Now fun the inspirational fun stuff!

This card I started with a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb card stock. I stamped images from Lawn Fawn Sunny Skys stamp set in Brutus/Monroe Raven Detail Ink . I used Moletow masking pen to mask my images. I colored them with copics.

 Once finished i sed a n exacto knife to carefully cut out the portion on the cloud and kite the would hang outside the MFT Blueprint Dianamic 13 stitched rectangle then ran it through my Cuttle bug. I chose the striped background paper because it popped the colors so well.

I love hot air balloons and thought this turned out wonderfully! SSS makes the hot air balloon set which I stamped with Brutus/Monroe Raven Detail Ink (my new favorite it seems to be excellent with all kinds of techniques). My sentiment from MFT Blue Skies Ahead is stamped in the same ink. The pine trees are stamped using Altenew  mini cubes and the rest of the images were colored with watercolor pencils and blended with a wet brush. i cut my card front out with MFT Die-namics Blueprint 13 and mounted it on a piece of MFT Cornflower Blue card stock.

I used my Zig Real Brush Pens on this card. I started by stamping my images and sentiment (which are from Impression Obsession Riding Pretty)with Brutus/ Monroe Detail Ink. I free handed the background. Everything was colored with the Zig pens and then blended with water 

This is my last card and most interesting to me. The images are from Hero Arts Layered Bird and stamped in Altenew Inks except the sentiment which is Brutus /Monroe detail ink. I had finished most of the card and wanted to add some color to the bird. Since I was away from home at the time I didn't have my normal supplies so I took a mini ink cube and dabbed the color on. I didn't realize it was putting tiny lines coming off the bird that looked like sun rays. At first I was upset but the more I looked at it the more I thought it was cool so I put more lines coming off the bird, flowers and leaves. I hope you like this technique born from an oops. 

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did creating them. Next on our line up is Jasmine. You won't want to miss what she has created so click the next button and it will take you there.
