A Little Reminder.

 Hello dear friends: Every day I pray that you and your families are healthy and safe. Please take care of yourselves and each other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, we've arrived at the half-way point on THE FLOWER CHALLENGE, so here's my card to remind you to come and play along in our gallery.

This image is from an old Flourishes set called "Dahlias" (2013). I stamped it on Canson watercolor paper with Versafine black ink and heat embossed it with WOW clear embossing powder, then colored it with Tim Holtz distress inks and fussy cut.  In order to fit the main flower on the corner, I cut out the little blooms and arranged them around in a different place.

The butterfly is from a set from "The Craft's Meow" called "Beautiful Spring".

This is how the inside looks.

The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called "In Praise of Sunflowers",

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you come to THE FLOWER CHALLENGE blog to get more inspiration from my awesome teammates and to play along with us in our gallery to help us celebrate our 4th. Birthday.

Don't forget that this time around, we have some pretty amazing prizes for our winners, so please pay attention to our rules so you can have a chance to win.

Until next time, stay healthy, safe and please wear your masks.

Hugs.

Maria.

Give Me My Morning Cup!!!!!

 Hello everyone: As with every post, I hope and pray you and your families are doing well in these very troubling times.

Please take care of yourselves and each other and wear your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coffee...........mornings for me mean a hot, strong mug of coffee, freshly brewed, aromatic and delicious, at 4am. I need this to start waking up.

This sweet coffee cup, the coffee beans and the fabulous sentiments are from an old Flourishes set called "Grab a Cup". I heat embossed the beans with gold embossing powder, the coffee cup is stamped with Stazon black ink and colored with SU re-inkers, the sentiments are stamped with a "Lost Lagoon" ink pad, still working fine.

The swirls are the leftover pieces of a die-cut from a Tonic Studios called "Paisley Die", I think they look like the steam from the cup.

This is the INSIDE.

The sentiment is from the Flourishes set and the little percolator from a retired SU set called "Morning Cup" (2010-2011)

 Hello everyone: As every time I post here, I pray you and your families are well, taking care of each other and wearing your masks.

My teammates and me over at SHOPPING OUR STASH have a new challenge for you to play with.  We hope you can come and play along with us creating cards with a Thanksgiving theme.

This is the one I made to inspire you to join us in our gallery.

This image is from a Power Poppy stamp set called "Olive and Oak", it's sold out at the moment, I hope it will be back, it's truly beautiful.

I stamped it on Canson Mixed Media paper with Versafine black ink and clear heat embossed it, then, watercolored it with Tim Holtz distress inks.

The sentiment is from an old Flourishes set called "A Season of Thanks"
