Soft Colour Combo

Good morning my crafty peeps!

For today's card, I was in the mood for using soft colours on my card and this colour combo grabbed my eye - Soft Sky with Crisp Cantaloupe, Soft Suede & Very Vanilla.  Can you tell I am dreaming of Spring, all my cards lately have that Spring like feel.




The stamped images on my Card are from the retired Summer Afternoon stamp set.  

Prior to water colouring and adding sentiment and bow.


Unfortunately I had brush too wet and there was some bleeding.




Hope you like it!  Have a Tea-rrific day...

Hugs, Karen

Sunflowers and butterfly

Hello my crafty peeps,
I am still working my way through all the retired and new stamps I bought these last three months. Today's card I chose the sunflower. 

I started with a very vanilla card base, then a scrap of paper I had, then layered Sahara Sand and So Saffron together.  I stamped the image on watercolour paper, painted and added some sparkles with Stickles and a stardust pen. I adhered this to card base with dimensionals.



Hope you like it!

Hugs, Karen

Mojo Monday #390

Hello all my crafty peeps!  

It has been a busy week already, time just seems to be flying by.  I just received the retired Stampin' Up! Hostess set "Summer Afternoon", I love it.  All the things I would love to have in my backyard.  I wish it was like this outside instead of a barren winter yard.  The very lovely sketch by MOJO MONDAY gave me a perfect opportunity to try it out.






Thanks for taking a peek today. If you would like to purchase any of the supplies to make this type of a card, please click here.
