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!

Make It Monday with Melissa

 
Did you see Melissa's video up at the MIM?  Cool watercolor technique that is a little different and easier to handle those watercolor marks!  I pulled out the Peonies on Parade watercolor paper and went to town!!  I used lovely lady and raspberry fizz for the colors on my peonies.  I used green parakeet, fancy flourishes and a sentiment from Happy Hydrangea!
 
I am doing this all on my tablet and it is NOT easy, did my watermark (miracle in itself) then couldn't find it, finally found it but couldn't figure out how to move it so I could use it!
Oh, well, at least the picture is up!
I am in Seattle visiting my BFF Linda!!  Yeah!!
And on Thursday we are going into downtown Seattle and have lunch with Nancy Leppek who is my Seize the Birthday manager extraordinaire!  She and her husband are coming into Seattle to see her son who moved here after graduating from SCAD, he works at Amazon now. 
I am soooo excited to meet her in person!!

Happy Little Stampers Designer challenge


Happy Little Stampers has a new CASE the Designer Challenge and it is awesome by Joyce Mehrberg!  I just had to try my hand at this awesome technique!!
I pulled out a piece of the PTI peony water color paper and went to town!
I used my Zig Clean Color Water pens!
I mounted the colored portion onto foam and attached it to the card!
Another Mother's Day card for the stash!
Thanks for taking a look!!

MIM Score Lines


I really enjoyed Laurie's video at Capture the Moment using score lines on your card.
I used Happy Hydrangea and scored some lines so my sentiment would fit inside.
I did some selective stamping...mostly sponging on secondary colors after first using a lighter color ink (also some masking!).
I added some WOS to the flower petals!  and added some PTI dew drops...love those things!
Just getting this in under the wire...actualy had it done a few days ago, just didn't get around to taking a picture and posting it!

Have a wonderful Sunday...we have sun!
Heart Hugs!
