Merry Christmas - Make My Monday #131

Monday September 14, 2020

Hello... Guess what???

I am now on the Make My Monday design team... I am so excited. I love that I can use my own images which I have such a big stash of and they are screaming to be used more often..

Make My Monday challenge #131

Theme for these two weeks is

CHRISTMAS IN SEPTEMBER

For my card I am using a gifted stamp I received from my dear blog friend Lisa Peronto.. I feel she is like a sister even though we've never met but been on a dt together and communicate often through messenger.. For this card I heat embossed in Simon Says gold the Sheena design image, then used my Mission gold watercolors and painted the images. I stamped the image twice so I could put the Merry Christmas from Hero Arts in the center. I painted the background but now wish I hadn't ... but it's too late. It's too bright and I even went over it wish a damp paper towel to remove some of the paint. Still too bright. I added a few sequins.

Monday September 14, 2020

Helloooo... I have a card to share for the new challenge we have at

Always Fun Challenge #180

Our theme this week is CREATE A SCENE

For my card I used the thin die from Simon Says and then laid out the Sugar Pea design images to see what I could create.. I used Ranger ink and my ground stencil and added a little blue to the sky. I then set it aside and stamped the images. I colored with copics and used the dies to cut out.. I I used foam dots on the cute foxes and pumpkins. I added to a scrap of Quick quote designer paper. I stamped the Sugar Pea sentiment. I love how this came out and I am loving using these thin frame dies.

Hello.. I have a card to share for the new challenge going on over at Crafty Sentiments.

Our theme is ANYTHING GOES

I am using the fun image called Isobel clearing leaves. I colored her with copics. I used Lil inker stitch die. I dug through my scraps and found this paper that worked perfect with my coloring of the image. I always wait .. I ALMOST always wait till I am done coloring before I pick designer papers.. I have so much I know something will stand out.. lol.. I stamped the Sugar Pea sentiment and added some twine and Gerda Steiner leaves/acorn which are watercolored.
