Sincere Thanks

 Just jumping on here late tonight with a card that I will be linking for the weekly challenge over at CAS C&S. I used Altenews Striped Florals Stamp Set to incorporate the colors for the challenge. The flowers were stamped on watercolor paper and colored with SU Stampin Write markers and Gina K Peach Bellini ink. I finished the flowers and leaves with Wink of Stella to add more brightness to the color of the florals. To finish the card I chose a sentiment from MFT's Bitty Thanks and Gratitude.

That is it for tonight. I have family coming in for the Easter holiday tonight so 

                     I need to get off to be able to greet them.

Have a Blessed and Happy Easter

Bernadette

Best Wishes

I'm here today posting a card I made to link over at the CAS C&S challenge. I wanted to use this cute little Bee from  Altenews Mini Die: Bee Kind. Although I considered several different colors to use with the Bee I decided on a black and white combination. 

I used Neenah Solar White#110 for the base, MFT Road Trippin paper 6x6 for the strips, and the sentiment is from MFT Happy Hummingbirds. The added color on the Bee was stamped with Tim Holtz Distress in, Scattered Straw. This bee was very user-friendly. It stamped well, lined up with the body and the die very easily.

That's it for this card. I plan on making a card using an MFT Stamp and Die-namic that I haven't used. Actually, I have several of those!

Have a wonderful day and stay well.

Blessings, Bernadette

Masculine Happy Birthday

 I just a quick drop-in today. I just finished up a card that I will be putting over on two challenges, Freshly Made Sketches and Seize the Birthday. I decided that I would use this as a Masculine card even though it has some BLING on it. I always need more masculine Birthday Cards in my Birthday Box.

I used the three shades of Green using 3 SU papers, Kraft paper was used for the background which  I used the SU 3D Textured EF to give the paper some interest. The rectangles were layered onto an old heavy, off-white speckled SU paper. Sorry, but I can't remember the name of the product.

The remainder of the products used will be in the sidebar of the post.

Have a great rest of the day! Stay Well and Stay Healthy.

Blessings, Bernadette

Happy Birthday To You

 Just a quick post today. I originally made the card below to post over at Freshly Made Sketches and Seize the Birthday. Unfortunately, I MISSED both deadlines. Oh, well this will still go into my birthday stash and be used since we have birthdays every month through the year except July.

I chose SU Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaron, and Balmy Blue as my color palette. The bird was colored in Altenews Eastern Sky and SU Mint Macaron. I painted the branch with Tim Holtz Ground Espresso and the sentiment was inked with Versa Fine Black Ink. The bling is from SU's Holiday Rhinestone collection.

That is it for today. I hope all of you have stayed safe. The weather around the country sure looks dangerous. Here in our part of NC, we are seeing sunny skies and warmer temperatures, but that is not going to last say the Meteorologists. 

Blessings, Bernadette
