Hello, can you believe July is over! July sure was a fun, busy month for the Lopez family and friends!

The card stock is navy not black, from MFT

I stamped the stripes at a bit of an angle, using my Waltzingmouse Stamps. I also used my Mama Elephant products.  I was so happy to get the dies for this sweet little set  they have been out for a while ...I got lucky one day, then they were out again. The small hearts are from Wpuls9.

Cant wait to see what you make!

The Cutting Edge Challenge #5!

I am so happy I was reminded of this fun challenge by Bev

 

I needed to get this one in quick, ending soon, so you still have some time if you hurry! I kept forgetting about this challenge, not anymore! I stamped my flowers with Tim Holtz distressed markers then gave a very fine water spritz. The flowers and sentiment are from Papertrey Ink, sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I know how busy you all are!

Blessings!

I Gave It A Try!

Just Playing Around

Reverse Confetti

Good morning! My DH played golf early this morning so I had some time in my craft room. I decided to play around with some of my: new and first purchases from Reverse Confetti. The Flower is from Serendipity Stamps. I did have to take this apart once and I kinda messed up my stripe panel. 

Hope you have a Nice Sunday!

Yes, it looks like I used my  Stitches & Swirls Stamp Set for another blog hop! :) It just worked ! I focussed on the tinny flowers with the needle and thread, and the gingham envelope. I used an old Valentine pack of paper. 

I have not been home much , very busy summer. So sorry I am behind on my commenting. 

Enjoy the hop! 

God Bless

Make It Monday #173: No Outline Watercolor

byHeather

Only this card below is for the MIM challenge.

  

This card below is stamped and painted with shimmer watercolor paints I found at Michael’s Craft

 This last card was first heat embossed then painted with the shimmer paints. I think I like this one best.  

Hi! The first card is made for MIM. I am not happy with the results and will try again, if I find the time. I do love the technique! I dropped my stamp on the finished card but still decided to post it. 

Thanks ! 

God Bless

I was asked to cool off!

Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog

The design team has been asked to : Cool off! I decided to use cool colors, this is Royal Velvet, not black. Also still use twine. All you have to do is use twine and Serendipity Stamps or dies on your card. 

A random winner will receive a sampler package of assorted twine from : The Twinery!  

Curtain Call is celebrating their 1st. anniversary

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello , I hope life is treating you well!

 I wanted to make an CAS card.  I masked off my bird and then stamped the feather, added a bit of sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I used a tiny bit of Glossy Accents to add my twine , it kept it in place very nicely.  Did you notice I cut the tail off my word die again. I love the elegant tail but need to place it close to the bird. I love how it give it another look.  

Please check out what the rest of the design team has made.
