Simon Monday Challenge

EDIT: This card earned me that SSS
Designer Spotlight Badge on my sidebar!

Taking part in this week's 

Simon Monday Challenge to use 

rubber or clear stamps. I used them both!

The sentiment is from the SSS Blessings set.

The leaves are from Unity.

I smooshed Distress Inks on my Tim Holtz

watercolor paper. Embossed the leaves with 

Ranger Platinum EP and watercolored them

wih the same DIs. Added a few splatters, too.

Thanks for stopping by!

September Pin Sights Challenge

Time to post for a challenge before my blog dries up and blows away!

The challenge is from the CLASSROOM.

The Essentials by Ellen product I used is the 

Amazing Women stamp set that includes the word Sister.

My sil in Washington state celebrates her birthday next week 

so this will be on it's way tomorrow.

Here is the inspiration photo:

I used some white embossing on navy

and chose the colors for my balloons from

the color swatches.
