Make it Monday : Shadowing with Copics

I use the same Tulip Time as Danielle did and another cut out word from my stash.  I can't see the shadowing very well in this picture but it's there.

I stenciled the paper with a checkerboard stencil from MFT.

Make it Monday Challenge: Gradient Watercolor Die Cuts

I used Bitty Butterflies as I see a few others have too. The butterflies lend themselves to the gradient look. The sentiment is from Rainbow Greetings by My Favorite Things..

Make it Monday: Masked Backgrounds

I used the Make It Market stencil for the background, the clouds and the word "Sunshine". I used the word"Sending" from the Don't forget To Write Kit and the "love" came from my stash -Taylored Expressions (Pockets and Pages).

I love blending and the Elmers spray glue really helps placing delicate words.

PTI Blog Hop May 2016:

I loved the pastels in the Picture and of course had to put out PTI's Summer Sweetness.

I used glossy accents to cover the popsicles  and the So Happy sentiment from Color Pop Butterflies kit. The Polka Dots are from Day Dreamer. 

Monograms:

I loved what Nichole did with the micro pen and defining the letters so I tried it..It works pretty well.

Make it Monday: Score Lines

Laurie had some really good ideas on how to use score lines. I decided to frame my sentiment by putting two lines above and below the Celebrate (from PTI Birthday Cheer) and I used flowers from Nostalgic Notions Market Kit. I used a vellum panel over some Hibiscus checks.  I think I will use them more often now as they really add to the white space.

Make It Monday Challenge:

Since my PTI hasn't yet arrived, I improvised and used the You've Been Framed Diamond die, Background Text, Flowers from Color Pop and some that I had stashed, and the Celebrate from Birthday Cheer.  I sure do better blending over heat embossing than on plain paper!  Cute challenge.
