BLOOM - you are worth it!


Hi friends!

I'm sharing a card that you may have seeen on Instagram

earlier this week.

I'm so grateful for the scheduled option

which is perfect while traveling :)



This is a card I created for a very important awareness hop

that was hosted by a friend.

I really wanted to showcase the beauty of life

(flowers blooming)

and the importance of how special every person is.



So Gina K Designs was a perfect choice!

This is from her set Flower Medley.

I ink blended the flowers in different tones of pink and peach

and used her oval stencil to create a background.

The flowers were also created using the coordinating stencil.



Off to tackle a mountain of post travel laundry

and catch up on papercrafting!


Take great care,

Kelly

Hello from the tropics!


Hi friends!

Happy Friday!


I'm sending you tropical greetings from afar!

We are on vacation this week and next

and making some amazingly beautiful plans - 

our family is so incredibly blessed  <3

I have a few blog posts and cards to share

a little out of order so stay tuned!




This card literally melts my heart.

I created it when my granddaughter was with me for 2 weeks

in a fun, creative way.


Video will on my YouTube channel soon but

You can view the REELS on my Instagram channel here!




         This gorgeous large floral stamp and die set are from Altenew

called Bountiful Bouquet.  It's a beautiful layering stamp set

and I did stamping onto the watercolor background.

I just love the bold, vibrant colors!

To create the watercolor look, I used waterbrush markers,

also from Altenew.

I added a background lattice die and added a frosted vellum

underneath and a bit of splatter to give it a dew look!


Here's another look:



   Thanks for stopping by!
