You have to love techniques that are simple to do yet give you a lot of bang for your buck. This is one of those. I love using distress inks especially with their reactions with water. You can do so many fun things with them. </div>

It's been awhile since I've used this technique, but when I saw <a href="http://jennifermcguire.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer McGuire's blog</a> yesterday I knew I wanted to pull out my stencils and play...so I did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here's my take on it.</div>

If you haven't played with distress inks you are missing out! There are a million tutorials and videos out there showing how they work. They blend so beautifully. Here are three colors blended together for an ombre look. </div>

For my first card I chose this BIG dot stencil from Simon Says Stamp. I love it and haven't played with it yet. Just lay it over the top of your card add painter's tape or wash tape to hold it in place.</div>

Wet a paper towel. Make sure you wring it out really well so it doesn't leak under your stencil. You want it damp but not really wet. Lay it over the top of your stencil and press into the negative space.</div>

Wa la! Doesn't it look cool? I never get tired of seeing how it reacts with water. I used my heat tool to try it. I also laid a book on it to flatten out any warping from the water treatment.</div>

Here is another look at the finished card. I cut out the dot background using one of my new favorite Avery Elle dies. I saved the frame for the second card. I love the look of the dots running along the edge. The bird stamp is from Hero Arts.</div>

Below is a collage of the other card. Notice that because of the details on this stencil, I dabbed the paper towel into the corners rather than laying it over the entire stencil. This allowed a more precise reaction.</div>

I finished up the card with some vellum, using the new Avery Elle stencil set once again. I heat embossed the greeting in Liquid Platinum and scattered some matching hearts around the card. Again, notice the frame from cutting out the first card is glued around the edge of this card but I turned it upside down to alternate the color pattern.</div>

Hello to everyone!! Two days in a row…hang on to your seat belts! I'm having so much fun watercoloring this week. In some ways this class is going by to fast and in other ways not fast enough for the rate I want to devour all of these new techniques. </div>

This card was so fun and easy to make. I just heat embossed this beautiful poppy stamp from Penny Black and then colored it in with my favorite watercolors from Winsor and Newton. I'm seriously addicted to how vibrant and beautiful these colors are. </div>

I'm learning the importance of using good watercolor paper. It really makes a huge difference.</div>

The shading on the flowers is so easy to do. The more water, the lighter the color and the less water the deeper the color. Just like coloring with markers or colored pencils, I start light and than add in darker color as I go. Embossing the image helps the color to stay in the lines. </div>

I distressed the edges with a favorite little Tim Holtz gadget (linked below) and mounted the panel onto some Bazzil Candy Hearts Card Stock. I stamped the base with two colors of ink off set from each other using one of my favorite Impression Obsession background stamps (also linked below).</div>

Wow! I am finally taking the time to post on my blog. It's been a wild and crazy spring at our house. In February I started taking a class to get my license to operate short wave radio. It was a lot harder then it seemed but I passed my test two weeks ago, I've received my call sign… KG7LET (in case you are as strange as I am and you want to know), and I'm currently shopping for a radio. That being said, I have a little more time to document my crafting fun. </div>

Currently, I am completely enamored with the new <a href="http://www.onlinecardclasses.com/" target="_blank">Watercolor for Card Makers</a> class that is happening right now on <a href="http://onlinecardclasses.com/">onlinecardclasses.com</a>. I've taken most of the classes they offer but this is by FAR my favorite class I've ever signed up for. It seems from others that I am not alone in this sentiment either. If you haven't signed up, it's not to late. </div>

Whew! I guess I should consider it a good sign when my life is so busy it's hard to find time to do some card crafting these days. I've been dying (no pun intended) to play with some new dies and stamps and today is finally that day. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Since today is the first day of <a href="http://www.onlinecardclasses.com/CS3/" target="_blank">Online Card Classes</a> "Clean and Simple One Layer Cards", why not combine my playtime with homework time? Ahhhhh... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Last March, I took my first online card class and loved it. I still love them all and get so excited for new ideas and techniques. This technique has been around for a little while but I've never done it because it seemed like a lot of work. It actually came together a lot quicker than I thought it would, and it was fun. </span></div>

