Pawesome Birthday!

My husband and I have collectively 11 nieces and nephews... We also have two dogs that love each of them but for some reason my nephew Luca is like their personal "dog whisperer" lol!  They just adore him, he can't come over without having them draped all over him on the couch, floor wherever he is they are, it is quite sweet.  So for his birthday I couldn't resist pairing the Paper Smooches dog dies with the new Simon Says Stamp sentiment.  You can find these products at papersmoochesstamps.com and simonsaysstamp.com.  

Out of all the cards I have ever made, I do believe this is my favourite. I am submitting it to the Paper Smooches Sparks anything goes challenge of this week.

Last post of the day...Maybe

Third and probably last post today ;). This one is for the Runway Inspired Challenge which, I think challenges me the most.  I took me a few days to decide what to do with the inspiration picture and I was drawn to the colourful blouse (I LOVE Colour) and the flower pot also stuck out of the picture for me hence the little bit of burlap. Again, grey day Wink of Stella clear glitter on the flowers looks great.

Lawn Fawn one layer

I have three posts today, rainy and grey here. Spending time trying to be creative and cheer myself up from the likely end of summer.  

Lawnscapping is holding a one layer challenge this week. I have a hard time with one layer cards... Not my favourite but I am pleased with the way this one turned out.  I don't know what it is about Lawn Fawn stamps but building a scene is such fun! Lots of masking on this one.

Very grey day, my picture is representative enough but it could have been better!

The background spray is my new obsession, the Hero Arts gold spray I love it!

Copic colouring

Thanks for taking the time!

Gilding Flakes

I picked up gilding flakes by Cosmic Shimmer this week and I was dying to try them.  Jennifer McGuire and Julie Ebersole have both had videos showing this product. I used it with Versa Mark and Judi Kins Sticky Stuff. I have always loved the Hero Arts Brushed Frame woodblock stamp so I started with that, when I looked at the result (which I love) I though right away of the OWH Hero Arts Moose. I am from the province of Quebec, we see moose all the time! This is a perfect card for someone that I am thinking about that doesn't live close and this stamp set is one of my favorite Hero Arts sets that I own.

Sister-in-Laws Birthday

I made this one for my Sister-in-Law's birthday... It was jinxed from the get go! My pink Wink of Stella glitter pen leaked all over one of my flowers and I decided in my infinite wisdom... to attempt adding green perfect pearls to some of the leaves, it also leaked! lol  I spent more time trying to cover up mistake on this one but I do like the way it ended up and the errors don't really show. I am also submitting this to this weeks Paper Smooches Sparks Designer Drafts challenge.

Runway Inspired Challenge - Sportmax

I am submitting this one to the Runway Inspired Challenge #66 Sportmax.  Those beautiful bold coloured roses were my inspiration. Too beautiful not to be the inspiration! I recently purchased the Gansi Tambi watercolours, just love them.  I decided to experiment with using an outline rose stamp by My Favorite Things (Blooming Roses). I had never attempted trying to make my own flower but I am really pleased with the way it turned out.

The sentiment is also from My Favorite Things (Birthday Greetings) and the blue panel on the inside was clear embossed with the wood grain stamp from My Favorite Things (Western Backgrounds), although it is impossible to see in the picture.

Thanks for taking the time!
