Happy Friday!

Edited: Thanks for Geri for the heads up that my watercolor card will fit in the current Moxie Fab challenge, Wonder Watercolor World.   Thank you so much Geri!

Just popping in for a quick post at the end of a fun day...met my daughter for lunch at our favorite taquaria, The Tortilla Factory in Newark, it is an amazing little market/restaurant.  My first card is one more using the beautiful flowers that Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea sent me from The Cutting Garden stamp set from PTI, in fact all of my cards tonight are made using the fabulous supplies she sent.  I will also be entering these in this week's challenge at Simon Says Stamps Anything Goes. 

 My next 2 cards are made from heat embossed images and then water colored. These tulips are simply amazing, so beautiful.  What a fun technique to try out too. The pink tulips are using paint brush dipped in water and then on the ink pad, the red one is from using a reinker with water and a paint brush. I love the look of the water coloring and is really was very easy to do. A fun way to color an image without having all those pens that I really don't need, right? Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by to peek at my cards....have a wonderful weekend!

Sending You Happy Thoughts

Today I wanted to finish up a get well card to send to Joyce's mom (Cards-by-the-Sea) who has been in the hospital for a while.  I wanted to make something bright and cheery since it is springtime, I thought this would be a great time to break out the tulip die! Renee (It's A Patchwork Life) was so sweet to send me a lifetime supply of these wonderful windows and window boxes and they go so well with the beautiful tulips, my favorite flower. The inside of the card reads, "sending you happy thoughts, feel better!" I hope this card brightens her day...thanks for taking a peek!
