Life's too short....

It's finally starting to feel like Spring here on the West Coast so I decided I wanted to make a card to celebrate it.  I've been having so much fun over the last few months making cards with scenes on them and this one is no exception.  I was at my local stamp store a few days ago and they had just received a new order of Memory Box dies.... Insert cha-ching!!! I barely made it two feet into the door and I had three in my hand including this fabulous bike.  The rest of the dies are a mixture of MFT and Memory Box that I've acquired over time.  The sentiment on my card which I think is perfect for this card is from the Stamping Bella set called Uptown Girl Vienna on her Vespa.

A little smooch

Hi there!!! I'm back again with a fun card for this week's Stamping Bella challenge which was all about Blinging it up. I decided to ink up Kiss me a fool for the first time and had fun playing with it.  I needed a wedding card for a friend of my parents and thought this would be perfect.  I stamped the image with Versafine Onyx Black, embossed with clear embossing and watercolored with Tombow Markers.  

Next week's challenge is a sketch!! Love it!!

SC433 Birds on a Wire

Hey there!!! I rarely get to participate in the SCS challenges on the day they are issued but as soon as I saw this week's Sketch challenge, I knew I needed to play. Let's just say if it has a circle, I  always love the sketch. For my card I used the Stamping Bella image called "Thinking Birds"  that I stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then sponged some Dandelion and Pumpkin Pie ink.  Easy peasy!!

Thanks for popping by.
