Today, I have two cards to share.
The first one is a Clean & Simple card to share that I made
I just love this beautiful image!
I decided to use my Ellen Hutson Mondo Hydrangea stamp set to create my card.
I started by stamping my hydrangeas two different shades of Altenew Ink: Lavender Fields & Midnight Violet.
Then, using my MISTI, I stamped them in the same spot again in versamark and heat embossed them in clear.
I did a little masking and then stamped the leaves, using the same technique, but with Altenew Forest Glades.
Then, I used my Zig Markers, a paintbrush and some water to colour in my flowers.
I coloured with a Zig marker onto my acrylic block, added water and using a paintbrush,
added colour to a strip of Crate Paper text patterned paper.
Once it was dry, I adhered it behind my panel.
The sentiment is from Altenew's Best Mom, which I stamped on a piece of black
cardstock and heat embossed in white.
A few rainstones finish it off.
My second card is for the Muse Card Challenge #164:
I was immediately inspired by Michele's beautiful card.
I stamped the watering can and tools using PTI's Garden Variety
and filled the watering can with Wplus9 Fresh Cut Florals.
I decided to use my new PTI Inspired Faith stamps to stamp the sentiment.
I had a bit of a smudge on my cardstock, so I added a PTI Colour Pop Butterfly
to cover it up.
Thanks for looking!

Two beauties Leigh. I love how you added all the color to the first and the adorableness of the second.
Wow. Two beauties! I really like the softness of your second. So calming.

I have just got myself a mini MISTI and am so excited to see I can do amazing things with it!! Gorgeous creations - always amazed at the colours you use, they are always so soft and subtle. Xx

Both of these cards are so beautiful Leigh. I love the colour you have used on the first flower and the scene for the second card is so pretty.
Both cards are beautiful! Where do the smudges come from? I think that I'm being careful and then I look down and there it is - always at the end of the panel. I'm glad that I'm not the only one. Although, I didn't notice that the butterfly wasn't totally intentional. LOVE!
Great cards! The mondo hydrangea is one of my all time fave stamps...love your color choices & watercolor treatment! :) tfs~ Terry Y.
