Speedy's Friends' Challenge #74 Wings and Things...

This was a quick card for Speedy's Challenge to use something with wings on it.  I used one of MFP's stamps, stamped it in black and did my card in vanilla and black.  It was pretty quick and easy (for a change.)  :>)

SC352, A Rainy Morning...

Today was sketch challenge day.  I really loved this sketch.  When walking my dogs this morning, it was kind of dark and rainy.  I wanted to see if I could capture some of that emotion.  I used a scalloped circle to help me with my cloudy sky.  All of the blue in this card is not quite navy, by SU.  I like how my rainy sky turned out.

Blue Poinsettia...

I recently purchased this PSX stamp and even got it on sale.  I think PSX stamps are so wonderful.  They have lots of flowers and botanicals, unfortunately they are now out of business.  You can find some on ebay.  Anyway, I did my first card with this stamp in pinks, and wanted to try it in blues.  I watercolored the image and paired it with some green dp.  Fun!

Flourishes Siberian Iris - For Me...

I posted this card on SCS and said that I did this just for me.  I love doing the challenges, but sometimes it's fun to just do what we want to do.  Of course, I think the challenges help to grow us and show us how to do things we wouldn't otherwise think of doing.  I love watercoloring, and I love this image, so it just made sense that I paint this today.

CC340, Fall Hydrangea...

This card was made for the color challenge and we were to use pool party, poppy parade, and peach parfait.  I used a fun collage stamp that I really like.

QFTD78...

This card was inspired by one of Dianne's on SCS.  She was the 78th queen for a day.

Always Thankful...

I just made this card purely for fun.  I watercolored the pumpkins and decided to make a little pumpkin patch.  I used the work "Grateful" from the new SU set, Always Thankful.  I love fall and the warmth from all of the colors, the fleece tops and sweatshirts.  I wish it would last longer.

FTTC133, Timeless Tuesday - Orchids amongst the Leaves

I made this card for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday bingo game.  I chose the row that had embossing, pearls, and pink in it.  I started off having so many more papers involved and then it surprised me as it got more simple.
