Full Bloom

 I realize I am waiting until the last minute to take part in this sketch challenge, but I was determined to get it done before the deadline.

So this is Try A Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #669.  My card is kind of springy and flowery and the sentiment says it all.

And to all the Mothers out there, have a very Happy Mother's Day tomorrow! 😊💕

Mother's Day Flower

 It's a week before Mother's Day and I've been working hard on making Mother's Day cards for my mother, sister, daughter, friends, etc.  I thought that this sketch #684 by Freshly Made Sketches would be perfect for a Mother's Day card.  

I used a die by Technique Tuesday called Cosmos Flower for the focal point.  I cut it out twice in two different colors and used the cut-out pieces to fill it in.  The sentiment is from a Waffle Flower stamp set called Essential Celebrations.

Oceans Of Joy

 I decided to try working with this sketch by SplitcoastStampers.  Sketch SC1059 was landscape, which is not one of my favorite styles, but I could have turned it into a portrait style.  But I said, let me try this.  I liked the way it turned out.  The paper is from Echo Park called Fish are Friends.  I used a die cut set from Paper Rose called "Dolphin Dance."  The sentiment is from Seas The Day by Honey Bee Stamps.

Pelican on a Pier Post

 Happy Friday!

The stamp image on this card was one that I stamped and colored a while back.  I don't remember the maker of the stamp.  I thought it was time to use it and this sketch 682 was a perfect one for it.

The paper I used is by Authentique called "Voyage".  The sentiment is from a stamp set by Waffle Flower called "Birthday Wishes".

Shells and Fishes

Another Sunday night.  Trying to get this card finished before the night is over.  I went with fish and shells.  I could use this for a masculine card. 
So this is my card for Freshly Made Sketches #681.

I wanted a sentiment with the word "Shell" in it.  This one is from Lawn Fawn called "How you Bean? Seashell Add-On".  The Clam Shell die is by KaiserCraft and the fish are part of a die set called "Fish Family" by Paper Rose.

Easter Flowers

Happy Sunday!

It's rainy here in Hartford, but I won't let it stop me from being creative. 😊
Here is my take on Freshly Made Sketches #680.

A Little Sunshine

 Playing along with Splitcoaststampers today.  I had to search my stash for some octagon dies and I ended up finding some among the Spotlight Frames die set by Waffle Flower. This is Splitcoaststampers Sketch #1055.
