Friends Furever

Hello there!
I'm staying cool inside while the heat and humidity are making it miserable out this afternoon. Happy to get a little stamping in. My furever friend, our beagle Josie is snuggled up at my feet. 

Today's card will be heading off with my contributions to Cards for Hospitalized Kids. I loved these cute critters and colored them in with Copic markers, adding highlights with a white gel pen. Thinking this will make a child smile delights me today!

The background was sponged with Tattered Rose and Scattered Straw Distress Inks.

Shakers are always fun to get! I added metallic hearts, sequins and a few seed beads inside. Also spattered a bit of ink droplets there. Have a great day!

Be yourself.

Stitched Summer Blooms

Welcome to my first post here on the new blog! I found that I really missed having a place to share my creations and I love having you come to visit! I've gotten in the habit of always having something to color on hand and these stitched roses that have been on my desk make an impact on today's card.

I'm playing along with this week's CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge. 

I cut strips of white card stock for my design, and heat embossed the sentiment in white. My decision to use Coastal Cabana card stock for the base came after trying a few other colors because I was going for a clean, crisp look but unfortunately, the photo doesn't capture that. 

Hope you have a great day!

I have moved my blog and I'm excited that you are here to visit!
It will take a couple of days for me to get it up and running with new posts. 

I look forward to having a new home for my crafty ventures. Check back on August 22 for new posts. I can't wait!
