Hummingbird birthday

 Hello and welcome!

I have a card to share that I was

working on over the weekend:

I used a brand new (to me) hummingbird layering die that

I'm so loving right now!

Shades of green and a pop of red. The ruby throated

hummingbird is the kind that I have zipping around my

hummingbird feeders. They are so much fun to watch!

Here's the finished inside:

Well, that's it for now. 

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

Mixed media birthday card

 Hi there crafty friends and welcome!

Today I'd like to share a very colorful card that

uses papers I created with dye inks.

The inspiration for this was this card that Amber Rain Davis created.

(Thank you, Amber!) While she used watercolors on her version, I

created a bunch of panels using Magenta Nuance powder dyes and water.

All the flower and leaf parts were die cut from these once dry.

I splattered black acrylic paint onto the card base, and once it was dry,

adhered the flowers and leaves. I heat embossed the sentiment

and used the coordinating die to cut it out.

Another sentiment finishes the inside:

I absolutely love how this turned out! So bright and colorful! 😊

That's all for today. I appreciate you visiting.

I hope that you have a wonderful day!

A Tiny Craft ATC February Challenge

 Hello and welcome friends!

The team at A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge had a lovely

holiday season and now it's time for the

challenges to resume! This month,

the theme is NBUS: never before used stuff!

(Thank you, Darnell, for allowing us to 

use your moniker! It's all out of LOVE!)

Simply use those new crafty goodies, and/or perhaps

use something you had in your stash, but haven't used yet.

Here's my offering:

My new stuff is the floral stamps and the paper.

I know one of the big trends right now is alcohol ink backgrounds,

but I haven't jumped on that band wagon yet.

I did the next best thing: I bought a paper pad in

a rainbow of alcohol ink backgrounds!

I ran the panels though a scripty embossing folder, then

brayered white ink over the raised parts so they

showed up a bit better. The flowers were heat embossed then painted using

a water brush and Derwent Inktense blocks. A bit of 

ribbon and some of Tim's small talk stickers and these were done!

Here are some close ups:

I hope that you'll join us for our NBUS challenge

and link up your ATC cards or coins at

A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge. We'd love

to see your creations!

Thanks for visiting, I hope that you have a great day!

A birthday mix of old and NBUS

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

It seems like it's been a long time since I've posted anything,

so I'm changing that right now. :)

Here's a card I've made using a mix of older

and new stash:

and the inside:

Like probably most of you, I took advantage of one of the

gazillion sales at the end of last year/beginning of this year.

My NBUS is the layered flower dies from Altenew.

(I may have pulled a 'Jennifer McGuire' and made

a bunch of these)

After a few days of cutting and slowly gluing these

together, I needed another day or so for my eyesight

to readjust. LOL!

I love a little bit of snark on the inside of a card,

so, this sentiment was perfect.

(This will be sent to my best friend, who's birthday

is coming up!)

We survived the current storm, with a couple inches of snow

which turned into a rain/sleet mix. Happy times. Not.

I can't wait until warmer weather shows up.

That's it for now. More cards to make!

Thanks for visiting!
