Next on the hop is the super sweet and equally talented Angela Bode

For my first card, I used the Upside Down Smiles Stamps. I took an exacto and cut out a few of the letters so I could make a shaker card. Super Fun!

Here's another take of this super cute stamp, but this time I added a rainbow and the sun with the 

Share a Rainbow Stamp Set. It is such a cute set and I will feature some more cards with it tomorrow!!!

Have fun on the hop and good luck for winning!!!

Old is New

In the Garden

Good Morning!!!

Today's theme is to create a Garden Themed Card

I decided to go with an older image from Gary Roberston Called 

Daffodil Pots. The cool thing about this image, is you can purchase it in Rubber, or in Digi Form

I used a digi image for this card, which is 5x7 so I could blow up the image to a nice size for watercolouring!

I added some black and white spatters  and some sparkly stickles for interest!

This card is going to a dear friend who is celebrating a Birthday very soon!!

I LOVE this sentiment and use it quite a lot on my cards!!!!

You can find it HERE

Be sure to go to the IO blog to see who else is sharing today!!!!

Love & Hugs

Alicorn Happiness

Good Morning!

 

I have another share for you from TLC Designs Stamps

I created this card with the most adorable set called Alicorn Happiness

You can find it in Tammy-Louise's shop now!!!

I created the background with Oxide Inks, A Starry Background Stamp and some embossing powder!

I coloured the sweet little Alicorns with Prismacolor Pencils and some sparkly gel pen.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment onto an oval piece and sponged the color in with the oxides!

I can't wait to create more fun cards with these sweet little fellas!!! Well Maybe they are ladies....but I do know they are Stinkin' Cute!!!!

Have an AMAZING day!!!

I am absolutely Smitten with this Lotus image.

The Lotus carries a great deal of meaning for me as it is a symbol of beauty that emerges through the mud and the muck to show it's beauty.

It is a Buddhist Symbol of Rebirth and Enlightenment.

To me it shows despite enduring hardship in life, we can make it through those difficult times to emerge stronger and more beautiful each time we conquer our fears, resolve conflict and heal emotionally, physically and psychically.

I stamped and heat embossed the Lotus image in White

This image is Lotus Flower 1

 I painted the image in with watercolours, using a combination of Daniel Smith and Prima Marketing Watercolours.

To finish off the card, I added the 

Brighter Days ahead sentiment.

Next on the Hop:

Have an AMAZING day!!!

Good Morning!!!
