what a fun card this was to create...a one layer card at that! I have used a flower stamp and my misti to stamp the flowers and then created the sky with tim holtz ink and sponging. I then used the large sentiment stamp from impression obsession with my misti to get a crisp black bold color overtop of the scene. A sweet crd that was easy to make and has a big statement. I can't wait to see what you create this week!

words with meaning - It's not how big the house is, it's how happy the home is.

word art wednesday: anything uplifting goes

as you see it - happy days

hello friends and happy fri-YAY! I am sharing with you my take on this weeks as you see it color challenge...I must admit I was a bit stumped at first...none of these colors rank high on my list...lol. I n=knew I wanted to use the stamp market stamps to create red flowers and from there it took off, kinda like the outcome! I used tim holtz distressed inks on the flowers and spritzed with a bit of water before stamping onto watercolor paper. These flowers are from the set fun florals. A happy card for ya today to take happy days into the weekend...enjoy!

words with meaning - hard times will always reveal true friends.
