Tag You're It: Spring Colors

Hello and welcome to a new Tag You're It Challenge!

I'm up today with this photo and 'Spring Colors'.

Check it out here: Tag You're It #87

And here's a little inspiration for you using the colors in the photo. 

I watercolored the tag from Stamplorations, and the bird & branch from

PTI's Songbirds. The stamped black leaves are from PTI's Doodle-Do.

 Hope you play along!

Thanks for the visit!

Faux Stained Glass

Merry Christmas! 

Can you believe we're at the end of 2017?

Just had to play along despite the busy time. PTI's MIM this week, is with Laurie and

creating Faux Stained Glass.

Laurie suggested a cover plate, and I chose Winter Woods.

My vellum is colored with copics, and I loved the effect it gave through the trees.

Silver White Winters snowflakes and the tops of the trees

were sprinkled with glitter, rather hard to see.

You can see a bit of the glitter in this closeup.

MAKE IT MONDAY #307: FAUX STAINED GLASS

PTI September '17 Blog Hop

Good Morning! It's the 25th, and that means time for PTI's September Blog Hop!

Nichole gave us this piece of art for inspiration.

I played with the Brushed off die, fitting my sentiment in the window.

Here's the 1st of 3 cards.

Year of the Psalms: August, Nesting, Ivy & Bloom, and one sprig of Beautiful Berries: Autumn.

The sentiment was 1st embossed with Ivory ep, and then copic colored.

Another card for fall. Beautiful Berries: Autumn, and Year of the Psalms: August.

Twig Wreath and some sprigs from Autumn Pumpkins.

Brushed Off: Rectangle

And one more, a Christmas card

This time with Brushed Off: Oval. 

I cut some of the fir dies from Beautiful Berries: Winter, for windows.

I LOVE the Psalm series! And love the windows to showcase them!

Year of the Psalms: September

Off to hop along with all of you!

Have a great day!

A Colorful Easter!

This is Easter week, and our house becomes the hub for our 5 children and

11 grandchildren.

It's a happy time of opening up our home for not just family but

friends too!

The Card Concept, one of my favorite challenges,

gave us this inspiration, and it just reminded me of our nest,

with the 5 eggs!

All of the designers at the Card Concept inspire, 

but I'm always drawn to layers and patterns, and perfectly placed images.

Laura Jane's beautiful birthday card, came under Freestyle Collage style,

and because I always love her creations, I went with that one!

This card, together with a coloring book and pencils goes to the granddaughter of a friend, 

who will spend Easter in the hospital.

The nest and eggs are Memory Box
