Summer Dreams

During this hot Memorial Day weekend I thought I would share this summer silhouette card.  I have been laid up with knee surgery so my friend, April Williams, came over and she shared some fun techniques using alcohol inks. 

We spent the afternoon making different backgrounds.  I used one of these backgrounds for today’s card.

The Pelican on Piling Silhouette from Just For Fun was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on the front.  JFF's Summer Dreams sentiment from The Seasons Word Block was stamped at the top with Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink.

A little twine was added, along with dark blue and Graphic 45 Designer cardstock layers on black.

Hope you are enjoying a long weekend of friends, family, and fun.

What's Brewing?

Here is one more coffee themed card for the 2019 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  This card features four stamps from Just For Fun Rubber Stamps.  The Coffee and the Café images were heat embossed in white on brown cardstock and cut out.  The What's Brewing was stamped on kraft cardstock.

These were all layered on some special coffee paper that my friend shared with me from this special pad of paper she had.  

I stamped the Water Ring on it in brown and added a variety of brown layers.

I’ll be back Monday with a new card.

I entered this project in the following challenge:

Just For Fun Rubber Stamps May Challenge

When you are home, recovering from surgery, it is hard to keep track of the days. Surprise!! May is here.  So it is time for a new challenge at the Just For Fun Blog.  It is the perfect theme for May – Celebrating The Women In Our Lives. 

My mom has been in the hospital and struggling with some major health issues.  The good news is she is on the mend, but she has definitely been on my mind so I made a card for her.  The base image on this card is the Floral Wreath from Just for Fun.  It was colored with Tombow Markers and then 5 cm letters were used to cut out the word MOM.

Head on over to the JFF Blog for all the challenge details and more designer inspiration.  We would love for you to join us and see what you create.

Here is to time with mom.

Coffee Cafe

I was finally released from home health care after having knee surgery so I spent the weekend with my friends making cards.  With the start of the 2019 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, I of course focused on a coffee themed card.

This card uses the Café image from Just For Fun Rubber Stamps.  This was colored with Tombow markers and layered on sunset colored cardstock and dark blue.

This small scenic die cut was added to the corner, along with the die cut Coffee word.

Here's to a great weekend and a fun hop.
