CAS Watercolour April 2017 Challenge - Pink & Green & Seize the Birthday -

 

I have had a great day playing in my craft room.  Cards coming together so easily.  I love it when that happens.

Here is my card for CAS Watercolour

Seize the Birthday 

Without the topping which is Vellum

Nancy asked why I didn't have this posted to STB and because it didn't have the vellum, I just didn't think about it.  So here it is.

Altenew's Hennah Elements watercolored with my Ziggs.. The Ziggs work so much better on Bristol cardstock.   Used a piece of Post it to mask the place for the sentiment.

Sentiment is from PTI's Bigger Blooms, base is Raspberry Fizz cardstock.

Nuvo Crystal Drops

Thanks for stopping by.

Make It Monday #217 with Laurie Creating Custom Borders

 

My card for  MIM 

Using other stamps to create your own border.  I wanted to use something different, hence the butterflies.  Not sure if it makes a good border.

Ok, so first of all I put the butterflies on the top of the card and then realized it needed to be underneath the top section.  I was able to get the butterflies off without much problem but the backs of the butterflies were not so easy to get the tape off so I opted to put them directly on the back of the card.   So a little improvising and I made it work.

PTI's Life is Beautiful, Heart 2 Heart #10, Bigger Blooms for sentiment, Bitty Dots vellum paper

Ok I am trying to upload a picture I took with my phone that I emailed to myself and it keeps coming up upside down.  The picture looks right when I go to the file but ends upside down when I try to post it.  I get so frustrated because I am not very computer savvy.

Anyway to tell my story, Julie Ebersole was teaching a class at Impress in Tukwilla, WA and a fellow blogger Kimberly Wierner was taking the class.  She had asked if I was going to be there and I had said no, but I would love to stop by and meet her.  And that's what I did.  My 9 year granddaughter, Avery went with me and we met Kimberly along with Katie Brooks, Amy Tsuruta and Julie Ebersole We had our picture taken with Kimberly and Julie.  It was awesome to be in the same room with all of those talented ladies.  I really wish I could get the picture to turn out right side up and believe me I tried rotating it several times.
