One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Three more cards with the Ombre resist technique

 I got out my WPLUS9 Beautiful Bouquet stamps: Dahlia and Ranunculus and inked them up with versamark and white embossed them.  I did all that at one time, then I started blending my colors.  I just used one color for each of the cards, adding more at either the top or bottom to get it darker and then faded it out. The one above has a die from WPlus9: Thanks and the rest of the sentiment is a SSS thanks sentiment.
This is an SSS die and I didn't think it needed anything else.

This is a PTI Die from Big Hugs along with the extra sentiments.
Well, that was fun and a nice way to get an assortment of cards ready.
I seem to need a lot of sympathy and praying for you, isn't that sad?

We had a three hour school delay today because of the freezing rain.  Today was the last scheduled day for finals for the high school, I think they were determined to get it done this time.  It was originally scheduled for last week, but because of the snow days the week before the teachers needed to go over more work that would be on the final.  They are extending the school year by two days and there will be NO teacher in service days the rest of the year.
Well, I think it is now time to put my feet up and maybe watch a show with DH...we have an early morning drive to Kelso WA to watch Ellie play in her first Platinum Volleyball Tournament of the season!  The top four teams from our Oregon region and the top four from the Seattle region meet in Kelso, if we don't do well, we drop down, so hopefully we have our game face on tomorrow!

Heart Hugs, friends!

Muse # 75 and Seize the Sketch

Both of these challenges are by Vicki Dutcher!
I used Distress Inks (evergreen bough, peacock feathers, peeled paint) and sponged them on the card.
then I laid down a MFT Spring flowers Stencil and sponged on some perfect pearls,  as you know, the distress inks react with the water!  I added some Viva White Pearl Pen to the centers of the flower and also a couple of spots on the birthday frame.
 
This card is for the sweetest lady ever...my Aunt who will be 94 in less than a week.  I think she will like this shaker card.
 
I am entering this into the two challenges, designed by the same person!!
 
 thanks for taking a look!
I have 6 more days to create then I am gone for 12 days...going to Oklahoma!
 
Heart Hugs,
