Kylie's Top 10 International Blog Highlights Winners Hop December 2021

                                                                    

At the beginning of almost every month I participate in Kylie's International Blog Highlights. I ask for votes so that I earn my way to this hop. A HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who voted for my card. You can see that card HERE. YOUR votes bumped me into the top 10 so that I could participate in this hop today. 

Thanks Friends! This card is for YOU!
I did 2 techniques on this card - Negative Image Masking and Ink Blending. I just love the way it turned out! I started by die cutting a butterfly from the Brilliant Wings dies and placed that over a piece of 3¾ x 5 Basic White CS. I taped the mask down so it wouldn't move while I did my ink blending. I started with Daffodil Delight on the bottom, Mango Melody in the middle and Flirty Flamingo on the top. Then I used my Stamparatus to stamp the flowers from Forever Blossoms. I wanted to make sure I could go over them a few times if needed since the mask was still on. 


The gold shimmer ribbon and the Brushed Brass Butterflies (from the upcoming Jan-June Mini Catalog) add an extra touch of elegance to the card, imho. 

I added a tiny butterfly inside too :) A fun and gorgeous technique! I hope you enjoyed today's card share. 

Thanks again for voting for my card! Voting opens on January 3rd, 2022 for the next one.

HAPPY STAMPING!

HE is Risen. Happy Easter

 Today is not about me, us, or stamping, but I did stamp. I woke up with an idea and had to get it down on paper. 

Today the Glory is to God. 

I started by using my blending brushes with Mango Melody, Melon Mambo and Highland Heather ink on a piece of Basic White Cardstock. I just hand-drew a hill using my black Stampin' Write marker. Stamped the cowboy and colored him in then colored the ground using my black Stampin' Write, Black Stampin' Blends then I sponge Memento ink on top. The crosses are simply hand-drawn as well. Nothing fancy here, just something I felt I needed to do 💖🙏

The inside was stamped with His Love and colored with Blends. 
I hope you all have a Blessed Easter and you remember the true meaning of the day. 

It's GORGEOUS here in Illinois. We have family coming over. We'll be grilling and playing lots of fun yard games. 

HAPPY EASTER!!!
