Rainbow Blossoms for a Friend

I know that when the flowers bloom and the weather turns warm it means lots of outside time for most of you. It happens to be very very hot here this week and I am trying to spend a bit of time in the craft studio enjoying the air conditioning and my stamps! That doesn't keep me from stamping colorful armfuls of flowers!

Finding it easier to keep the mojo coming when I stamp more often, this is a quick take on the challenge at Fusion where I was inspired by the rainbow colors in pastel shades and circles in the sketch. The sentiment circle was lightly inked with Kitsch Flamingo.

I'm also linking this new stamp with the NBUS challenge where it's a new month and the gallery has lots of room for your projects with new supplies. I appreciate your visit, wishing you a great day!

Pumpkin Season

 Hello! What gorgeous fall weather we've been having! It's a sunny Saturday, and before getting outside I have a quick post today, using the Pumpkin Season stamps and dies by Julie Ebersole. 

I love the simplicity of these images and just had to give a favorite color combo a whirl. The challenge at Fusion inspired orange and turquoise. After embossing the outline images in gold, I sponged inks to color the solid stamps allowing for gradation of the hues. I am adding Freshly Made Sketches to the playlist. The panel of kraft with stripes brings out the gold accents and sentiment. 

Also adding this to NBUS since the stamps are brand new. 

This was hard to photograph, it shines IRL. 

Hoping you're having a great day take care and thanks for visiting!

Peach Hello

 Hi, I'm here to welcome you on a Monday afternoon to a new week! How was your weekend? I am sure ready for some good days. I love fall! I've had some very good days except for one thing. Car trouble! We have had issues with both of our cars that have been going on since April! I am all ready to be getting out and about a bit more but it seems we have had days when BOTH cars are in the shop! Due to mistakes, no fault of our own. Thank goodness we have a golf cart! I am glad that I have an indoor hobby too. 

Which is why I'm here today, to share a card made with the Fresh Air stamps from The Greetery. 

The Fusion Challenge inspiration photo sparked my idea to use this set, since the arched window and shutters remind me of some of the photo elements. I am happy that this is a new set seeing inks (from Altenew). I combined the Brick Die and Fresh Air Window dies with some fussy cutting of the images. 

This will also be entered at NBUS - you know how this makes me happy! And one more - Happy Little Stampers. 

I can't thank you enough for stopping by to visit today! Hugs~
