Peace On Earth

Happy Friday to you!  I’m traveling this week, so have a quick post for you today.  My design is simple and softly touched with color.  And I love it.  I began my project by die cutting the hills with pieces of scrap paper, and using them as guides for ink blending.  I then continued with additional soft colors to complete the horizon.  Finally, I pulled out my Lavinia stamps and chose to fill the hillsides with these lovely trees.  I love working with Lavinia Stamps.  And 7 Kids has a fabulous selection, where you’ll find an abundance of beauty and inspiration!

Celebrate

The cupcake in today's card is one from Papertrey Ink's "The Baker's Dozen", stamp set. Love them!  There is a cupcake for every birthday month - and each one is as fun as the next! My goal is to get one posted per month... but we'll see how it goes! In fact, I debated on this one, as it wasn't an easy one to photograph. The glitter was fighting with me. I must say, it is much more sparkly in person.  To apply the glitter, I adhered scor-tape to vellum and sprinkled away! I then adhered the vellum to a piece of white paper. I left the card CAS, as the glitter seemed to do the job. Ok, enough from me! Thank you for stopping by!

You Are My Sunshine

Greetings!! It's really a lot of fun to get involved in the challenges out there in the crafty world! Today I'm throwing my hat in for the Tiddly Inks Tingo Challenge, using a Tiddly Inks image, Diecut, and Ribbon. Today's star is Shy Violet Wryn - just love her sweet expression as she anticipates gifting her little terra cotta pot filled with violets! I relate to Wryn - it's so fun to brighten a person's day with small gifts of thoughtfulness. That's it for today - thank you for stopping by! :)
