Reverse Confetti SFYTT

Loving the sketch for this month and I just recieved the ballons set in with some goodies I bought from Simon Say Stamps. I love these balloons and happy to say I have a few birthdays on the agenda and many of them will be getting cards with these awesome balloons on them :). Here is the sketch for this month.

And here is my card based on the above sketch. I am loving these birthday papers from Echo Park and very excited to see RC bring out patterned paper (of which I am a bit of a hoarder) Oh and inks and cardstock too :)

Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge

For today's card I opted to go with the tick tack toe option and used the Ribbon Red and Scallops to design my card with. Here is the sketch and tick tack toe chart for this week

This card is going to a friend for her birthday and she loves roses so I had to be using the beautiful Rosy Posy Set of course. Thanks for stopping by and I hope your day goes well.

A heartfelt Thank-you for a dear friend

Today I made a card for an amazing friend who has been a rock to me since the passing of my husband. Friendships are the most precious of gifts and my father was so right when he told me that true friends are like diamonds...............rare and precious. I am loving water colouring and Penny Black have so many beautiful new releases that lend themselves to this :). Today I used my distress markers to water colour this beautiful floral stamp. I can see this one being inked often.

I am entering this card into the Penny Black Saturday Challenge September Nature

and the Simon Says Anything goes challenge as well
