sunflower stamp from GKD Always Autumn set.  I stamped 3 flowers on watercolor paper with Distress Oxide ink and colored with more of the Oxide inks. I fussy cut the flowers and arranged on a Shimmering Yellow Pearl CS base striped with Washi tapes and layered with an embossed Brown CS panel. Finished with GKD sentiment.  Oxide inks used were Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, and Walnut Stain. The Washi tape was from a prize from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Lucky Bear

Hello on this Monday Morning!  Today I am sharing a tag that I made for the challenge at Tag You're It ! #38 shown on the right.   I was inspired by the layout, the water color background, and animal theme in Tracey's tag.  I chose a bear instead of an elephant and a St. Patrick theme for my tag.  I used an unidentified Lucky Bear from my digital files with a computer generated sentiment on watercolor paper.  I used Distress Inks for the background and copics for coloring.  I used Glossy Accents on the Shamrock Balloon and finished with green and white twine. 
Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa
