Elegant Blossom

 I have had this die for quite some time and I even made it up shortly after purchasing it and then I put it away in the package for further use, and I am finally bringing it out to play.  I colored some of it with markers and did a little inking on it. I added some rubons to the pattern paper, along with some of the new washi tape I saw on Amazon and just had to have it, just as you see that border that is how it comes, pretty cool huh!

• 49 and Market - Coral Mini Collection 6x6 papers, Vintage Artistry Coral & Natural Rubons ( Crochet and spots)

We got almost 4 inches of rain on Saturday, everything has greened up again, so thankful for the rain and that it came down steady all day instead of all at once, so we didn't have to worry about flooding :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and hope you have a great week!

Bees

 Paper Rose studio does a beautiful job with their ephemera and papers in their card kits, so hard to pass up :)

• Paper Rose Studio - Bees & Butterflies Quick Card Collection
• Queen & Co. - Yellow Sunshine Pearls

So nice when everything is in the card kit, all you have to do is put it together and add a few pearls too :)

We are actually supposed to get rain after we have not had any in weeks, just praying for slow steady and not too heavy since it is supposed to be an all day ordeal.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, enjoy your weekend,

Masculine Birthdays

 I have two cards to share today, my nephew and his son have their birthdays just a few days from each other and I finished these cards on the same day, using the same paper pack, so I thought I would share them here together.  My great nephews card I used all papers from the pack, just cut the numbers and background from different pieces of paper. You can probably tell my great nephew is turning 15.

• DCWV - Tattered Time paper
• Studio G - Alphabet stamps (I hand wrote in the 2) on ticket

For My nephews card I did go with some rub ons and sticker tags I found at the $store, along with some other goodies.

• DCWV - Tattered Time paper
• Crafter's Square - Tag sticker and Gold Fern Rub on (to the left of tag)
• Tim Holtz - Curator stamps (bottom left ephemera)
• 49 and Market - Curator Meadow Faux stamp
• Recollections - Brad

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

• Hero Arts - It's your day sentiment stamp
