Country Garden

My final my favourite thing to share with you this month is flowers. 

My Grandmother was phenomenal with putting together bright coloured flowers in our flower beds. My job was to follow her as she planted with the "magic" bucket to water the flowers after they were planted. The "magic" made the water blue.......such a fun child hood memory! As an adult I know what turned the water blue........but I still like to pretend I didn't know <wink> 

I think Country Garden is the perfect stamp to use to share.......flowers.

I have another favourite thing to share and that is country colours. Dusty rose and what I call a grey blue are some of my favourite colours. After colouring my stamp, I cut it out using a stitched rectangle die. Some paper from Julia Nutting and MFT were perfect. A white picket fence, cotton lace bow and some gumdrops finish off my card.  

I decided to keep the layout quite simple and will add the sentiment to the inside of the card when I have an occasion to use it.

Fisherman Fred

Howdy - MichelleO here today - And for my card - I wanted a guy card for a friend. And this image of Fisherman Fred just seemed to perfect.

Such a fun image! I colored up Fred with my Copics (colors below) then I cut out with an oval Spellbinders Nestie, making sure to cut out the fishing rod of course. The edges are inked with Rangers Distress Ink Tea Dye ink.

My papers are fun Paper Studios Beach papers with a Kraft card stock all sewn together. Inked the edges as well and then added just a few Enamel Dots... just a few. Topped off with a great sentiment from High Hopes Stamps "Dropping A Line"

Copic colors used -

There are so many PERFECT images to have fun with at High Hopes Stamps - HERE

Thanks so much

Happy fall

Happy Sunday!!

Today I'd like to share with you this cute Guard Duty Rudy.

It still is summer time, but sometimes it just feels like Autumn already.. the smell, the lights.. 

But well.. I got inspired by the weather to create a Fall card ;)

I've used My Mind's Eye dessinpapers (I think it's from a Halloween release) I found in my stash.

I''ve coloured up with copics: E08 E09 W9 W10 E55 Yr17 YR23 YR65 YR68 G68

I added some burlap and some orange and red pearl maker drups..

It's a simple card, but I like it a lot!

Thanks for stopping by!
