love birds

More Blue Skies from me. I just can’t help it! Haha! I love their dimensional stickers. They have such cute details and make a great quickie card! I also love this Martha loop punch for grass now. I think it works so well!
The “love birds” rub-on was originally laid out with “love” on top of “birds”. I wanted a different look, so I just cut apart the rub-on and applied them side by side.…

This Donna Downey set is super gorgeous. I got it at Limelight, and they have a great price and amazing customer service! Love them! I used my different coastal inks and dabbed them on the flower image for a blended look. I used my American Crafts Stamp Markers to do the sentiment. They work so well for highlighting certain words in sentiments!
I am so enamored with this ribbon. I had to force my hands…

SPCC #28

Welcome to another SPCC challenge! Here are this week’s colors:
And this week there is another prize from iCopic !! So cool! Now, I have to admit, this little tag isn’t my favorite. I had something imagined in my head, but it just didn’t happen. Even with that, I think it’s important to post and learn from. I have such a long way to go if I ever want to make anything distressed! I…
