Autumn foliage

Memory Box has some of the best collage type stamps. I love the ones they design. The background of the collage was colored with various orange tones of distressed inks, then edged with soot. Then I colored the leaves with copics, the background leaves is from a set by Flourishes. We have some cool crisp fall weather today, I am loving it. We don't get a traditional fall here in Eastern NC, I miss the piles of gorgeous tones of color that would fall from the trees in MD. We use to pile them up and jump off our swing into them, so fun! Raking up pinestraw into piles just isn't the same! LOL! Have a great day!

Shades of sunset

Hello Monday! This card is for the Flourishes challenge. I made the card using glimmer mist to create the background. Then I stamped the sunflower image and colored with copics Y00,Y02,Y04, Y06 & Y08, and YG21, 23 & 25 for the leaves. I used flower soft in earth for the center of the image and cut it out. The white background is a impress plate from PTI.

Last week was super busy, we had my birthday, in-laws visit and a new business venture beginning. Not something we were expecting but with us that is usually how things happen. Sometimes things don't go in the avenue you plan, but that can be a good thing. We are still primarily landscaping, but soon we will be cleaning construction house prior to move in. I am so extremely proud of my DH, with many years of hard work he has earned himself a stellar reputation. We do not know what the future holds with the state of our country, but for now I am so very grateful for the work.

Lenten Rose

 

So it's Friday, and we finally have some sun peeking out of the clouds that have been around all week. Today, I am taking the kids out to lunch, and run some errands. Wish it was dry and warm enough to take them to the park. Owen has a soccer game tomorrow, then hopefully they can get in some golfing and fishing after that. Monday is back to school, making lunches and homework again. Have a great weekend! 

Flourishes blue bird

 

This is the new set from Flourishes, Spring has sprung. It has some great images to color, and I could not wait to get these! I stamped the bird in memento ink, then colored with the Faber Castell watercolor pencils. I decided to offset the oval to angle the bird a little better, paper is brazill and bo bunny (the green dot). It has been a yucky Spring break so far. Poor Owen, he was so looking forward to doing outdoor stuff, ie. fishing, golfing and it is just not cooperating. I need to come up with something fun we can do. Hope where you are the weather is better!  

Sunflowers and ladybugs

 

While blog hopping I found this sunflower stamp set by flourishes and had to have it. Flourishes has so many beautiful floral stamps, I love their style! I stamped the image and colored with copics, added diamond glaze to the ladybugs and stamped one of their beautiful sayings. 

I had another ultrasound today, and it seems will be doing this every week to check her stats since I am now on insulin. Today she scored 8 out of 8 so everything is great, the tech. also scanned me with the 4D, and printed a picture. It was so amazing she is so beautiful, and busy- her hand was on half of her face, but I got a pretty good picture of most of her face. So cool! Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!
