My Cup Runneth Over

Like visiting an old friend, running across an old and much loved stamp set

that hasn't seen ink in a long time, brings joy to this stamper. 

MIM this week had me going through my PTI sets and finding an oldie,

Tea For Two Additions.

Our hostess this Monday is Stephanie, and she challenged us to Add color to our Outline Images.

The Tea for Two set has solid, or nearly solid images, and the outline and sentiment I 

wanted to use. 

I added the little flower from Stitching garden, and a leafy image from the 2018

Anniversary Set.

The following are the sets I used. If you click them, it will take you to the sets

in the PTI shop.

Thanks for visiting, and have great week!

HLS October Watercolor Challenge: Optional Gold!

Hi everyone! It's October 1st and time for another HLS Watercolor Challenge!

This time, with an optional twist... Gold.

Watercolor + Gold = yes please!

My die cut grand leaf is from PapertreyInk, and is called Enclosed: Leaf.

From watercolor paper I cut the leaf, and wet painted with my pan watercolors. Then gold embossed the 2nd or top rim and sentiment with gold embossing powder.

The panel is Wonky Stitched from My Favorite Things.

The leaf veins were first stamped and then spritzed with water.

Sequins from Buttons Galore and More.

Play along all month for a $20. gc at Happy Little Stampers!

See you in the lineup!

Thankful

The Card Concept's challenge is 'Thanksgiving'.

Oh, the patterns! Love them, and the colors too!

Card Concept asks that you choose one of their 

many styles when creating your card.

Their designers give you so much inspiration to choose from.

Clean and Layered is my card.

I watercolored the panel from Botanical Blocks (PTI),

and layered it over several card stocks to mimic the table setting in the 

challenge photo.

Button and Twine also PTI.

'Thankful' from PTI's First Fruits (retired I think)

Color Pop Fortune Teller

It's Day 8 of Papertrey's 9th Year Celebration, and today's challenge 

has us using a paper fortune teller game we used to play as children.

My grandchildren still play this game, and love it!

Number 5 was my chosen number, and the color Simply Chartruese.

4th month for birthday, and got Spring Rain & Royal Velvet. 

Nichole said we could pick an addition color, and next to Royal Velvet was Berry Sorbet.

Used my Zig Watercolors, and the colors closest to my 4 on
