Freezin’ Season

August 1, 2016 linda10 Comments

with record high temps and humidity, i wouldn’t mind if it snowed right now to cool everything down; i think just colouring a winter card helped.

this is the inspiration photo for the taylored expressions share joy challenge 46.

i used the fruit colours and this holiday grumplings snowman that i chose with the $20.00 gift certificate i won in april. i watercoloured with twinkling H2Os, added stickles to the ground, glossy accents on his buttons and flower soft on his hat.

i’m also submitting this card to the jingle belles’ prompt since it was one of stephanie’s cards (ingenious inkling) that made me laugh when she used this grumpy guy. my three of something: i used red and white stripes on the image and two borders.

i’m playing along with the taylored expressions’ share joy challenge 45: a sketch and/or colours that are just so pretty!

i’m a cloud watcher and i love painting skies; this one was painted with my twinkling H2Os and i used all the inspiration colours – the orange is in the flower centres on the flip flops.

Birthday Prezzie

this little taylored expression present die is so cute that i created another birthday card with it; i used the taylored expressions’ share joy challenge 44: a sketch and clean and simple theme.

i painted the prezzie with twinkling H2Os, added stickles to the dots and bow and popped it on foam tape; i used the sketch on the tag which was then attached to the card and the little flower from the little bits flip flop die fit nicely inside.

since caring for a family member, i’ve not had much time to create, other than scheduled posts, so i had fun making this birthday card for my daughter. i’m playing along with the taylored expressions’ share joy challenge 42:

i painted these cute taylored expressions present die cuts with twinkling H2Os, added stickles to the dots, cut the bows with glitter paper, added pretty pink posh gold stars, popped them on foam tape and finished it off with a splattered background.

i’d also like to submit this to simon says work it wednesday challenge: wafer thin dies.
