Ruby's Bridal Shower Bloghop!

Hello and Welcome Everyone! I'm so thrilled to be hopping for Ruby's Bridal Shower. If you haven't heard the news, the big day happened on Saturday, September 24th.

Amy planned this hop with a bunch of crafty friends to celebrate, papercrafter style! Before you hop around, here are a couple words from the blushing bride:

"Steve and I are very excited about starting a new life together. We look forward to beautiful memories in a new home and lots of adventures overall. We are grateful for the support and love from our family and friends. My heart is full, and I truly feel so blessed and loved. :)"

This is the inspiration photo for the wedding cake:

I decided to base my card upon the photo. Flowers, pink and a touch of green. I used these pretty florals by WPlus9 and the sentiment is by Altenew. I did some watercoloring to the floral images.

We're thrilled to be offering up a couple prizes:

Mama Elephant $25 Gift Card

Winnie & Walter $30 Gift Card

Kennedy Grace Creations $20 Gift Card

Winners will be selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop! Commenting will close on Saturday, October 22 at 11:59 pm pacific. Winners will be posted on Amy's blog on Sunday, October 23rd.

RG Journey Girl Locket

Hello Everyone!! Today I have something different to share. What..."Jewellery" YES!!! I love these Journey Girl Locket as I can personalize them as I want.You can put the pretty charms which are available or get a bit creative and create to your own liking. 

For today, I decided to give it a touch of Switzerland :)

So let's go to Switzerland's most famous mountain: The Matterhorn - mystical, majestic, kind of tooth shape pyramid :) You all must be familiar with it as it's on the packaging of the famous Toblerone Chocolates!

I decided to draw and watercolor one for my locket. For the texture I used Ranger Crackle Paint.

While creating this I got another idea...Do you know the national flower of Switzerland? It's "EDELWEISS" and my inspiration

I am very happy with the result. Hope you get some inspiration to create lockets from your country or a country you're going to for holidays...the possibilities are endless.....

Happy Birthday

Special Day

Hello Everyone!! It's Tuesday and that means I have a card up on the SugarPea Designs blog :) So after having lots of gloomy days we had a little sunshine for few hours a few days back and it made me so happy. Juts a little sunlight makes such a big difference. So I had the theme "SHINE" in my mind and saw this stamp set and rest is history....lol

Love how this card turned out. I made the light grey stripes first and then used all the pastel shades from my Caran d'Ache neocolor2. Love the soft feel :)

I used "Sparkle and Shine" stamp set and "Layered Treat Label, ZigZag Stitched Rectangle " dies.

Hello Friend

Hello Everyone! Finally I am feeling so much better, so I guess next few days will be busy at my blog as I have to share so many creations with you :)

Today is Tuesday and that means I am on the SugarPea Designs Blog today. I decided to use my older patterned papers, which I was hoarding :)

I love the new Stitched flag banner dies, so decided to use those. I also played with my mixed media products and it was so much fun :)

Amazing!!

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing a project using the new RG retail line "Make Amazing" by Richard Garay. This is a fun, trendy collection with the watercolor effect. You can check the catalog HERE It has beautiful florals too, which I used today.

I actually used the floral stamps to create this beautiful watercolored flower painting. It's another way to use the stamps, if you want to go beyond solid stamping. This center panel can be framed as well.

I stamped the images using Memento Angel Pink ink. Then colored in the images using Sakura Koi watercolors. I stamped the sentiment using the Black ink.

Hope you 're inspired to take out your watercolors and stamps :) Happy weekend!!

Supplies:

Make Amazing Happen Collection by Richard Garay 

Stamp: Amazing Happens, Amazing You
