Brushos, Snippets and a Butterfly

This is a result of some Brusho play.

I had 3 splotches that looked like flowers.

I tried stamping outlines and totally messed up the piece.

(Should have used the MISTI.)

I was able to salvage a snippet by placing it behind the circle frame.

Then I added a butterfly die cut from another snippet.

All these snippets so I'm taking this over to

Pixie's Snippet Playground

And it so happens that Di is the Guest Designer over at

Less is More

Where it's RECIPE WEEK.

and the recipe is

SNIPPETS
and they're celebrating a special day.
A very happy birthday, Chrissie!

I'm so glad you could stop by today.

Enjoy!

Forever Florals Thanksgiving

Addicted to Stamps

is having a Holiday week.

Love this Forever Florals stamp set. 

The flowers are perfect for coloring with the Blendabilities.

I used the Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Blendie sets.

After coloring the flower, I masked it and added some 

leaves from the retired Peaceful Petals set 

and a stem from Secret Garden (also retired).

It seemed perfect for a Thanksgiving card.

I'm so enjoying this set.  I find coloring these flowers very therapeutic!

Here's another very CAS card I did with this set.

There was a stamping boo boo and it ended up much smaller for cutting the bad out.

You can go to Splitcoaststampers to get the details on this one.

I'm so glad you could stop by.

Peaceful Petals Blended for Kylie

I've been playing with my Blendabilities again.

I used the Daffodil Delight set.

I think this is my favorite color set so far.

And I want to wish Kylie a very happy birthday!

Loll has a Birthday Celebration going on for her.
I hope you'll go over with a card and give her some birthday love.

One of Kylie's challenges is

Addicted to Stamps

This week's challenge is

MAKE YOUR MARK

you can use any kind of pens, pencils, paints or chalks. 

Perhaps you can make you mark by sponging or even sewing? 

The choice is yours!

I used the Blendabilities which are 

Stampin' Up!'s new alcohol markers.

I'm so glad you could stop by.

Enjoy!

Peaceful Petals Watercolor

Here's one more card for the Online Watercolor Class

I stamped the flowers with Marina Mist ink and watercolored

with my Aqua Painter and Re-inkers.

We'll be doing a card like this Saturday during a Stamp Stack,

but we'll be using markers to color the flowers and sponging for the background.

They're very similar, but I love the extra movement of the water.
