Friday night SAF - 1st card most proud

I love MacKenzie Childs and try to incorporate some checks in my cards. I used  the checks from On the Farm a stamp set called Topiary Trio both from PTI.. The sentiment is also from Topiary Trio. .

Blog Hop: July 2016

I used Bloomers from PTI for the flowers and Leave It Be for the leaves. I needed smaller centers so I used the tiny star like dots from Birthday Cheer. I also used the stencil from PTI called Modern Background. The white background die is from Tag Sale Quilted.  It's pretty combo.

The Hello cut from gold paper is from Eliz. Craft Designs.

Heat Wave Embossing Class:

I used a grid stencil from Simon Says and Spring Rain ink from PTI. The stamp is Peonies on Parade and the Sentiment is from Don't Forget to Write both from Papertrey Ink. I copic colored the peonies then clear embossed them as well as the leaves. I cut two "Sendings" to stabilize it and then used Jennifers trick to emboss the word by sticking it to some paper tape on a card. It worked great.

I've learned lots of tricks so far, keep out the good work. 

MIM: Reverse Stenciling

I used a stencil I had in my stash along with Don't Forget to Write Market Kit.

The butterfly was from Color Pop Butterflies.

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.
