Stampendous Birch Bouquet

hello and welcome!  I'm all into flowers right now.  My garden is in bloom and I'm so inspired.  All my spring flowers are finished, but the lilies and roses are in full bloom and we're waiting on the hydrangeas to begin showing out!

I picked this Stampendous Birch Bouquet stamp up last week.  I'd been looking at it for a while and knew I needed it.  I copic colored the image, then diecut it and mounted on a diecut panel.  I cannot remember who makes the background die, I cut it a long time ago and it was in my stash diecut pile!

The sentiment is from an MFT stamp set, Beach Bunnies which I heat embossed in white on a black banner!

I hope you've enjoyed my project and I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment!  Have an awesome day!

Stampendous Sunny Vase

Hello, we've got a gorgeous spring day here in SC, and I was able to get some nice natural sunlight to take a photo of my latest card.

Recently a really lovely friend of mine, gifted me with Polychromo Pencils.  I had been wanting to try these for a LONG time.  And waiting for a sale on them over Christmas proved fruitless.  In the meantime I'd purchased a set of "like polychromos" and they are actually really nice.  But now I've used the best and these really are as amazing as they are advertised.  That's not to say I won't use the others..but gotta say, these will be my go-tos!  So thank you soooo much Cathy, you are amazing!

I was recently cropping with my friend Kayla and we were playing around with this set, Stampendous Sunny Vase.  I love the pattern on the vase and of course cannot resist a beautiful sunflower.  One of my favorite images to color!

I used a variety of blues and greens to ink my background with distress inks and did a little watersplatter.  After my images were pencil colored, I did a little white acrylic wash splatter on them, just to add a little interest.  I cut the tiny tag out from this set by Newton's Nook Designs Tags Times Two on kraft cardstock. I had this little thank you sentiment in an older Stampendous stamp set, which is now obsolete.  However you can use any tiny sentiment.  I finished it off with a tiny twine bow and some Studio Katia Iridescent Clear Crystals.

Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful day!
