Ms. Dotty........

Hello everyone: I'm always hoping and praying you and your families are doing well in these troubling times, all I can tell you is to stay safe and healthy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have this really fabulous stamp set from the 2014 kit of the month called "Hey Girl" I haven't used in a while, so here's this card which I will enter in a few challenges, I just love this girl holding this bunch of balloons.

I stamped the image on Strathmore Bristol paper with Stazon black ink and colored it with some SU re-inkers and watercolor pencils, I added some gold paint to her dress and balloons and red glitter to the hearts.

The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called "Dynamic Duos: Peonies and Tulips.

This is the inside.

The sentiment is from the Uniko set, the balloon from Hero Arts.

I want to play with the following challenges.

A Snowy Day!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone: I hope all of you are doing well and adjusting to being home 24/7 at least for now and since I have a lot of time on my hands and I can't go swimming, I've been spending it in my craft room doing one of the things I love best, using my new and old stamps which I've promised myself I'd do.

Here's a card I will joyfully add to my Christmas stash.

This image is from Stamping Bella and it's called "Seasons Greetings" and I think it absolutely needs NO sentiment, the image says it all!!!

I stamped this cutie pie on watercolor paper with Versafine black ink, clear heat embossed it and colored it with Windsor&Newton watercolor markers, I created some snowbanks with a Prismacolor pencil and then, sponged the panel with distress ink, I created the "snow" with embossing paste and a snow stencil.

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

This is how the inside of my card looks like.

 The border is from a retired SU set called "Delicate Details", the sentiment is from Stamping Bella and the candy canes from a Power Poppy set called "Merry Littles".

I want to play with the following challenges.
