A Nod to Mom

Mother's Day is nearly upon us, and I still can't get enough of the soon-to-be-released Crate Die.  So I decided to use it to make this:

Such a lovely crate of flowers!

I began with a wash of watercolor - Soft Sky ink with an Aquapainter made for a pretty, soft background.  Once this was dry, I began to build my crate of flowers.

Jar of Love (thankfully sticking around for another year, as it is one of my favorites!  But if you want to save 10% on the bundle, purchase it now--this disappears in the new catalog) makes a lovely bouquet.  I stamped Rich Razzleberry and Peek-a-Boo peach flowers, Pear Pizzazz and Lemon Lime Twist leaves, and Pool Party/Marina Mist or Powder Pink/Berry Burst mini flowers and cut everything out with the Everyday Jars framelits.

Teeny Tiny Wishes (also hangin' out for another catalog year) was punched with the Classic Label Punch to finish off my card.

And if you look closely, you'll see the Wink of Stella that I splashed on the flowers and bees.  So pretty.

Does this mean I don't have to send real flowers to my mom?  :)

Another Spooky Sky!

So have you placed your order from the Holiday Catalog yet?  No?  Why ever not?

Let me give you a reason...

Somehow I must like spooky skies.  I have done quite a few (see them here and here).  But I got to playing with some of my new "schtuff" and decided I HAD to sponge another spooky sky.  Take a look:
Got lots o' new stuff going on here.  Let's start with those adorable houses.

The Sleigh Ride Edgelits are truly going to be a huge hit from this catalog.  I LOVE these houses!

Now what might be a bit difficult to see is the paper I cut them out of...That's Black Glimmer Paper!  OMG, so sparkly and fabulous!  Just makes my heart go pitter-patter!

I backed each house with a snipped of Crushed Curry cardstock to give the windows a spooky glow.

I sponged my sky, starting with Crushed Curry ink.  Once the corner was done I punched a mask using my 2" Circle  Punch and a post-it note.  This was placed over the sponged area to keep it yellow, and I began layering my sky colors:  Island Indigo, Elegant Eggplant and Night of Navy.  Then I removed my mask and sponged Tangelo Twist over the moon and outwards for a spooky glow.

"Boo" is cut (again from the Black Glimmer Paper - oh I wish you could see the sparkly goodness in person!) using my Big Shot and the new Boo to You Framelits Dies.  So cute!

Wanna see even more sparkle?
Again, this photo does NOT do it justice, but that white ribbon is the new 3/8" White Glitter Ribbon!  Bears repeating - OMG, OMG!  Especially since it also comes in Gold...and better still--YOU GET BOTH THE GOLD AND THE WHITE IN ONE PACKAGE!  I squished up one section with a little bow of Black Bakers Twine; can you say LOVE?.

I went with an oldy-but-goody for my sentiment - Teeny Tiny Wishes, punched out with the Washi Label Punch, and some Rich Razzleberry Candy Dots

I'm just about ready for Halloween...
