Ambreen

Hello I hope you are enjoying your Summer, it has been really nice here, not too HOT. As long as it stays in the high 70's we are ok. Well I do have a new card to share with you. I made this one between breakfast and lunch, it just seems like I never get out of the kitchen.



I used Ambreen Portable available at Stamp Enjoy. I really enjoyed coloring this pretty girl with her really long hair, I used really deep turquoise on her to kind of match my papers.



Thank you for your visit and enjoy your day!!

Totally Gorjuss Challenge #83 Sketch

Hello welcome to my blog, this is a Scheduled Post we should be at the River in Laughland,Nevada. The kids are really excited and are really looking forward to our trip. Hopefully I can have some pictures next week to share with you.We are coming back on Sunday evening.



So it's time for another Challenge at Totally Gorjuss and this week our challenge is a Sketch, and it's really fun and easy. So here's my take on the Sketch, I used a Stamped image from Hanglar Stanglar. Colored this boy image with Copic Markers, I really left some shading for a more water color look.



I left my card pretty blank for that male recipient, just some fun papers from Tim Holtz and some seam binding ribbon.

Thanks for peeking in and I hope you have a wonderful Saturday!!

Have a Special Birthday!

Hello thanks for peeking in today on my blog, I have a fun card to share with you using this elegant Stamped image from Stamp Enjoy called Chaise 1. It's nice to have these type of images in your stamp stash for elegant cards like this one.



I colored my image with Copic Markers, these papers are really old by Making Memories, Check out the button that compliments the bow. It's got a fabric print on it given to me by my Sweet cousin!



My sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps, Yup I love these Party Mini Letter Seals which I distressed all around with walnut stain. My flowers are from IamRoses, I added just a bit of stickles glitter for a nice shine! Thanks for your sweet comments and for stopping by!!
