Carnations and Delphiniums 16

Hi there! Today I have a fun and colorful oil painting to share featuring carnations and delphiniums inspired by Nancy Medina. I love the bokeh look in this painting. This painting is on a 12" x 12" canvas. Can't wait to repeat this painting on a much larger canvas.

I'm linking my painting to the Paint Party Friday site:

Hi there! It's Mona here today with a thank you card to share featuring a variety of Poppystamps products. I'm also sharing on the Poppystamps blog so if you have a chance, please feel free to stop and say hi HERE :)

My card features a fun butterfly shaped shaker. To create this card, I used one of the Stitched Butterfly Trio die to cut a butterfly window on a memory box Stitched Rectangle Layer. I filled the shaker with sequins then layered with another Stitched Rectangle Layer. I added a Pretty Stitches border.

The fun background was created using the Heart Pattern Plate and the sentiment is from the Hope and Thanks stamp set.
