Make It Monday #60: Generational Stamping

This is the second card I made for the Make It Monday challenge from Papertrey Inc. I love the colors outside right now, all the new bright green leaves and the beautiful pink flowering trees. The rhinestones in the daisies are yellow but they don't show that in the photo. Hope you had a great Easter weekend.

March 2012 Blog Hop

Below is the inspiration from PTI for their March Blog Hop. I Love these colors! I am blond and I can NOT wear yellow anything (wish I could), it totally washes me out, so it was fun to stamp with yellow today. I was drawn to the yellow polka dots and the aqua satin in the photo. I used my new Medallions Bkg to make the background. On the top half of the card, I stamped the same colors but just stamped off to make it lighter.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend (I DID!).

Supplies: all PTI unless noted, Hawaiian Shores Ink, CS, & Ribbon and SU Daffodil Delight Ink & CS, Medallions Bkg, Floral Frenzy Stamp Set, Scallop die, Copic Marker for rhinestone.

Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101

I am taking Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 online class, mainly because I am in love with on line classes. I love that I can take them from the comfort of my couch ;-) when I have time. But, I didn't know if Tim Holtz's style was for me and my simple/clean style.....but after today I think I might be falling for it. This technique is called- Blend, Spritz & Flick. Use the foam blending tool to blend colors and then flick water over top to make a cool look.
