I'm here for YOU 34

Hi! Today I'm joining along with the PTI Make It Monday challenge where the challenge is: background stamping using a sentiment. 

I made two of the same cards using two different sentiments from the PTI Round and Round stamp set. The first one is for my dear sister Marlene who is always in my thoughts and prayers:

The second card is for my sweet step daughter Meredith who will be turning 20 next week:

Both feature a double layered PTI Life Is Beautiful butterfly:

Up next is an 8" x 10" oil painting inspired by Daniel Edmondson:

For card sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with the MOJO Monday challenge:

as well as the Curtain Call Inspiration challenge: where the theme is Flutter:

I'm linking my painting to this week's Paint Party Friday site:

Many thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mother's Day 28

Hi there! Today I have a Happy Mother's Day card to share that I made for my dear MIL. I combined pretty blossoms from the PTI Vintage Linens set along with flourishes from the PTI Fanciful Flourishes set.

I used her favorite colors: pink and green.

I also have an oil painted garden scene inspired by Nancy Medina painted on a 12" x 12" canvas:

For card sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with the current CAS(E) this Sketch challenge

I'm also joining along with the Just Add Ink challenge where the theme is to "Just Add Stitching". (I used a stitched die for the background).
