Forcing the Flowers (on myself)

Hi everyone!  I decided to challenge myself once again using flowers.  (Eek!)  Actually, this time went quite a bit more smoothly than the last.   I’m still not comfortable using them, but I will conquer!  🙂

Hello

     HCGSAV

This sweet image is called Picnic of Daisies from Stampavie.  (You can find it and others at All That Scraps.)  Coloring the more realistic images such as this (as opposed to a cutesy character type) are somewhat intimidating to me but I really enjoy the “challenge.”  I used Copic markers on the image as well as the Prima flowers and brads.

I felt the pinkish panel was a bit plain so I created a crossover pattern using a Fine Lines backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great Tuesday!  🙂

So Sweet

Happy Sunday (what’s left of it)!  My kids and husband have all been out of school and work for the past week so every day has seemed like a weekend here.  And we’ll have one more week of it!  How fun!

I’ve been eyeing some of the Rachelle Anne Miller and Sarah Kay images lately and was finally able to get a few.  I think they are just adorable!

So Sweet…Precious Moments

I kept the layout on this one fairly simple, mostly because I didn’t want to cover too much of the patterned paper from October Afternoon.  (I got mine from Jacksonbelle Embellishments.  I saw this paper for the first time this summer at CHA and fell in fell love with every line.  If you haven’t seen it, you must check it out.)  

I used Prismacolor pencils to color the image, a Martha Stewart punch for the trim and a little charm is tied into the knot.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day/night! 🙂
