Celebrate You Today

Celebrate You Today - what a great greeting for birthday, 4th of July or just to wish someone a wonderful day. 

The base card is red with a dark blue mat.  I masked the white card piece and sponged red and blue stripes (rays?).  Then I die cut three circle scribbles (Papertrey Ink) and tacked them to the white piece.    I love these little scribbles - they add a lot of fun and dimension to a card and they can be made from scrap paper pieces!

I'm posting this card to Less is More Challenge, Seize the Birthday and
Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #250: Masked Backgrounds


                 



Take care,

Watercolor Happy Birthday

Watercolors are really interesting - the finished item is usually not what I intended at all.  I saw a card on Pinterest that I liked and tried to copy the watercolor design.  I don't think this result is even close, but I like it anyway.

All Occasion Card

I've been wanting to use this stamp from Technique Tuesday for ages.  It is part of the Greenhouse Society Stamp program - I get a new stamp every month and love them.  I think this stamp is from last year - don't know why I haven't used it yet. 

So I made two cards in different watercolors for different challenges.  I didn't add a sentiment and I'm not sure whether I should or not. 

 

The pictures look a little washed out.  Sorry.  Rainy day and not very good light. 

I'll be entering these cards in the following challenges:

Mother's Day

Since we have had rain for the last several days, I haven't been able to work in the yard - lots of weeds with more to come I'm sure!  So, I have been in my cave and loving it.  Here are a couple Mother's Day cards I made.

I found more little flowers in my stash and decided more Mother's Day cards were in order. 

Have a great day,
Kathy
