Flowers in your garden...

Olo!

This darling gal is one of the newest Gorjuss Girl stamps and her name is The Little Friend. She's another stamp that has been rather neglected considering I got her during my month of mermaids but now was the perfect time to finally get her on a card of her own. Something about her fun and funky ensemble, with the galoshes and apron, had me picturing her working out in her flower garden. But it's not just any ol' ordinary flower garden, no... Little Friend is all about being creative and eclectic. That's where this pretty paper from the Happy Glamper collection comes into play, I love how it makes it look like she has planted her flowers in old jars and re purposed light bulbs. Now I think I will enter this card into the current "anything goes" challenge over on the Sugar Nellie blog since I've missed the last couple months.

Have a good one crafty friends!

Olo!

It's day 2 of my 'month of mermaids' and I chose to print out the lovely Water Lily digi from Sugar Nellie. She's a recent purchase in preparation for this month's theme and she's currently on sale right now because before too long Water Lily will be discontinued and no longer available. Another mermaid daydreaming on a rock and once again I was inspired to color an entire scene for her. This time I went with a mid day look and gave Water Lily an inlet to call home... it looks so peaceful, don'tcha think? And I'm also entering this card into the current Anything Goes challenge at The Sugar Bowl. 

Alrighty, time for me to scoot. Have a wonderful weekend everybody!  :)

The flowers in your garden...

Hi there!

It looks like I can't pull myself away from the pastel color scheme because here I am again and this time a lovely little Gorjuss Girl got the treatment. What can I say... when you find yourself surrounded by pretty blossoming trees and blossoms in your day to day, I guess you can't help but be inspired. When I sat down to color and create yesterday I knew I wanted to make something for the current Sugar Bowl challenge and since it has been ages since I got a Gorjuss Girl on a card I went straight to the GG binder. I ended up choosing Rainy Daze because I really liked her fun hat and outfit. I colored Rainy to match this great floral print 'cause the black background adds a nice contrast to all the light pastels and she really pops. The rest of the design is super simple but I think it works.  :)

Ok, thanks for stopping by today!
