Magical Friends

Welcome,

Recently  MFT came out with a new dragon set.  It goes perfectly with the old dragon set.  I love that I can use them together.   I couldn't wait to stamp some dragons out and color them up.  Here is the first of the cards I made with the my magical creatures.   I love this dragon's expression.  I'm not sure if what he thinks of the knight.

Sunrise Butterflies

Welcome,

I love playing with color.  I often use black butterflies to decorate a colorful background.  I thought it would be fun to try the opposite.  This time I sponged the butterflies to look like a sunrise.  I kept the background simple and stamped a flower background with white pigment ink.   This ink is wonderful.  It works perfectly for this technique.

Butterflies are by MFT but were discontinued.  However, I found these and they are similar.

A Conversation with my Heart

Happy Feb 15th!

I know Valentine's day was yesterday, but I wanted to be sure that the recipient got the card before I posted it online.   I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day.  Ryan had a party at school.  He was so proud to show me all of his valentines he received from his friends.  It is such a cute age.

My favorite part of Valentine's day is conversation hearts.   Yep.  I'm the weirdo that hopes that I can buy a bunch at the 50% off Valentine's day sale.  This year... after going to two stores I found zero bags of conversation hearts.   I was shocked.  The stores must be getting better at estimating how many bags of carry or... some other weirdo beat me to them.  Next year, I might have to buy a bag before they disappear.

I think this little guy and I have a lot in common.  However, he is much more talented.  I could only balance one on my nose.  😂

There is another great challenge going on at the house mouse blog.  I hope you will swing by and check out the beautiful cards the design team made.
