Delightfully Green..........

Hello everyone: I love Fairies, especially baby ones, so here's this one that I'm sure will melt your heart.

This sweetie pie is from a Penny Black set called "Fairy Sweet" and the other images on this set are just as adorable.

I stamped her on a piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with gray ink and colored her with my Prismacolor pencils, I substituted the flower she's holding with a Shamrock sticker. The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called Woodland Carpet, the butterfly from a 2011-2012 SU set called "Papillon Potpourri", the ribbon and pattern paper are from my stash.

*******************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like. 

The border is from a 2014-2015 SU set called "Bordering Details", the sentiment is from a 2011 Flourishes set called "Orchids", the butterfly in the corner is from, unfortunately, unknown origins.

I want to play with the following challenges.

Both cards were made with the Tiddly Inks stamp set called "For The Birds", I love all of these cute little chicks.

First card.

I made a Birthday card for my granddaughter Olivia for her 16th. Birthday, I love these little chicks each holding a little paper with the letters of her name. 

The balloons are from an old Flourishes from 2009-2010. The flowers are from a set from Art Impressions, the gift bags from another old Flourishes set called "Christmas Borders", all the images are colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Coffee with a Friend.......

This card is made with a Stampin' Up! set called "Morning Cup"  (2010-2011), the cups and teapot are colored with Prismacolor pencils, the sentiment is from the set and I added a little enamel dot from Gina Marie Designs to the lid of the teapot.

The "ledge" this cute cups and teapot are sitting on is stamped with the "Delicate Details" stamp set (2017 SAB).

Be Well.......

Hello everyone: I have a really cute card made with a sweet House Mouse stamp called "Mouse Drops".

I stamped the image on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with Stazon black ink and colored it with Prismacolor pencils.

The flowers and leaves are from a retired SU die set called "Botanical Blooms"

The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called "Tea in the Garden", the enamel dots are from Gina Marie Designs.
