Floral Garden Finished Cards

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Thanks for following along with my coloring each day.

Here's how I used the design...


The design is so large that it worked great for two slimline cards.
(These are a Monarch size slimline.)


For this card, I cut a heart from it.  Believe me I was a nervous wreck during
all this cutting!  But I'm happy to say it all seemed to work out.

I'll send this one to my aunt.


I matted this one as the previous card with Gorgeous Grape cardstock and
made it into a birthday card.  I embossed the whole design with subtle texture,
using a slim strip over the meeting place.  You can see the texture better here....


On to another coloring project.
Do check out Kathy's Day 4 coloring.  Sigh, it's looking gorgeous!
I think I know what to pull out next.

As you can see, I'm coloring with Distress Markers and my trusty waterbrush.

Stencil Stamping for CAS Mix Up

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up.


Our very talented Jenny is hosting this month and she chose...

I used Distress ink through a stencil for this flower.  Using a blender brush,
I lightly spread some ink around the stenciling.

Then I replaced the stencil and stamped over top with a background script stamp.

We are excited to have Chrissie Stokes joining our fantastic Design Team.
Welcome aboard, Chrissie!

Two of my good friends, Bobby and Michele are our Guest Designers this month! 
I can't wait for you to see what they've done with this challenge 
and the rest of the design team too. Lots of wonderful inspiration there!

If you're unsure of ways to do this technique, there are tutorials at the
CAS Mix Up challenge site.

Hope to see you in the gallery.
