Leave It Bare

I am adding this to  

Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday

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

Hello Die .

MAKE IT MONDAY #258: Cover Plate Tags

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!

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

Kay’s  beautiful and elegant card above and 

my overfilled card below.

So happy I ordered that wish bone, it sold out first!

I made this yesterday and wasn’t  going to post because it is so cluttered compared to the card Kay made but I won’t have time to make another so I am positing it anyway. The only thing that looks the same is the red bow, lol :) I fussy cut the leaves out.
Sorry this has been a busy week for me about the only commenting I have had time for is on Instagram  Hope to get back in the swing of things soon.
