"different is good"..

Sharing a couple of cards that were a hoot to make :)  First off  - Using "birdy up" from the Stampotique store.  I colored these four cuties and cut them out to put them on kraft cs, scraps of dp, stenciled back ground and a splatter of turquoise ink..This is also for the "use it Tuesday" challenge: sticky situation= I got these little stick on dots from CHA..didnt know what I would do with them and the sentiment is a sticker from an old sheet of sentiments tucked in the bottom of my stash drawers.

 

Next, the new challenge at the dt blog is to make a birthday card..here is "moth loved"..he he!  Just celebrating a birthday!..sentiment is computer generated :)

 

Thanks for looking! 

"Field of dreams"

Less is More challenge blog is asking for a one layer card and the theme behind it should include a movie title.  I love this stamp image called "spider grass" along with this sentiment "you're strong".
I inked spider grass with distressed inks and sprayed a little water on it before I stamped it..then colored around it with copics.  Simple but glowing...movie title thinking?  "Field of Dreams"..

Switching gears a bit..We celebrated my oldest daughter's 32nd birthday yesterday with one of her favorite dinners: my hub's soup!  I sat down to make her a card and decided  I wanted to paint instead!  Here is the "quick" result!

 

This little canvas in a frame was in the discount isle at Hobby Lobby screaming at me! lol  I used acrylics, stencils and TH flower cut.  This pic of her when she was little cracks me up :)  Tiny result but fun!  TFL

SDC 95 April showers

Just in time for the new challenge at the dt blog we have some rain where I live today!  Sarinda is hosting and she is asking for "April showers" themed creations.  I had a blast with my journal page!

I used Liquitex acyrlics, white uniball pen, prisma color markers, stencils from TCW (Dina and Julie) a black pitt pen and the following images from Stampotique :   Upward bound (Zara bunny image) ," funky dotted" and "funky striped leaves" and "birdy".  I was never a "pink" person but find myself using it A LOT now for some odd reason!  Seriously tho..what a fun challenge to get in on this week!  Get out your Stamps and go for it!  You could be in the running for a $30. gift to shop at the Stampotique store!   Make sure you hop over and see Sarinda's very cool page too- she is one creative lady!    Linking to :  "Art Journal Journey"  =  =landscape within me theme.  TFL!
