And now for my project:
With Mother's Day just around the corner
I made this lovely card for my mother-in-law
The roses are a  file from the Silhouette Store
I used Design ID #66298

I created an offset and resized it almost to the size of the

original cut.  I cut both pieces out of white paper.

I watercolored the offset using Tim Holtz Distress Inks

in Pickled Raspberry and Mowed Lawn.

 I used my Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Markers

to color in the top layer.

The card base is from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon 

The Just for Mom stamp set had just the right

pieces to build my sentiment.

I also added a few of the large pink sequins

from the Dream Catcher Mix.

A Spring Bouquet

Hello and Happy Friday!!

In case you didn't know, Craftin Desert Divas is now

carrying sequins.  The were released with the April Release last week.

Today, Tara is adding several new types of sequins today and

I think you are going to love them!!  You can see all the

new sequins in the picture above or in the shop HERE

Over on the CDD Blog today, several of the DT members are 

sharing projects using some of the new sequins.

I used the Spring Bouquet Sequins on my card today.

 I wanted to do something other than a shaker card to show

that you can use sequins even if you don't do shaker cards!!

I used one of the cute little bears from the

Blooming for You Stamp Set as well as the sentiment.
I colored the bear and the background using my Spectrum Noir Markers
and the paper and sprinkles are from Doodlebug.

Thanks for stopping by today :)

Here's what I've created for you today...

I have created a pretty simple card, but I just love the

way it turned out!!  I used the Just Bugcause Stamps and Dies.

Most of the ladies on the team used the cute little buggies

from this set, so I decided to do something a little different.

I stamped a bunch of the leaves onto the corner of this card

and then colored them all in using my Spectrum Noir Markers.

And then just to had a little more interest and dimension,

I used the leaf die to cut some leaves out of different

Doodlebug Pattern Papers,  I pop dotted them randomly

over some of the colored leaves.

I embossed my sentiment using Zing Embossing Powder, but

I am a sloppy embosser...lol  I always seem to get

specks of the powder  where I don't want them even when

 using an embossing buddy!!  I added a few Doodlebug Sprinkles

and a little bit green twine.  I also used my Prima Distressing Tool

to rough up the edges of the white paper.

There is a link to this free SVG pattern somewhere in today's hop lineup.

We have a new lineup and freebie for tomorrow's hop.

Your next stop on the hop is the amazing NICOLE

Today we are showcasing HAPPY THOUGHTS.

Here's my project I've created for you...

My granddaughter just turned 12 last week and I needed a birthday card for her.

I decided to use the cute girl from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set, but I covered

the kite with the balloons from Totally Turtle from the March Release.

I just cut out the balloons only and glued them over the kite,

 I colored her in with my Specturm Noir Markers

 I decided to use the new Banner Dies to make a little shaker.

I used the smaller banner die, and cut the window with a

Spellbinders die.  The numbers are from the All Aboard Stamp Set.

I also used the new True Love sequins!!

The Happiness Enclosed sentiment is from the new Happy Thoughts Stamps. 

The pattern papers and Sprinkles are from Doodlebug

For the inside I used a sentiment from Bring on the Cake

I added a little money pocket on the other side

and tucked in a little cash!!
