YNS is going DOTTY!!!

With their challenge that is! It's time for Your Next Stamp's next byweekly challenge...todays challenge 15 is...yup, you guessed it...dots! I deceided to use severals kinds of dots. Dotted paper, white gel pen dots and big giant yellow dots...there are more, but they're hiding :)

I really love how this card turned out! I had origionally stamped the image and was going to leave the background white, but then I got a bee in my bonnet and decided that I wanted to bust out my craft ink pads and a sponge and go to town! So I made some masks (in honor of the Post-it Notes 30th Birthday) and made some masks for Fhionna and the clouds and then sponged using my craft ink...I love the way this looks, so bright and line free! Since I had already adhered it to the orange CS I went ahead and just pulled the sponge just to the edge and then let it be...SOOO cool I think!
I don't ususally use these bright colors, but i think they look FABBY...so bright and cheery! Love it!
Supplies:
Ink: stazon black, craft tempting turquoise
Paper: PTI white, Karen Frost DP, only orange by SU!
Accessories: Marvy scallop punch, white gel pen, sponge, 1 inch circle punch, watercolor
pencils and blender pens
Thank you sooo much for stopping by and I hope you play along with the

LPSC65 Lovely bananas

Hey hey hey! We have a lovely color challenge for you today at the Little Paper Shop blog! It's nice and springy!


Here is my card! I started by making a straight line on a piece of computer paper and then punching out 3 circles with the 1 inch circle punch...equally spaced. I then sponged the yellow using my craft inks and a sponge moving my template down and repeating 3 times.

Once the ink was dry I placed the sponge on top of the first row and then stamped the small rose from the {Rose} stamp set in different directions. did it on all except the last two circles where I stamped the sentiment...what do you think?

Supplies:

Anniversary and Inspiration!

It's our 11 year anniversary today and after 11 wonderful years, this is the family we have created! With God's provisions, love and mercy we have grown together. I am not the same person I was then at 19, I would hope I have grown and matured a lot since then and really do cherish this family God has given me! Thank you Lord Jesus for loving me enough to give me such a wonderful, loving husband! For this I am truly thankful!

This is one of my FAV wedding pics! It was taken at the church grounds where we got married, Cala Lillies are my FAV flowers!!
