Hello sorry it's been a while since my last post, I have been busy with family matters, nothing to worry about just the kids activities! Well it's the last of the month, boy where has this month gone, way too fast in my opinion!!
I have a few cards to show you using stamps from Marks Finest Papers March release.
My first card is using African Veldt stamp set, I went with a birthday theme card. I colored this image with my good old Prisma colored Pencils!
My second card is using Fish You Were Here stamp set, I wanted an I miss you card. The background craft paper was stamped with small fishes and then just glued some vellum paper over it. Love this foggy look. This image was colored with Copic Markers.
My third card is using Grandma's Boudoir, I love this sentiment that comes in this set!! This image was colored with Prisma colored pencils.
Thank you for swinging by and for your sweet comments!!

Dandylions!
Hello thanks for peeking in, Today I want to share two cards I made using the stamp set "Just Dandy" from Marks Finest Papers. I have always loved Dandylions and when I saw this set my jaw dropped. You really have to check it out!
These two cards were ready in no time, using this set you can get cards done in no time. Sometimes we need a greeting card right away and this is a great stamp set to get them done quickly.
I embossed the image with white embossing powder and then I just rubbed slowly ink all over my image for that cute look!

Fairy Lily Sitting on Flower
Hello thanks for peeking in, I just got mt DT package from In2Stamps with all the new release of new stamps and I could'nt wait to ink this cutie up and use it for this weeks Challenge on Totally Gorjuss which is Buttons, really easy we all have buttons in our stash and they add the perfect accent to any project!
My image is called Fairy Lily Sitting on Flower, available at In2Stamps. I colored her with Copic Markers. This image is really large so I left my card pretty plain, not too many embellishments, just some cute flowers from IamRoses so you could appreciate the cute image!

I did a little shopping yesterday for my Birthday, I got the 12 New Copic Sketch Markers (SMILING) at my local Art Supply Store, I can't wait to play around with these new colors!!
