Reinking

This was for a Splitcoast challenge using reinkers. This is my second attempt using Tim Holt's ink pads.  I haven't done too much water coloring lately, but I think I prefer watercolor products.

The Stamp I used was Stampendous Trop Garden. The sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink.
I love different shaped cards so I used a Spellbinder Grand die.

Happy Thursday!

Yikes!

I really love the Power Poppy challenges, but this one had me a bit nervous. They want 3 different papers on the card. They don't know how paper challenged I am! The only thing that I fear more is card sketches.  If every thing isn't centered, I start to twitch.

I found (3) papers in my small stash and this is what I came up with.

Inside

I've had this Gladiola for quite some time, but this is the first time I've made a card with it. The Glads were colored with Copics.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to fussy cut the flowers and the "Joy" from the sentiment.  

I will have to be careful not to over-do the use of this Spellbinder die. I just love making cards with it. Same goes for those tiny little bows from The Paper Studio.

This is for Power Poppy's July Challenge Hang Some Paper.

The (3) papers in order inside to outer - My Minds Eye, Authentique,  DCWV.

Have a fabulous week.

Girls Gone Fishing

Would you believe, I have never gone fishing? Never, gone hiking, camped out or even have a desire to do any of these activities.  Don't like bugs, sweating, the cold or sleeping on the ground.  Give me
AC, internet, take out and the theater.  Now that's a vacation.

Even so, I couldn't resist this cute QKR digi.

Sand Between the Toes

I made this for Splicoast Challenge F4A273. The theme was "Sand Between My Toes". I intermediately thought of this digi from Phindy's Place.  Phindy's  Place is no longer in business.

Question.  Is is acceptable to share digi's from companies that have gone out of business? So many are no longer around and of course those are the digi's I really want.

Stamps: Phindy's Place & Stampin UP (sentiment)

Paper: White cards stock & DCWV

Medium:  Copic Markers

Die: Impression Obsession (shells)

Laughing Geraniums

The past week has been so good for the soul.  We've had some glorious sunshine with temperatures hovering around 70 deg.  We've had a couple of days with much needed rain showers. The truth is, I love a good rain almost as much as the sunshine. Throw in a little thunder and I just feel exhilarated! (God's angles bowling, you know.)

 Everything has turned a lush green and the lilacs have bloomed. We should be seeing some Geraniums soon. Life is good.

I am entering my card in the Power Poppy challenge Cut-it-Out.

Stamp:  Power Poppy Geraniums
Corner dies:  Cherry Lynn
Copic Markers

I have to admit I cheated by using my Silhouette Cameo to cut the digi. 

The Ants are Marching

Read the title and depending on your age, I bet you'll have a certain tune stuck in you head for an hour or two.

And just in case you have no idea where I'm coming from, here is a video for you to listen to a childhood classic.

I'll call this one Hurrah!

This card is for the QKR Challenge #138 Nature.
