Lola's Bouquet & NBUS!

Time for

In Bloom: Lola's Bouquet with Joni Andaya

AND, because this is a NBUS set, I am sending over to Darnell's famous challenge...the 7th one!

Oh look at the wonderful teeny detailed images in this fabulous set!  I have a very dear friend that gifted this wonderful set to me a few weeks ago!  Michele and I have "old fashioned" chats on the phone every week!

When I saw this month's RERUN challenge at Winnie & Walter, I knew this was my chance to finally play!

I made a mask of my Cutaways Hello and sponged on some Simply Chartreuse ink to create a cloud-like effect.  I then stamped some of these darling tiny images around the letters with the mask in place using just 3 colours of ink.  for the smallest rolled rose image in the set, I flipped the stamp over so that I could ink it up in the same colour and stamped off once on a srcap of paper and then onto my card to fill in the rose images.

I had such a blast creating a card for this challenge and using this new to me set that I had had my eye on.  Thank, Michele for your generosity and all of your chats!

So...I have not even played yet with the larger images in this set and you may see another card before the deadline!

Thanks for peeking in and have a beautiful Sunday!

Have you seen the latest card from this week's Muse Michele yet?  Let me say that it is so trendy and current with all of the elements present...check the colours, florals and background!  Here is what I cam up with using a similar colour combo.  

-I used a Karen Lockhart telephone stamp inked with Memento Tuxedo Black 

-coloured with Copics and SU Hello Honey 

-background is stenciled (as seene here from Jennifer Mcguire ) with a SSS stencil Dots and Lines inked once with PTI white pigment, then a second layer with Staz On Dove Gray

-PTI delightful Dahlia coloured loosely with HH and cut into three sections to layer under grid panel

-unknown bubble sentiment watercoloured with HH and hand cut

Hello Friend

Hello again!  This is a second post for me today.  Another friend, the talented and card perfectionist extraordinaire, Anita of My Papercraft World is also on a design team and this would be for Time Out challenges.  

This challenge #22 had an element in it that was on my wavelength today.  Still feeling groovy from my previous post this morning, my eye spied the gorgeous floral pillow and I happened to have a colourful page of Basic Grey "Lime Rickey" out on a shelf...

All of the DT cards are lovely as are the cards submitted so far.  So many great elements in this photo to take a cue from and I wanted to also include the red hello and wood element.  As it happens, I have accentuated another heart and I am considering this to be my "Second Cup" for the MUSE challenge #100.  

No song title this time.

Thanks for stopping in and taking a peek!
