Bowl of Beauty.

 Hello everyone: I pray that you and your families are doing well during these very difficult times, stay healthy and safe.

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

                  Welcome to our February THE FLOWER CHALLENGE.

As our banner says, use all those stamps or dies you got for Christmas, whether you got them from family and friends or from yourself.😉

Here is my card to inspire you to play along.

Last year I didn't buy any new rubber or acrylic stamp sets but I did indulge in a few digital images from Power Poppy, this one is called "Bowl of Beauty".

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

This is the INSIDE.

I just left both the front and inside without a sentiment, just so I can customize it as I need it, it's easier than having to fix my card last minute.

And this is what I used.

Power Poppy "Bowl of Beauty" digital stamp.

Prismacolor pencils.

Washi tape inside from Creative Designs

SU Small Butterfly punch (retired)

Coffee Time.

 Hello everyone: I hope and pray you and your families are doing ok, taking care of each other and always wearing your masks.

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

Welcome to a new SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge, the theme is Coffee so come and join us in our gallery.

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

Some time ago I was browsing on Ebay looking for stamp sets sales and I found a Stampin' Up! adorable set called "Mice Messages" and the decal on the wood mount had a 1999 date, it was love at first sight for me so I immediately bought it.

(Personally, I wish SU would put the dates of their stamps on the sets)

I made this Twisted Easel card with one of the images. 

I stamped the image on Ninah Kraft card stock with Memento ink and colored it with Prismacolor pencils. 

This is what I used.

SU "Mice Messages" (1999)

Flourishes "Picking Wild Flowers" (2013)

Flourishes "Grab a Cup" (2010)

SU "Morning Cup" (2010-2011)

Lawn Fawn "Stitched Scalloped Rectangle" dies.
