Blessings of Spring

My second card for Cupcake Inspirations - - -

I used the Carrot Bouquet stamp set by Catherine Pooler Designs for this card.  I stamped them on watercolor paper and colored them with my Zig watercolor brush pens.  I love how vibrant the colors came out.  I used a piece of the same watercolor background as I did for the previous card as a side border here.  Then I used the Floral & Diamond Tiles cover plate by Pinkfresh Studios for the rest of the background. I embossed my sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps onto black cardstock so it would pop on top of the white background.

TGIF!

Happy Weekend!

I have a couple posts to share and just barely squeaking into a challenge before it closes (again)! I took some images to color while on vacation and these posts are a couple of them.  I almost forgot (AGAIN) that I had colored them for a specific challenge, Cupcake Inspirations, which closes tonight.

So this is card one.  The image is a digital stamp that I colored with my Zig watercolor brush pens.  I had a watercolor background with the same colors and so I clipped a bit of it off for the bottom border along with the decorative border.  I kept the sentiment, from Picket Fence Studios, on white and bumped it up.

 Good morning!

Nothing like forgetting you have a post still in draft form hours before a challenge you were entering closes.  That's what happens when you've been on vacation and then playing catch up in real life.  Doesn't help that I keep thinking it's a day earlier than it really is. Maybe I need another trip? 🤔 LOL

So now here it is, just in time. 

I recently broke down and got the postage collage stamp and die from Waffle Flower and the Spring floral coordinating stencil set. I'm glad I did. Super easy and the result is beautiful whatever color scheme you choose.

Happy National Nurses Week!

 Happy Sunday!

Happy National Nurses Week!

I'm reposting today.  Today is the beginning of National Nurses Week so I'm resharing a card I made probably two years ago to celebrate my "hero in scrubs", my hubs, Dave.  During the pandemic healthcare workers were praised for their work and sacrifice and care.  Unfortunately now, some now seem to forget that in times of physical and/or mental pain those caring for us in healthcare settings are actually trying to help us.  And in a world full of physical pain and strife, let's give a little more appreciation for those committed to trying to heal.

The hubs, Dave, aka Nurse Dave
