Special Delivery

I wanted to water color the poodle and balloon from

the Birthday Delivery set.

I started with stamping the poodle and the balloon on water color paper.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then cut them out with the matching dies.

I water colored them using the aqua painter and water color pencils.  The balloon

and the hair bow on the poodle are Real Red and the poodle is colored with both 

Early Espresso and Smoky Slate. I wanted the balloon darker but it just did not get there.

I cut a piece of Old Olive and layered a piece of Whisper White scalloped a bit

on the bottom to look like grassy meadow.  I stamped the sentiment 

in Memento Tuxedo Black then layered it with Pacific Point, 

some of the matching DSP called Birthday Memories.  I added a piece of 

Island Indigo twine (retired) to the poodle and balloon for string.

Finally some white background and a Pacific Point base.  

I did add some Wink of Stell clear glitter to the balloon and the fur on the poodle

for some shine but does not show up good in photo.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Girl

I saw some simple cards on Pinterest with the

girl from the Birthday Delivery set and wanted to make one

for a friend's birthday next week.

I started with stamping the girl and the flowers (separately) on

water color paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I let them dry and water colored with the aqua painter after

I colored them with my water color pencils. 

On the girl, I used Pacific Point on the dress,

 Daffodil Delight and Early Espresso 

on her hair then lightly did Calypso Coral on her skin.

The flowers were Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry with Pacific Point for the bow.

It turned out too dark...next time will use a lighter color for the flowers!

I cut the girls and flowers with matching dies and placed flowers in her hands.

I layered on a white oval then a Pacific Point scallop oval then on

a Whisper White background with birthday girl stamped from two

different stamps in the set which I used a Rich Razzleberry marker

to color before stamping.

I then layered on more Pacific Point and finally a thick Whisper White base.

I like water coloring these and the pencils made it easy!

Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by!

Smile For Eastern Beauty

I had some of the Dapper Denim "flower" dies

left over from another project and decided to use it to 

make a card with the Eastern Beauty set and matching DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from the set in Fresh Fig and then cut 

it out with a circle die layering with another in Fresh Fig.

I added them to the Denim flower die and cut some 

paper from the Eastern Palace DSP for the background 

and ran some Fresh Fig 1/2" finely woven ribbon across

 before layering on a Dapper Denim base.

To finish was the added a few pearls under the sentiment 

and it was a quick card in my stash!

Hope you have a delightful day and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Bouquet

I have seen most of the bouquets made with this set straight up and down

so I decided to make this bouquet laying some what.

I started with the stems cut with Tranquil Tide card stock. I cut a tie

for the bunch from Soft Suede. I then stamped two of all flowers

 and middles on white card stock.  I even cut two sprigs from white with out stamping.

I used the matching die cuts called Bouquet Bunch framelits dies.

I stamped the birthday sentiment three times for fun

 and fill the space on my white card stock. 

 I layered it on the embossed Berry Burst card stock

and then finished it layering on a piece of thick Whisper White. 

Hope you have a blessed Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful Bouquet Square

I wanted so much to make amazing bouquets 

with this Beautiful Bouquet set but a little overwhelmed with it.

I decided to start out small but stamping

a little on the card stock and then 

layering some die cut flowers over with a bold sentiment.

I stamped three Calypso Coral flowers and added some Pear Pizzazz

leaves.  I then stamped two Pool party flowers and two middle in 

Daffodil Delight and cut them with the Bouquet Bunch framelts dies.

I stamped one other flower in Daffodil Delight and cut it out.

The sentiment was from Colorful Seasons stamped in Early Espresso ink.

I cut the white card stock at 3 1/2" square and layered it on

Calypso Coral 4" square base.

I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!

Thanks for stopping by!

PP353 Love You Flamingos

I have been wanting to make a card with two flamingos because 

I think more flamingos are better!  What is more fun in the water than two flamingos!?!

Well, probably several things but I love the water stamp in this set!

I started with my two flamingos stamped in Blushing Bride and then Calypso Coral.

I added water in both Pool Party and Tranquil Tide.

Some grass in the lovely Lemon Lime Twist.

A very quick scene to "paint"!  I used the sentiment I thought 

went well with these two flamingos stamped in Tranquil Tide. 

 I know of a few others from other sets I will try another time.

It need something in the corner so I used a little Coral banner and thick white twine

bow to finish it off.

Extra Ordinary Shells

I was going for fast, simple... and did I say fast?

I stamped the shells across in not a perfect order 

with Sahara Sand ink from the So Many Shells stamp set.

 I then used a wonderful sentiment from that set

stamped in Island Indigo.

I layered the white and Indigo card stock a little off and wrapped some 

linen thread around.

I placed them on a Sahara Sand base for that fast and simple card.

I hope you have a fab Friday and thanks for stopping by!
