Leave It Bare



I am adding this to  
Play Here

Hey there!
 We have a new challenge and boy oh boy it’s an easy one! 
Leave it bare! I often leave an image bare so this one is my 
cup of tea.


I used one of the cut outs from Storybook 1 Dies  that can be purchased at the 
Serendipity Stamps store! I smooched inks, sprayed with a fine mist of water then placed my paper on top.
I made a few splatters with my gold ink pen and colored over the

Spooky Smiles Halloween Tag





Playing along in Laurie’s MIM with cover plates on tags!
 Hello! I made this the other day but didn’t have time to post.



Im so excited to have the first sets from Kay!
I only had a bit of time but knew I wanted to add them 
to my tag. I used: Spooky Smiles Stamp Set


I blended ink then stamped the image. 
I had a bit of black strip on the top to the tag and didn’t like it
 so I added a white layer over the very tip of the tag.
Love the new sets from Kay! 
Better hurry they are going fast!

Hope you have a great day , friends!

Seize the Birthday
Make a tag, we have many October
birthdays.

Birthday Cake Anyone!


CAS(E) this Sketch #186
 Hi there again, sorry so many post in one week.

I was so happy to see this beautiful sketch and saw it as a way to share my cake card
with this amazing new set from Concord & 9th  Happy Day  stamp. 
 I saw the triangles as the slanted flowers bordering the bottom of the cake. 


I couldn’t make up my mind which one I liked best so I posted both


I used my Zig pens on both, one is more watercolored, the other is 
with just the pens and less water. I also added some: Nuvo Crystal Glitter Drops  to the cake.

Thank you for the visit!
Hope you have a great weekend!




 Simon Says: Summer Fun
It's my birthday month so
always summer fun with a cake.
 Simon Says: Make For The Border
The flowers border my cake :)
Anything Goes!