Below is a picture walk through of some of the steps in making this card (when I remembered to snap a picture). For the background, I used Simon Says Stamp new large dot stencil and went over some cardstock with first SSS Audrey Blue ink and then off set it a little with some Hero Arts Unicorn white pigment ink. I finished it off with my favorite Spatter stamp from Impression Obsession with Hero Arts Blue Corn flower ink.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Next I die cut the United States from Lawn Fawn's new stamp and coordinating die set using this fun paper from Pebbles. I thought it would be perfect to send a fun card from "all of us" to my son who is out of the country. I used Jennifer McGuire's recommendation to ink around the edges of the die cut to ground it a little to the project. I then die cut the United States out from the card base and substituted the other one in its place. </div>

Following the same process, I covered the back with typing paper and adhesive I die cut the "hello" out of the card and removed it, substituted a sunshine yellow version and very carefully replaced any little pieces that came loose during the process. I also die cut and replaced the red heart and covered it with a clear glitter pen and some glossy accents.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Two coordinating strips of paper on the side and it's finished. It's technically probably not a one layer card because it's adhered to a white card base but everything does lie flat. </div>

I live in the northwest where it the winter's can be long and the sunshine sparce. This winter especially has had a lot of rain and snow not to mention ice. Today I was in the mood for some sunshine so what better way then a bright cheery card?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I love pigment inks and find myself turning to them more and more often. One of the benefits of pigment ink is that it stays wet long enough to add embossing powder. For the background on this card I clear heat embossed over the top of these triangle banners. I love how it adds such a shiny, raised finish to any project.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">These critters from Hero Arts are so fun to color and if you keep a stash of finished little guys then your card will come together fairly quickly. I used some dimensional adhesive to pop up the owls and also the sentiment frame behind them. I added some Glossy Accents to the eyes...and wah lah...done!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW2l9u5VXO6tQReMWsVsqdbm6XfiWqGRjno9eMr9Ol6KLx8MfC8CLlpE0otGiHLT6vph9BUxKUInFpe5dFglNCm5-t1MR9v6FcD6IFBRxjifodQ297zVCMN9thfMIQnDwuV4GrBZGTZQLi/s640/blogger-image--864980315.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW2l9u5VXO6tQReMWsVsqdbm6XfiWqGRjno9eMr9Ol6KLx8MfC8CLlpE0otGiHLT6vph9BUxKUInFpe5dFglNCm5-t1MR9v6FcD6IFBRxjifodQ297zVCMN9thfMIQnDwuV4GrBZGTZQLi/s640/blogger-image--864980315.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Here is a look at the finished card.

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It's been awhile since I took the time to work on collage techniques. Being snowed in last weekend gave me lots of time to spend crafting away. Though I combined several techniques, it came together much faster than it might seem.</div>

I NEVER get tired of the look of resist with Distress Paint, and Antique Linen is my favorite. Notice the sun rays in the background, it gives such a subtle softness and you can keep playing over the top of it and the look will continue on through the several layers. LOVE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Heidi Swapp honeycomb stencil is just layer over the top of the rays and colored with Distress Inks and an Ink Blending Tool. The Happy Birthday was cut from white card stock and colored with a Copic Marker and blotted with some colorless blender on a piece of cloth. I never get tired of this gorgeous textured look. The Hero Arts bird I stamped in Cup O' Joe Shadow Ink. I stamped it on a scratch paper first to get a faded look on the card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
To finish off background, I had to try Jennifer McGuire's idea of using glitter embossing powder over the stop of embossing paste. I used Simon Says Stamp Falling Stars Stencil for this.</div>

I am absolutely in love with the new Basic Grey 6x6 paper pad called Fresh Cut in Simon Says Stamp's February Card Kit. Maybe I am done with the cold weather and just ready for spring or maybe these papers are just beautiful…or maybe…both. I loved this floral print so much I felt it deserved to be framed, so I did just that. </div>

I also love the coordinating flower stamps that came in the card kit and decided to stamp a tone on tone background in Hero Arts Soft Pool Shadow Ink. Below are a couple of pictures of the process. It's so easy to do with results that make me happy.</div>

Once the background stamping was complete I die cut two of the Fresh Cut papers, one for the centerpiece and one for the frame. I am loving the detail on the die cuts that I am getting with the Vagabond. The metal shim from My Favorite Things makes ALL the difference. </div>

Hello. (No pun intended) I wanted to share a quick card I made a few days ago. This is a card I made for a friends birthday. I actually made an entire set because it was so easy to put together. I find that winter birthdays are plentiful and simple card sets like this one are quick to put together and yet appreciated by everyone. </div>

