Peaceful Petals Artsy style

We had several days of rain last week so I decided to make something that was bright and cheery.
The Peaceful Petals stamp set ( #133104 wood, 133107 clear) can be adapted to many techniques, so I chose sponging and water coloring for my techniques.

After stamping and coloring the flower I added some Crystal Effects to the flower center.
The floral theme was repeated on the inside. It was stamped ever so lightly with Smoky Slate ink.
I ended up using the Big Shot for the remainder of the project.

Card stock and ink colors used were Pool Party, Crushed Curry, Crisp Cantaloupe, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White.
Accessories include the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and Standard Platform, Apothecary Arts Framelits, Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Finishing Touches Edgelits, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing  folder, Basic Pearls, Sponge Daubers, Aqua Painter, assorted markers and Crystal Effects.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday Owl

I have a friend who loves cute cards so I decided this one would be just what I needed to make.  The design was CASED from a card by demonstrator Kerry Bunting.  I love how this happy little owl is dressed in pink  flowers and holds a bunch of balloons.
The sentiment is from the Punch Bunch stamp set.
This will be a hand-delivered card because of the fun ribbon and bow on the card front.  I hope it will be a happy surprise when she opens it!
