Celebrating the Red, White and Blue

Hi Everyone! I'm back to share a card that I created for The Greeting Farm Stamps - Color With Pencils Challenge.  I love coloring with Prismacolor Pencils, so I decided to make a 4th of July card. I can't believe that the first day of summer is this Saturday and the 4th is only a couple of weeks away!

For my card, I used Echo Park - 4th of July Digital Papers and Elements. I stamped the very sweet "Summer" from The Greeting Farm - Roll Call Wild Sprouts Collection 1 on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored her with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I added a small star to her shirt to make it look more patriotic! The die cut behind her and the banner are from the Digital Elements. The flowers are from Prima, All Natural Accents and Michael's. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

I hope you all have a wonderful summer!

Big Hugs,

Lucky Me!

Hi Everyone!  I hope this finds you all doing well! Here in California, there are signs that spring is here. The daffodils in my garden have bloomed and a dove has built a nest under my patio cover on two of the beams. This past Saturday, a baby dove arrived! It is so cute!

Can you believe that it is already March and St. Patrick's Day is next week!   I decided to make a card for   St. Patrick's Day using The Greeting Farm Digi Image - Good Luck Anya. I printed the cute image on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored it with Alcohol Markers. I paper pieced Anya's hat and outfit using Nitwit Collections - Bit O' Blarney Digital Design Papers. I also used the same design papers for the background of the card. I added one of my handmade flowers that I created using some lace that I found at Joann's. I also added some doilies and a Bazzill Timeless Button for the center. The "lucky me" is a stamp from Studio G. The ribbon and lace are from my stash.

 

 

I also crocheted some 4 leaf clovers using a tutorial I found here. I dyed them using green food coloring.        I added a rhinestone that I found at Michael's to each of the centers.

I hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day! I'm going to try to make a Grasshopper Pie for my hubby on St. Patrick's Day! Chocolate and mint! Yummy!
