Have a Beautiful Day


 Good evening. I just finished up a card that I will be linking over at Freshly Made Sketches. I just picked up my  IN Color Ink Pads and was anxious to use several of the new colors. When I saw the sketch I knew I wanted to use these sweet butterflies from MFT Spread Your Wings and one of the sentiments that came with it. I colored the butterflies with a water brush and then added Wink of Stella when they were dry. I felt it just adds a little more depth to the images.






PRODUCTS:
MFT Spread Your Wings, 
MFT Stitched Sentiments Strips
SU 3D Texture Embossing Folder
Paper: Neenah Solar White #80, SU Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia

That will be all for tonight. I'm off to clean up my craft area then listen to a podcast. I hope you have a great Sunday and can do something crafty.

Blessings, Bernadette

Happy Blooming Birthday

 

Tonight I am posting a card that I will be linking over at CAS Colours & Sketches #427 and AAA Birthday Game #27. I had a somewhat difficult time knowing how to incorporate the colors or decide on a design. I looked at sketches by CAS to see if I could get a jump start on my creativity. I looked at several designs and choose the one below from an older Double Challenge posted in Jan. 2017 #208

The flower is from an older SU stamp set, Secret Garden that had matching dies. I used a SU embossing folder for the bottom half and the sentiment is from SU's older stamp set, Flower Patch. I stamped the flower with Jet Black Stazon ink and colored the flower using Crushed Curry applied with a Water Brush on Watercolor paper. 






That will be all for this evening. I'm off to watch some news and card videos. I hope you have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!
 
Blessings, Bernadette
