Some exciting news to share!





I have a bit of exciting news to share (well for me anyway) I am now on the Design Team for Poppystamps . You can see here: Introducing New Design Team Members



Festive Friday Challenge #40 (September 12-24)
I fell in love with this inspiration photo!



Adding this to the Fusion challenge since its shinny and pink!

  
Good morning or what ever time of day or night it might be by you! 

I am using one of my favorite stamps from Serendipity Stamps again. Now that I have done Two (here) Christmas cards using this fall wreath, you know I will be using it again for FALL :) I love using my watercolors after its heat embossed. 
I had a very difficult time photographing this one so you can see the shimmer. I also added some Perfect Pearls on top to tone down the pink and gold paint. 

Hope you have a great week!
It’s going to be 104 again today! 
Very hot!

I am going to call this my: BUTMS... Been Used Too Much Stamp! Like Darnell’s NBUS
Autumn Wreath Lg
from 
Serendipity Stamps 
 Cardstock is from Papertrey Ink
Sentiment Stamp is from Hobby Lobby Stampabilities

    Love the BUTMS acronym, but with a versatile stamp like this I can see why, as you have transformed the fruit ito sugarplums :)

  32. Congratulations and totally deserved! I can see why you use this stamp so much (and I have quite a few BUTMS in my stash too....), its so pretty and you did so well capturing the shine with your photo. I did a similar technique and had no luck at all. Such a pretty card, I would make hundreds of these and know they would all be very well received!
