Taking a sick day 6/28

 I have a poison ivy breakout and won’t be at the Independence Uptown Market Saturday 6/28.  Heat, Humidity and Poison Ivy is not a good combination.  

And I think this little angel may have contributed to some new hot spots!  Enjoy your weekend!  I’ll be back 7/5!!

Coneflowers part 2

 Today I stamped and colored Coneflowers with Stampin’ Blends.  Arched Dies made a nice background, these flowers are LARGE!  

I stamped all the images in Granny Apple Green ink.  This allowed the line art of the stamps to be visible yet not stark if I had used black ink.  Coneflowers come in many colors and Pretty in Pink shades were used on a Granny Apple Green card base.

Peach Pie blends for this flower on a Garden Green card base.

And finally Highland Heather Blends for a common Coneflower color.  Can’t wait to water color a few cards with this stamp set……as soon as I find my water color paper!

These cards will be on the rack this Saturday June 28.  8-1pm  Independence Uptown Market

Coneflower Cards

 I am finally getting Coneflower Celebrations out of the box and have so many ideas rolling around in my head!  I made 3 cards for the Market and sold all 3!  They are eye catching and all I used were Die cuts!

The new IN Color 6X6 designer paper looks amazing as a background for this traditional Highland Heather Coneflower.  The Die for the center has great texture cut from Early Expresso and Garden Green leaves.  Designer paper is Darling Duckling on a White card base.

Strawberry Slush card base anchors this monochromatic Coneflower.  Love this Blurred pattern from the IN Color paper pack.

Used 1/2 sheet of this reverse pattern and added some dots for contrast.  I will pop up the Coneflower for more depth in future cards.  Watch for stamped and Colored Coneflowers later this week!

Catch me at the Independence Uptown Market this Saturday 6/28. 8-1pm. Lots of great produce outside and Sourdough Bread inside across from my booth!

More Good Vibes….

 I am really feeling the vibes from this Stamp set Sunshine Vibes and Matching 6x6 paper called Bojo Vibes.  Stamping the Sun and rays on the corner of the Rainbow.  Letting the Designer paper peek thru and adding a few coordinating arches!

Love this color combo and the movement the designer paper provides! Paper is cut at 3x5 1/2.  So you can get use on 2 card fronts.

Another paper pattern and different Sentiment.

 

And this Darling Ducking card base is my favorite!

See these cards and more at the Independence Uptown market Saturday 6/21.  8-1pm
