Inspired By All the Little Things #65:

This fun scene inspired me to make a tag for a care package that I sent to Austin

at Bible college.

I started by stamping my Mama Elephant Three Amigo stamp onto a 

piece of watercolour paper that I diecut using PTI's Tag Sale #7  

in versafine onyx black ink and heat embossed it in clear.

I masked his bottom half and selectively stamped the mushroom from the SSS/Reverse Confetti

Stamptember stamp set from last year called Forest Friends.

I coloured them in with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers and a water brush,

as well as the grass and background. 

I attached it with some Reverse Confetti twine to a bag of Butter Crunch

a placed it at the top of a box filled with new socks, mini-chocolate bars,

granola bars, a Marvel surprise toy & some deodorant.

Austin texted to say he got it and said: "You guys are awesome!" :)

The Card Concept #77 {Weathered Florals}

Today, I have four cards to share that I made, 

inspired by The Card Concept #77 {Weathered Florals}:

Isn't it gorgeous?

Our church hosts the birthday party every September for the residents

at the Tabor Home (our local nursing home.)

For the past five or so years, now, I've been asked to make cards for the 

residents who have birthdays this month.

This year, I needed to make four feminine cards and one masculine card.

This photo was absolutely perfect inspiration for me to make the feminine cards!

I decided to use my Wplus9 Modern Peonies to make them.

I started by stamping the leaves, bud and sentiment onto watercolour paper

in versafine onyx black ink and heat embossing them in clear.

Then, I coloured them in using my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers

and a water brush and ran them through my diecutting machine with my

Papertrey Ink Woodgrain Impression Plate.

I diecut repeated this stamping and colouring with the bloom and diecut them

out using their coordinating die, before adhering it to the card.

I matted it on Reverse Confetti cardstock.

I decided to colour each of them differently...

Thanks for looking!

MFT Wednesday Sketch 348

Today, I have a card to share for MFT Wednesday Sketch 348:

My nephew and his wife had a baby earlier this week

-- Juniper Claire -- and I wanted to make them a card

to accompany the adorable receiving blankets Sage & I picked out for them.

Because of her name, I wanted to include some trees on my card,

so I used my MFT Forest Friends set.

I started by trimming some white cardstock and smooshing some

PTI Hawaiian Shores and Green Parakeet inks mixed with water

onto two panels, which I trimmed down for my card.

I stamped the trees and bear in versafine onyx black ink and heat embossed

them in clear before colouring them in with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers

and a water brush.

I diecut them with their coordinating diecuts and adhered them to my card. 

Before smooshing the green panel, I stamped it with my Reverse Confetti sentiment 

(from Bear Hugs) and heat embossed it in clear, so it wouldn't smudge.
