mojo monday/mojo437-happy birthday

hello friends, I have used some old SU felt flowers...actually surprised I still have them...lol. They are super duper cute, so I hung on to them....I adore the sweet color combo from the color throwdown, so I played along with them. The sketch I kept at an A2 size, I usually do not make square cards. I used some time holtz distress ink, embossing paste, bakers twine and the sweet flowers. I used a plain jane from Verve stamps for the birthday sentiment. Add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine, kindness!

mojo monday/mojo436-have a happy day

good morning friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was super fast, had to work Saturday and that always makes for a fast weekend. I have used tim holtz distress inks to hand paint my flowers using a paint brush....YES, you read it correct, that was my first attempt to free style painting flowers...not perfect but so, so. You should give it a try, it was fun and the choice of flowers are endless...go for it! I used the Verve sentiment from the set be blessed. I was inspired by the gorgeous flower image at inspired by over on Lesley's blog..check it out.

your next stamp feature day-{heart} coffee

hi friends, it is time for the feature day at your next stamp, I have used the sweet stamp set called coffee is boss. Once I had cut the scalloped square shape, I thought of a postage stamp, it would be cool to create a postage stamp using the coffee set. The USPS could use some help with creating pretty stamps and a coffee series of stamps would be awesome; don't you think? I made my card more on the vintage side after the postage stamp idea came up, I added a gold glittery heart and some gold striped washi tape. Be sure to check out how the team answered the feature day challenge. Add a little glimmer to your life...sparkle & shine, kindness!

I am playing along with a couple of challenges using one of my favorite stamp companies stamps; concord & 9th...luv!
