Boot-iful Birthday Wishes

 Hello friends and welcome.

I've been very absent from my blog,

and I will explain that later in this post.

For now, though, I want to share a card

that I finally found the mojo to create:

This die set is actually a Fall themed set, but I wanted to

stretch it and make a more Spring themed card.

I'm not going to lie; it took me 3 days to finish this.

But I'm pleased with the final look.

A simple sentiment on the inside finishes this card:

I am going to enter this at Seize the Birthday #305 - Flowers

and also AAA Birthday #73 - Anything Birthday Goes.

 So, as I've said, it's been a while since I was last here.

If you follow me on Facebook, you'll know

that our beautiful fur baby, Colby, 

crossed the Rainbow Bridge a couple weeks ago,

after his health took a drastic nosedive in April.

He adopted us when he was 11 months old, and

he had just celebrated his 16th(!) birthday in March.

We miss him so very much, there is a huge hole

in my heart, but we rest easy knowing that he

is no longer in pain and in a much better place.

Thank you for visiting. I hope that you have a good rest of your day.

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #260 G is for Green

 

Hello and welcome snarky peeps!

It's a new month and time for the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

We'd like to see your predominantly GREEN projects.

With St. Paddy's Day approaching, this is a good time

to get your green on. But, if that's not your style,

anything green is good!

Here's my card:

I've used this image a number of times, and since it's one

of my favorite Stella digi stamps, I'm sure I'll use it again.

She's colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I've

given her wings, wand, and flower center some 

Nuvo Glitter Drops for the sparkle. Her glasses also

received a coat of Nuvo clear Crystal Drops.

I used dark green card stock for the mattes, although

it looks black in the above pics. I tried to angle

the card so you can see the glittery wings and wand.

Even the paper snippet I used came pre-glittered!

I hope that you'll play along this month in our Green challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

For more inspiration, do visit the blogs of my sisters and our 

reigning Queen, Rachel. You won't be disappointed!

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!