The card front is Neenah Desert Storm. I started with Impression Obsession "Houndstooth" background stamp on top using Hero Arts Wet Cement ink for a tone on tone look. I then stamped over the top of that with I.O. "Spatter" in Hero Arts Unicorn White Pigment Ink. Yep, it's still a favorite one. :)</div>

I am in love with the big HELLO stamp from Simon Says Stamp, as are so many of you. You could, however, switch <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">out the scripty saying for a printed one and adapt a more masculine feel.</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> I kept it simple so the background could really take the focus. To finish up I added white dash lines around the edge and mounted the front to Papertrey Ink Simply Chartruse cardstock. </span></div>

Happy Stamping!!</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I can't believe the cold temperatures in many parts of the country. I was watching the Atlanta ice storm yesterday as I have a son living there. Crazy! Stay warm and safe wherever you are.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm not sure why, but lately I am drawn to softer looks in my card making. I especially like the use of white on a single color. Maybe I'm hoping for an early spring. Another thing I like is how versatile many of the beautiful Valentine stamp and die sets are. Love is ALWAYS in the air. You can adapt most of these for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings or just a simple, I Love You card. This is one example of using this beautiful Simon Says Stamp heart wreath for a wedding card. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1xguHz8uHz08tge6yDv1hALnim1D76TWuDudBQpckd_YKb2FXBBfO6x9fjoKp2vOX4NBC1m5adF8TEI_ISubTzpteSVI4hbkLaXjZXijW2BWNnjQO0-DPgaLRsuAszj88-YcMOgPnTDQ/s640/blogger-image--51827311.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1xguHz8uHz08tge6yDv1hALnim1D76TWuDudBQpckd_YKb2FXBBfO6x9fjoKp2vOX4NBC1m5adF8TEI_ISubTzpteSVI4hbkLaXjZXijW2BWNnjQO0-DPgaLRsuAszj88-YcMOgPnTDQ/s640/blogger-image--51827311.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">By using a soft ink color on this bold geometric background stamp it transforms it into something quite elegant. Trying for different looks with the same supplies are probably one of the funnest and most addicting things about this crazy hobby. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTDb-M-vg5olzIDrjhea7zMzaRXXs3z7ZKuDk7UG0vajM6qVcDXBom15uMrxYMJm4n1DkXrm9HCAcfnJ0T60zQolI5n2X_DuiSHV9jVid-MsuJub0DENcYEpaSFy4jkiCsSyNe-rAZTtvj/s640/blogger-image--1349383245.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTDb-M-vg5olzIDrjhea7zMzaRXXs3z7ZKuDk7UG0vajM6qVcDXBom15uMrxYMJm4n1DkXrm9HCAcfnJ0T60zQolI5n2X_DuiSHV9jVid-MsuJub0DENcYEpaSFy4jkiCsSyNe-rAZTtvj/s640/blogger-image--1349383245.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">To finish it off, I white heat embossed the greeting on vellum and scattered some pearls and a little clear Wink of Stella on the hearts around the wreath. Have a beautiful day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />

I'm popping in today to share a quick card. I've seen this technique from a couple of different blogs and thought it looked really cool. I white heat embossed this "Happy Birthday" greeting on the Kraft card stock and then again on the red and blue. Using several different sizes punches, I cut out circles from the red and blue card stock and overlayed them on top of the Kraft. I really like the effect. I will have to try this one again soon. </div>

Today I got a chance to play with some new stamps and dies that arrived in the mail. The first is a birthday card. I don't know about you, but I seem to know a lot of people with winter birthdays. </div>

To make this card, I white heat embossed the word "birthday" and then stamped the flowers over the top. Antique Linen Distress Ink helped the embossing to stand out.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">
I fell in love with this Papertrey Ink "Love" die the first time I saw it and had to have it. I love the beautiful window effect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">
I die cut it from the center of the card, glued it to some pattern paper and then adhered that to the back of the card face. To get it centered right, I temporarily attached the patterned paper with some post-it tape, applied glue to the Love die and then pressed it into the center frame. I then removed the post-it tape and glued the entire panel in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">
The border around the frame is stamped once again using my all time favorite background stamp, "Splatter" from Impression Obsession. I use this stamp all the time. I used Charcoal Grey Shadow Ink and Unicorn White Ink both from Hero Arts. </div>

