  Make it Monday #333: Layering Patterns Over Images 

With Dawn McVey

Dawns beautiful set of cards

Hi there and Happy Birthday to one of my granddaughters! (13 today)!

I love this new Forest Floor Autumn set from Papertrey Ink!

I almost didn't buy it, so glad I did as the dies sold out fast.

I think you can still get the stamps .

The card above is for MIM . I didn't have a Papertrey Ink background stamp  large enough so I used MFT : Bundles of Blossoms . I made the Just a Note card first and wanted to try the background  stamp on a second one.

The one above uses the dies and I have Glossy Accents on both. 

Thanks for the visit and you are so kind to take the time to comment, I know I am bad at that.

Can you tell I would like fall to come to CA!

So excited my : Tim Holtz tonic 194E glass media came today.

God Bless You

Challenge #24 – Anything Goes

Hello! Hope you are all doing well!

We have been very busy with projects around the house. When we are not working on the house we are relaxing around the pool and enjoying our yard ( It's the simple things we love best) We always enjoy our time with family and friends.

Looking forward to cooler weather someday .....

I am so happy I finally got this  City Stacks   set I think it has so many possibilities. 

It was out of stock at Concord and 9th so 

I bought mine at Simon Says Stamps.

I colored this in with my Zig brush pens after I heat embossed.

Watercolored Autumn Wreath

Hello and welcome to the second Serendipity Stamps  Hop for the Month

of August! All you have to do is leave a comment for a chance to win a $20 Certificate to the 

Serendipity Stamps store.

I cant tell you enough how much I love this Autumn Wreath! 

Because it's a rubber stamp, the image comes out amazingly clear!

I stamped the image then heat embossed with gold. Colored in with my Zigbrush pens.

 I love coloring when I have already embossed ... helps me stay in the lines :) 

I very quickly was able to fussy cut the outer edge then put some foam behind it and added it to a watercolor paper.  This card makes me happy hope you like it too!

Hi friends!

As soon as I saw Melissa's gorgeous card I knew this was the one I wanted to try 

and recreate with the stamps I already had. 

:Leaf Prints Stamps and Dies from Papertrey Ink and Botanical Silhouettes. 

I cannot wait to get my hands on the new stamp

that Melissa used on her amazing card

           Create Along With Us: August 2018           

I was able to make a second card with the leftover scraps!

 This did take a bit of time to make without the new stamps but I am pretty happy with it!

Some Felt Christmas Pins

Hi ! I made a few beaded Christmas pins out of regular dies from Poppystamps.

Hello and welcome to the July 12 Kits of Occasions!

 I am the host for the month of July. I wanted the kit to be 
 easy to create, with fresh bright colors and
 images of summer. 

Something about this fresh lemon and lime stamp that I just love!

I bought it with , Linda, Colleen and Darnell at Impress Cards and Crafts

Keeping this card simple , I added the new "Best Wishes " die from Poppy Stamps

 For the card above I used : Carta Bella : Summer Splash, along with Papertrey Ink 

Bitty Big and On the Wagon for the surfboard and palm trees. 

I added Glossy accents to the boat, pink bush, surfboard and palm tree.  

Card above I used Purple Onion Design Stacey Yacula  : 

Floral Wreath and Sleeping Mouse.

This card I colored in with Zig brush pens . Stamp used : 

Pretty Pink Posh Flourishing Fuchsias. It's layered on top

of the Poppystamps : Delicate Branch Collage

 This one was so fun! I used another scene form Carta Bella paper. 

The Bus is from Purple onion along with the snail . Palm

tree from Papertrey Ink : On the wagon. 

Thanks so much for the visit today.
