I Love Your Smiles

Happy Monday! It's been quite a busy weekend for me. I am happy to share this beautiful image from A and M Memories Designs today. This image is perfect for Mother's Day called Mother's Day Portrait. I started by creating the background using Distress Oxide inks.

Especially For You

Hello! I can't believe it's May already. I made this card for Sweet Stamps using Black Eyed Susans stamp and coloring it in with Copic markers. I added some shimmer to the flowers and oops, more came out then I expected on one of the flowers, but all is well.

Hello Stampers! Did you all have a fun weekend? We had quite a busy one but it was great! My card for this week's Party Time Tuesdays challenge was inspired by a CAS challenge I saw. The PTT DT was given some adorable stamps from Stamp Fairy to use for this week's "Anything Goes" challenge.

PTT112 - Color Challenge

Hello Stampers! It's time for another challenge over at Party Time Tuesdays. We have wonderful sponsors with awesome prizes this week. This image is from The Paper Shelter called Sophie in the Country.

Mother's Magnolias

I recently I won a beautiful stamp set from MFP called Mother's Magnolias. It's great for Mother's Day but I decided to use only the magnolia stamp and leave out the sentiment so it could be an all occasion type of card. I did some ink distressing around the natural cardstocks, added various stitchings and embellishments to finish off my card.

I am linking to the following challenges:

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is right around the corner. I found some fun challenges to participate in to make my Mother's Day card. I have a bunch of pre-stamped images that I leave in my drawer to use. I was sorting everything and found this adorable image. It just says Mother's Day all over. I pulled out my Copics and started coloring. I am not an experienced Copic marker user, so I basically wing it when I color. I am happy with the results though. To finish this card off, I stitched around the patterned paper, added some tiny pearls to the center of the flowers and popped the heart brad on the left of the sentiment. My favorite are the pearls accents on her hair. So cute!