I thought I would pop on here and share some recent cards I made. I love when you can keep a process the same but change out the stamps and create completely different looks. This makes it easy to crank out multiple cards that would work for a gift set or just to restock your available card supply. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This first one is my favorite. I am loving the Memento Luxe Inks and these chevrons are done in nautical blue. The paint splotches are Hero Arts Cement Shadow Ink. This color combination would be great for a guy's brithday card.</div>

This second one is the same format but done in bright spring colors. The Penny Black daisies are another stamp I turn to all of the time. Notice once again the "Splatter" stamp from Impression Obsession over the top of the "Fluff" stamp, also from Impression Obsession.</div>

I thought I would pop in quickly and share a gift set I made over the Christmas holidays. This one is all Hero Arts. I love how this background stamp looks when you white emboss it on kraft card stock. I then, used some double sided sticky paper and covered it in micro fine glitter and die cut the Thank You sentiment several times. I colored each thank you in a different color using Copics. To finish up I scattered some pearls on the cards.</div>

Hi! Terri here. I'm popping in as promised to share three more Christmas tags I've been working on for the holidays. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I love the freedom the larger tags give you because you are not limited in space.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This first tag is a Penny Black stamp with a Hero Arts sentiment. I love her spunk and fun personality and so I had to use her on a package for my daughter.</div>

I went bright on the copic coloring and used Star Dust Stickles and my white gel pen for accents. It's amazing how much fun you can have with a white gel pen. Knowing when to stop having fun is the hard part for me. I finished her off with glossy accents on the goggles and the surf board. </div>

More snowflakes? Yes please. I'm also in love with Evergreen Bough Distress Paint. I mixed in some Broken China and Brushed Pewter for this background. I silver heat embossed the greeting and of course, center stage is Lawn Fawn's adorable Polar Bear from their Critter Series. </div>

Hi. It's been a long time since my last post but that doesn't mean I've not been crafting. I've actually been very busy working on an art journal for my daughter. Hopefully, I will post pictures one of these days soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Today, I thought I'd share a sampling of some tags I've been working on while there is still a few days left before Christmas. Some of them are already under the tree so the pictures aren't the greatest. I hope you enjoy them anyway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I know this Lawn Fawn Bunny has been around for awhile but some things are so cute they never grow old. I'll probably use it a few more times on a few more packages before I'm done stamping. :)</div>

I love this deer in a Santa hat SO MUCH that I colored him multiple times and he flew out on many mailed cards and packages. My grandma used to have a book about Davy Deer and His New Red Scarf. It's not a scarf, but it's a hat…and it makes me happy.<br />

I used some Penny Black Stamps on the next couple of tags. I think this boy and girl is so cute. Copic coloring during Christmas movies is fun and relaxing. Except the part about trying to keep what I'm coloring a secret from those watching the movies with me.<br />

This last tag, is a Hero Arts Christmas Tree Stamp. It's not a great picture so sorry about that. I colored the tree blue and red to match the wrapping paper. The stars are covered in Christmas Red Stickles although you can't really tell by the picture.<br />

Hello friends. Today I'm sharing a card once again using the Distress Paint resist technique that I love SO MUCH! I love, love, love how it resists in a matte finish and dries flat like printed paper instead of raised like ink. You honestly can't tell it's been stamped. I think it is a beautiful technique.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The star bursts in the background are stamped in Antique Linen Distress Paint. Even though I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment over the top the star bursts still shine through the ink. Isn't that a cool trick? This collage is really an eclectic mix of just about all of my favorite stamp companies. There is some Jim Holtz, Penny Black, Hero Arts, Impression Obsession, Simon Says Stamp and of course the beautiful sunflowers from Lawn Fawn. </div>

Hi everyone! Happy Fall! I am loving the changing leaves, the fresh crops of apples and pumpkins and the cool crisp air. I was putting together a fall themed care package for my son and inspired by the current <a href="http://lawnscaping.blogspot.com/2013/10/lawnscaping-challenge-67.html" target="_blank">Lawnscaping Challenge</a> I had to use Lawn Fawn's incredible "Into the Woods" stamp set, 6x6 paper pad as well as their "Tag You're It" stamps and die sets to make these adorable gift tags. The "Into the Woods" set is probably my all time favorite stamp set. Who wouldn't smile to get a gift with these cute little guys?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I would have included a picture of the tags on the packages but got excited to get them mailed and forgot to snap the picture. I just may need to find someone else to send a care package to.</div>

