Hello - A Spring Inspired Set of Cards

I mentioned that I've recently had a bit of travel for work.  This takes me away from my crafty supplies.  I decided to take some stamped images and my Crayola colored pencils with me and this set of cards came out of those efforts.  The images were stamped onto Bristol cardstock using my SSS Look for the Rainbows stamp set.  I'm so pleased with how the coloring went - different than my Polychromos pencils, but I'm delighted.

The backgrounds are a combination of Brusho watercolor crystals and Glimmer Mist.  I added some Art Anthology Dimensional Medium with a stencil for added interst behind my blooms and butterflies.

Such a fun set of cards.  So rewarding for some simple colored images.

You Are Loved - A Simple One-Layer Card

I had to save the share on this simple, one-layer card until after Valentine's Day so that my hubby didn't catch on.  I created this card with my Papertrey Ink You Have My Heart stamps and some Distress Oxide inks.  I have really enjoyed my Distress Oxides and this pattern created is perfect. 

It was extremely difficult to see, but I used some Glimmer Mist to spritz the card to create some shimmer, delicate and not too girly.

I just needed hubby to know that he is loved on the Day of Love, Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day - A Simple Card for a Son

I'm stopping by with a quick valentine I made for my son using my Papertrey Ink You Have My Heart stamps and dies.  I paired the die cut and stamped images on a Glimmer Misted background. 

I don't know why I don't use my Glimmer Mist more often, but I am glad that I made this background as it is pretty without be too cute for a grown son to know his mama thought of him. 

The day of love is fast approaching and I have at least one more valentine to make.  How about you?
