Blooming Meadow

It has been a very busy weekend so this will be a very quick share.

This was made from a snippet left from this card.  Two very different looks from one stamped image.

I'll enter it at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge

We need to use a product from the Simon Says Stamp Store.  I used the Blooming Meadow stamp by Hero Arts.

And Pixie's Crafty Workshop only requires using snippets.  After I used the piece for the other card, this image became a snippet. And the pieces behind it are snippets too.

Card Recipe

Stamps:  Blooming Meadow Cling (Hero Arts)

Ink:  SU Markers

Paper:  Midnight Muse, Whisper White (SU)

Other:  Square Lattice EF ( SU)

I inked the stamp with various markers, huffed and stamped on Whisper White. The stamped image is layered onto Midnight Muse and 2 layers of Whisper White then the embossed piece.

I really appreciated all your kind and supportive comments about our Jack.  Now I've got to show you what his teacher sent to us on Friday.

This was taken on the playground.  I think he's making progress.  That smile is worth a million dollars!  If he cries this week, I'll remember this!

Hope you've had a wonderful weekend.  Thanks for spending time with me.

Enjoy!

I mentioned last week that I was playing with the Dare to Get Dirty Challenge at SCS.  I managed to enter 11 cards that fulfilled 29 out of the 42 challenges. Whew! By the time I got the last of them in the gallery, I was bushed.  I'm already planning some strategy for next year.  Anyone want to watch Jack for a week next August?

The challenges were really fun and I tried a couple of techniques that I'd been wanting to try for  a long time.  I didn't think I could complete all the challenges and I was really pleased to get as many done as I did.  I thought I'd share a few of those cards since I didn't have time to blog them.

The leaves were made using the Polished Stone technique that I'd been wanting to try for 5 years or more.  See recipe here.

This card was inspired by my friend and fellow Queen for the Day, Loll Thompson.  She has a link for cutting instructions that made this really easy.  See recipe for this card here.

This was my daughter's favorite of them all.  You can see the card recipe here.

Thanks for the visit. 

Enjoy!

Blooming Meadow

Here's a little bit of Spring for you.  I hope that wherever you are you are finally seeing some signs of Spring.

When I saw Virginia's beautiful card at the Muse Challenge, I thought of a pretty flower garden.  And this stamp is perfect for a flower garden.  Here's Virginia's card.

Colour Q gave me the colors.

Inkspirational Challenge has the perfect sketch for this image.

Queen for the Day this week at SCS is Jeanne S.  I hope I get time to CASE more of  her cards.  I saw several that made the wheels start turning.  But this card, with it's bright, pretty flowers, won me over right away.


Vicki Burdick had a birthday this week and Lesley at Always Playing with Paper is linking up birthday cards for her.  So I'm dropping this off over there too.  Happy Birthday, Vicki!

I'd better stop.  My DS and BIL are visiting and I'm being quite rude sitting here at the computer with you instead of enjoying their company.