Just popping in with a quick happy birthday card. I love how the pop of color on the sides can make such a difference and it is so easy. I just cut small strips instead of using a larger piece under the main card front. What can I say? I am very stingy with my patterned paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The greeting is colored with memento markers. I love this technique because it is simple and you can get so much versatility from your stamps this way.</div>

I have been so inspired by the online card classes this month. You can check them out <a href="http://www.onlinecardclasses.com/">here</a>. I haven't posted much because I've been working on an art journal for my daughter. It's my first time to branch out and do something besides card making and I'm finding it to be more fun than I thought. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Today I am posting a birthday card that uses a lot of techniques I have learned from Creative Chemistry 102. One the striped background you can see the silhouette of the dot stencil pattern with a combination of distress inks overlaid on the top. The random lines are stamped in Peeled Paint. The shadow effect is really cool.</div>

The numbered background behind the flowers is a Hero Arts stamp that is inked in Picket Fence Distress Paint. I LOVE this resist technique. It's beautiful for one, but I love that it is smooth when it is finished rather than the raised effect of embossing powder. It makes it look more like a printed paper. I also love the option of not dragging out the powders and my heat tool. </div>

The vase for the flowers is manilla card stock covered in Broken China Distress Paint. When it was dry I applied some Metallic Bronze Distress Paint and spayed it with water. I rubbed it off when it was only semi dry creating a really cool aged effect. I die cut the vase from a Memory Box die that you can find linked in the supply list below.</div>

You will recognize the one that I already shared. You can check it out <a href="http://papercraftingsunshine.blogspot.com/2013/09/loving-lawn-fawn-leaves.html">here</a>. All three cards feature the stitched journaling card from Lawn Fawn. </div>

The background on all three cards was made the same way. First stamping an image on white card stock, than coloring in the image with Distress Ink. </div>

Hello Friends! I've been dying to try out several new products that have been sitting on my craft desk crying out for some love and attention. I am loving Lawn Fawn's Fall Release. OH MY HECK...these leaves are so much fun...and that woodgrain backdrop stamp? I didn't think I would love it...I LOVE IT! Can you see what else there is? This beautiful stitched journaling card is the perfect size for so many projects. When I started playing with it I couldn't stop. I had to make three cards with it yesterday. I will post the others very soon. </div>

This <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/think-big-favorites-3-mini-stamp-set/">greeting</a> is from Papertrey Ink. Their Think Big Favorites are beautiful and I find myself falling back to them often. I stamped it in Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I love how clean and crisp of an image it gives you every time. It is my favorite ink for stamping greetings and fine detail. </div>

Distress Inks are my newly re-discovered love. There is just nothing in this world that can compare with what these inks can do. My husband was blown away by the rich color and could not believe that outside of the base, this card was created with white card stock and distress inks...and Lawn Fawn of course. :)</div>

Hi, It's Terri Johnson. Happy Thursday! The skies here are overcast and it seems like fall is determined to visit soon despite my best efforts to stay in denial. School is starting and life is rolling forward. Even though I am sad to see summer come to a close I love the magic of fall. I love the leaves, pumpkins, holidays, and apple pie. I love breaking out my sweaters and jackets...and I LOVE the new fall release stamps from Lawn Fawn!</div>

When my stamps arrived in the mail, I just had to carve out time this week to play with them. I couldn't decide wether to play with the beautiful sunflowers in Our Friendship Grows, or the adorable deer in Into the Woods...so I combined them into one. I mean seriously...how sweet are these stamps?</div>

I'm so in love with this little guy. I had to put some rosy cheeks on him..or her, and of course some white little dots on his backside. I put dimensional adhesive behind his back and double adhesive behind his head so he stood out in front of the flowers. Eeek! The sunflowers were just begging for some glittery, shimmery fun, so what's a girl to do? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I colored the flowers and the deer with Copic Markers and used the Fiskars Grass Punch for the strip at the bottom. The clouds are from Blue Skies and the sentiment uses Riley's ABC's and Critters Ever After. I used the little trick from <a href="http://nicholmagouirk.typepad.com/things_that_really_matter/2013/09/stamptemberr-blog-hop.html" target="_blank">Nicole Magouirk</a> this week about just coloring the word(s) you want to use on a stamp with a Black Soot Distress Marker. Brilliant!</div>
