From The Heart Monthly Stamp Challenge

Hello

 My card for today is from From The Heart Stamps. Ice Cream Lineup June stamp of the month.  I chose to make an easel card, using the Square bracket card flip card creations die from Kaisercraft  I cut the center image with the bracket die, colored it with my copic markers and added seed beads to the top of the ice cream. The other ice cream images were fussy cut and colored with copic markers.  The back ground papers are from Strawberry and Chocolate digital papers. I die cut the sentiment with the bracket die and popped it up with pop dots.

I would like to enter this card into the Stamp of the Month Challenge for June  at From The Heart Stamps

From the Heart Sketch #157 Challenge

Hello :)

Today I would like to enter the card below into From The Heart Sketch Sketch Challenge #157 . I used the stamp set Apple Blossom Birds. I cropped the image and die cut it into 3 circles and colored it with my copic markers. The background papers are from a web find that I have on my computer that I thought went well with the image . I added a pink bow and used a Spectrum Noir Clear sparkle overlay pen on top of the flowers and leaves.  I made the card from pale pink card stock from Stampin Up!.

I hope everyone has a great week!

Today is red rose day.  Nothing says love like giving someone a red rose. The rose is America's favorite flower.  The rose has many colors and each color has a different meaning.  If you plan on giving someone roses you should find out what the color means. My favorite is yellow.  It's meaning is joy, gladness, friendship, delight, freedom, the promise of a new beginning. Everyone could use a yellow rose to brighten their day!

Today I am sending prayers to those in Orlando that were killed in the night club shooting. God be with their family and friends as they grieve for the lose of their loved ones.


For my card today I used the Bee Happy Bird Brain image from From The Heart Stamps  I colored it with copics and gel pens. I added a bit of sparkle with a clear sparkle overlay marker to the center of the flowers and the bee's wings.  I used the octagon embossing folder from Stampin Up! and a bee and flower pp from my computer.  The bee stickers I found in my stash. I popped them up with pop dots.

Hello! Today is Sausage Roll Day.  I have never eaten one, but they sure look good!


The pastry part looks yummy. Add a little hot mustard and you have a treat.




For my entry to From The Heart Sketch Challenge #154 I used Inner Tube Bird Brain. I envey him relaxing in his inner tube sipping on a cool cocktail. It reminds me when we went on a cruise to Cancun and Jamaica. What fun that was! I would never go on a cruise today though. Or get on a plane. The older I get the more likely I am to keep my feet on the ground. lol

I used a swirl embossing folder from Hot of the Press and colored some of the swirls with Waterfall stickles.
I colored the image with my copic markers and die cut the waves from hydrographic paper using a Sizzix die. The sentiment is from the Inner Tube Bird Brain Set, that I die cut using the Lively Framelits fromSizzix.

I hope everyone has a great week!
