Wink of  Stella

After coloring the dragon I added shimmer with Wink of Stella. The dragon and his flames are popped up with Dimensionals.  I thought this sentiment from Sheltering Tree was perfect for a dragon.

This dragon reminds me of the Curvy Keepsake Dragon I designed, you can see it here.

Watercooler Wednesday Challenge 151 - Charlotte's Feminine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Charlotte is hosting the challenge this week!

I love this retired stamp of a peacock.

The image is stamped with Memento Ink and colored with Stampin' Blends. The colors used are Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight for the bird and Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive on the flowers. I used Wink of Stella on the bird to add sheen to the feathers.

The cardstock is Whisper White and Island Indigo. The sentiment is from Sheltering Tree and is stamped with Rich Razzleberry Ink.

Remarkable You II

I used Remarkable You and again stamped 3 flowers in the corner using Memento Ink. I colored the flowers with Pink Pirouette, Old Olive, and Bronze Stampin' Blends. The Shadows in the corner is Pool Party Stampin' Blend. The sentiment for this card is from Sheltering Tree. The Cardstock is Powder Pink, Basic Black, and Whisper White.

WWC94 - Heidi's Simply Stamping Challenge

 "Simply Stamping" is a return to basics.  We expect either one single stamped layer or a base with one single layer on that.  We expect simple stamping.  You can use masking, heat embossing, stencilling, sponging.  You cannot use an embossing folder or embellishments or additional layers (not even a tag). 

I failed to read our own guideline when I first made a card for this challenge and had to go back to the drawing board. This time I made a very simple CAS card. 

I don't drink coffee or tea so I haven't collected any of those type stamps so this was hard because of lack of stamps, however Touches of Texture does have coffee rings and I did use Early Espresso CS and ink. I also used Sheltering Tree and Dapper Denim 

In all honesty the train needed at least one more color but if I had added one it wouldn't fit the challenge ;).

The Wacky Watercooler March Madness Blog Hop!

We are hopping again and this time it is March Madness!  Basketball? Not always!! Just the madness this time of year brings, in some areas it is wishing for warmth and the end of snow, maybe it is just needing to slow down, the madness is different for everyone. My personal "madness" is spring clean up and those DYI projects that I am hoping with help as a selling appeal as we get our house ready to sell.

As usual, our Blog Hop runs in a circular fashion.  No matter where in the list of participants you begin, inevitably you'll wind up in the exact same place again if you keep going to the "next" blog.  It works the same way whether you conform to the usual forward movement through the blog posts or if you're a rebel and work your way through in reverse order.

If you hopped over from Linda's blog I am sure you found inspiration. If you are starting here, keep on hopping!

This time of year we are usually wishing for warmer winter, this year we are just wondering what happened to snow and worrying about the drought that will be hitting if we don't get a wet spring/summer. My trees are already blossoming almost a month early, I noticed a few gardens already planted as I was driving about town(gardens go in AFTER Mother's day!). So my first card is early spring.

He brought flyer size (7 1'8" x10 1/8")movie posters home that are in Japanese. We made a 27" x 40" collage of posters and then mounted 9 on Basic Black CS and mounted them on top of the collage.
