Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Saturday: You Make My Heart Sing!

Happy Saturday Friends!  Hope you're all having a wonderful day and that some of you get to enjoy the longer Memorial Holiday weekend!  I've been under the weather this week with the "Sicky Bugs" which have been been passing through my household lately.  I'm a little disappointed that I am still having to recoup during his holiday weekend.  However, I am also thankful I will have some extra time to hopefully rest up and get better!  Well,  to cheer me up this weekend, I made a fun and cheerful card to share with you all!  

Here it is...

This cutie comes from the adorable TGF Magical Kit.  She's one of the newbies in that set and I absolutely love her!!!  I colored her up with my copics and then added Wink of Stella all over her dress and flowers in her hair. The lovely papers in the background are from a collection called Dear Lizzy Neopolitan by American Crafts.  These backgrounds are so pretty!  The sentiment also came from the set which was pretty cool.   To finish off my card, I added some roses, twine and sequins...my favorite embellies!

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Magical Kit - The Greeting Farm

Copic Markers

Dear Lizzy Neopolitan - American Crafts

Red Barn - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Clear Glitter Brush Marker - Wink of Stella

Roses - Wild Orchid Crafts

Memento  Tuxedo Black - Tsukineko

I'm entering my card in the TGF Farm Fresh Friday Challenge - Put a Bow on it!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy Memorial Day!

Hugs,

TGF Farm Fresh Friday Challenge: Wings!

Hello Friends and happy TGIF!  I am hosting the FFF challenge this week on The Greeting Farm Blog.  For the theme this week, I'm using one of my favorites of all time and that is "Wings"!!!  I know this theme has been popular with the recent challenges and I just couldn't resist myself as I love Fairies, Butterflies and Angels so much!  

   Here is my card for some inspiration...

This adorable little Bean gal is "Shiny Bean" and she comes from the new Magical Kit which has all of the stamps from this collection!  I just love this kit and "Shiny" is one of my new favorites.   So I used the same technique and even background stamp which I used for a recent inspiration post.  I just love the vibrant colors and watercolor effect that came out from using my Tim Holtz distress inks against the white embossing and some clear glimmer mist.  I knew I just had to make another one of these fun backgrounds and you can be sure that it won't be my last!  For my sweet girl, I colored her up with my copics and then added some Wink of Stella to her outfit and some stickles to her wings and jewel.  She is so full of pretty sparkle!!! :)  For the cloud background, I used one of my scallop die cuts and lightly sponged more distress ink over this to create this background.  I thought it came out pretty cool!  To finish off my card, I tied in some pink jute rope and added a handful of sequins.

Please check out The Greeting Farm blog to get the details on this challenge and to see the other fabulous creations from the DT Girls!  

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

TGF Farm Fresh Friday Challenge: A Lovely Day!

 

Happy TGIF Friends!!! I'm so happy the weekend is here because boy have a I had a crazy hectic week!  Work has been busy but it's mostly home life which has been keeping us on the go non-stop.  I'm not sure if I mentioned but this year, I have my 3 kids in 3 different schools!!!  I felt the stress of it during 1st Day of school a few weeks back when I wanted to be there for all of them!  This week was not as bad but pretty crazy as well with Back to School Nights all week.  At least they were all on different nights and Thursday night was the last one!  Phew!!! Now I can rest a little before the next round of school events! LOL  Anyways, sorry to vent and let's get on to our FFF Challenge this week.  The  theme is the ever so popular "Anything Goes"!!!

Here's my card...

This Bean Collection is one of my favorites and coloring one of these adorable images always makes me happy (and less stressed! LOL)   This is one of my favorites and she's called "Winky Bean".  She's not sold separately at this time but the great news is that she is part of the fantastic Magical Kit along with other sweet Beans! :)

Please check out The Greeting Farm blog to see the super amazing projects the DT Farmers have to share with you all!  Enjoy your weekend and I'll be back soon!
