Happy May FWF!!

Glad it is May and that the
sun is finally shining after a very
cloudy, wet week.  Welcome
hop with lots of fun Unity gals!

This design of all the colors
up the side is a take off on
Laura Bassen's card HERE.


The butterfly is from a Layers Of 
Life set, the other 2 stamps are
from a grab bag.  (The
banners are from a Papertrey Ink set.)
I used lots of DIs & sequins from 
Hobby Lobby & Michaels.

The design of my second card is a 
case from Jill Foster. She made it
look so easy!! HERE is the original.


background flowers,
Christy Tomlinson Distressed Quilt
and the big flower & leaves are from 
2 Layers of Life sets. Distress Inks.

Painted the inside of the flower
with the same ink I used to stamp,
just put some ink on an acrylic 
block & misted it with water.

I've been out of my studio too
much, I'm hoping my creativity
is on it's way back to me soon!
Thanks for stopping by &
I hope you have a great
weekend with lots of time
spent outside in the sun!
