Wish you the Most Beautiful Day

It's Friday Sept 11th. It was 19 years ago when the terrorist attacks changed the USA forever. How can that be 19 years ago?  

For this challenge, it's yellow and green which I love these 2 colors together. This pineapple makes me smile :). This is a brand new color challenge that started September 1st. I colored this with copics.

Beach Hello

 

All stamps by Hero Arts
Clouds stencil by Hero Arts

This card is so easy to create using a Misty or the Tim Holtz
platform which is what I used here. They are all stamps 
by Hero Arts and came out a few years ago but I just now
purchased them from Joann's when they were on sale. The set is 
layering set - the waves are 3 separate stamps and you stamp
each layer in a different color. I colored the sand in by
using a Copic marker then stamped the word Hello
in the sand, along with the tiny footprints next to it.

Birthday in the pumpkin patch

Is anyone else having problems posting to their blog? Mine isn't right and I am seeing all the coding, etc after I try to post it. So if this looks a little wonky, that's why. It looks fine when I go to "preview" so I assume it's ok on your end. One of my friends who I have known for 40+ years has a birthday coming up on Halloween. So when my brand new set came in the mail from The Greetery to go with my convertible car set that I had, I knew I wanted to make her a birthday card with it. This is going to be so fun to color up for Fall birthdays. I also got the stencil tree and the stencil road. I also decided to make it into a fun fold card and you can see the directions for that here.

Challenge Up Your Life - Autumn Mood

I made this card for a challenge on Splitcoast last week and it was a watercolor challenge. Here's the video I watched to do it. We were to use no ink and just our watercolor inks with water and a paint brush. I thought how hard could it be? Well, this took me a few tries to get it right but I love how it came out. You just paint your watercolors directly onto your stamps and let dry. This is my first ever stamp set by Sunny Studio. My card reminds me of no-line coloring which I try and try but have yet to succeed at making a descent card with that technique. They are based in the northwest of the US and all their stamps are made in the USA. Shipping was fast too.
