Mediterranean Moments.

 Hello everyone: As always, I hope you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

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

I have a card today made with one really beautiful SU stamp set called "Mediterranean Moments", all 4 images are sweet, this one, with a narrow street with hanging plants and colorful buildings really make me nostalgic about those small Mexican towns on the Pacific coast where my hubby and I used to get lost in the beauty of their simple everyday life.

This is the inside.

And this is what I used.

SU "Mediterranean Moments"

Watercolor pencils.

I left the inside without a sentiment, I found out it's better to wait till I need the card to stamp one.

I want to play with these challenges.

Double D Challenges: "Buildings"

Thank you for stopping by today, I appreciate your visit and your sweet comments.

Until next time, take care and stay healthy and safe.

PS. That steel mesh on my window was placed to protect the glass from being smashed by golf balls.  The grass you see in the distance is the tee (is this what it's called?) on hole #5.  That particular window is by my work desk and it's been broken twice, very expensive to replace since it's a double tempered glass.  The golfers are not responsible for one red cent and they are not obligated to pay, only once we've been offered by the person who broke our window, to pay half, which was more than we expected, and we happily agreed.  

The golf association here in my subdivision should impose a fee on anybody who wants to golf here, whether you live here or not, but nothing has happened so far, it's really very upsetting.

Thank you for letting me vent.💖 

Home is where the HEART is.....

Hello everyone: The SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge have a new theme for you to play with this week and I hope you come and join my teammates and me in our gallery.

The theme is "HOME SWEET HOME", so we want to see some houses, any houses in your cards. 

People's house, doggie and kitty houses, bird houses, etc. you get the picture, right?

This is the card I made to inspire you to come and play with us.

This image is from a Stampin' Up! set called "Mediterranean Moments", I love the sketchy look of all of this beautiful images.  I stamped this one on a piece of watercolor paper that I die cut with a Cross Stitch die to give it that home feel. I colored it with some Sakura Koi watercolors and an aqua painter, the Pattern Paper is from my small stash and the sweet little key from a bag of about 30 keys I bought some 2 years ago from a second hand store in town. The whole bunch cost me only $5.00, woo hoo!!

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The row of sweet little bird houses was stamped with a stamp set I bought on Ebay some time ago, the stamp is longer than the image you see here, the houses on the bottom corner are from this same stamp.  The sentiment is from my old and fabulous stash of Flourishes sets.

So I hope you get inspired and come and play along, don't forget to go to the SHOPPING OUR STASH blog to check out my teammates creations for more inspiration.

Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.

Until next time, happy stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
