SAF ~ Threads with Danielle Flanders

I loved Danielle's buttons, but ha ha, I think I laid it down wrong on this card... oh well, too late now!

I did some "smoothing" of yellow, oranges and a touch of red, then I die cut the flowers and branch from Embellished Elegance and the sentiment from Autumn Abundance.

We had trouble finding a four holed button, but I decided to go with this green one.

 

Still trying to catch up a bit.  I think we will be scrambling tomorrow at my home in West Linn, Oregon!!

 

Thanks for stopping by and visiting, I am sorry I have not been visiting many blogs today, I will try to remedy that Monday or Tuesday!!

MIM ~ Debossing stamped images

Over at Capture the Moment Dawn has a video showing debossing a stamped image...so the first thing you do is stamp and then lay your die cut on top, but using the rubber mat so it does NOT cut out, just debosses the image...gives a very nice touch to the card.

stamps  PTI Garden Grace, Fancy Folk Art

ink:  simply chartreuse, raspberry fizz, versafine black

I am having fun at my BFF's Linda, we have until Friday to play together.

I was up in the Seattle area for my two granddaughter's Volleyball tournament.

Lily, the 10 year old won her division (my husband coaches her team) and

Ellie the 12 year old played for the finals in the 14 and under gold division and lost the match, but they played strong and she played really good.  We love watching them play and we tell them that all the time!

We have the final BIG tournament in Phoenix, AZ in June, so all the family will be down there for that, then we will stay a few extra days for a vacation.  There will be 12 of us in the house!

thanks for taking a look!  Hope you all have a great week!

Heart Hugs,

Colleen
