MIM # 322 Above & Below

Well I guess my card doesn't get posted just because I 'think' I posted it!  LOL

I am playing at Papertrey Ink with the Above & Below Make it Monday by Lizzie.

You should have seen my desk while making this card...I kept pulling out one stamp set after another, stamping and cutting and nothing was coming together for me.  Do you ever have one of those days?  After cutting several different images from different stamp sets, I finally put them all away, stepped back and tried again.  This time I was thinking of the hibiscus flower and sweet little hummers that are now flitting around my yard and coming to the feeder.

I do like how this came together and I used fun leaf shapes too!

PTI:  Some like it Hot (flowers)

PTI: Tropics (leaves and sentiment)

PTI: Humming Along (hummingbird)

 

Heart Hugs, friends!

Day 8 Color Pop Fortune Teller

I am on a time crunch here folks, leaving for Salt Lake City in 2 hours...so much still to do, but I had to try to get this card made for today as I will not be playing the rest of the release.

So I made my little fortune teller (LOVED playing this as a young girl!!)

And my colors are aqua mist, spring rain and royal velvet.

Since I had so little time to really get into it..I pulled out a watercolor sheet form the Bold Blossoms and dropped down some reinkers.

I dabbed some water in the spaces first and then dropped my brush with the reinkers into each space.  I made sure I didn't touch each petal if it was wet.  I especially love the royal velvet blossom because it just fanned out so pretty and gave me different shadings all on its own.  Interestingly, the spring rain did NOT do that.  and I also thought the spring rain reinker did not look like the actually color, so I swiped the ink pad on my craft sheet and picked up some color that way, that seemed to be more true to the real color.

Anyway, FUN idea, loved it and will probably keep this little game and make more when I need a mojo lift!!

This is Day 8 of the Release and you can go HERE to check out the whole release and the challenge is at the bottom of the page.

Thanks friends for stopping by...have a terrific weekend!!

Heart Hugs!

PTI Day 2 ~ Dress Up Inspiration Challenge

 Day 2 of the PTI Anniversary Challenges brings us to Dress Up Inspiration...

I need a new raincoat because my zipper broke and just the day of this challenge I received the Nordstrom catalog in the mail and saw this raincoat:

I am sorry the color is not true to the real picture because it was definitely a camo green and I loved the cuffs and inside of the jacket.

I used an assortment of flower stamps from PTI 

flower fusion, bitty bouquet, daydreamer

think big # 2

Create along With us ~ December

Create Along With Us is taking the place of MM this week.

I chose Laurie Willison's card for inspiration.

 

I had some of the Scribbles dies on my desk...they are from my BFF, Linda, so I thought I would use them and that brought me to Laurie's card.

It's that time of the year, so I won't be keeping you any longer!

Thanks for stopping by!

MIM ~ Doodling with Stamps

A new MIM with a video from Ashley over at

Capture the Moment

I used Beautiful Brushstrokes and stamped the first two layers of the flowers, then I added my lines with a pen...getting sketchy...a little tricky for me!  Ha I am not the artistic type...maybe I need to practice this some more!  I do like the look a lot and Ashley's was really pretty.

Thanks for taking a look..
