ICS BLOG HOP-FABLE FRIENDS

Happy Spring! This month on our Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop we are featuring spring-type stuffs!!!  So nice to be thinking about warmer weather, flowers, birds, sun! Although here in New England it hasn't quite hit full out yet! Very anxiously waiting though!

Here's my card:

It's really part of a little suite I did.

I love this fun little stamp set-Fable Friends!!! I originally bought it because I needed to do some baby cards & loved the little ducklings. But this will be so much fun for spring occasions & will remain in my stash for a very long time! You can still find it in the Occasions Catalog until June 3!!!

Here are the other 2 cards that go with the little suite I did!

Other materials used on these cards are the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper (love that vellum sheet!), Duet Banner Punch, Stampin' Blends, Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins,                 Wink of Stella, Old Olive Linen Thread.

Now please hop over to Debbi's blog & see what she has to put you in the spring spirit! Then keep hopping!!! Lots of "spring-spiration" here!!! See what I did there??? lol Just simply click on her name or the icon below to get there!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!

IT'S COLORING DOWN THE LINES TIME!!!

So I'm home from Germany & trying to get back on track! It was the most amazing trip ever!!! So much fun!!!! Unfortunately I brought back a souvenir I really didn't want-my son's cold!!!! But I'll live! lol  

It's Coloring Down the Lines time so I got to stamp again, & I really missed it!! So here we go!

I'm sandwiched this week between Carol's amazing blog & Liz's awesome blog!!! So if you're visiting from Carol's, helloooo!!! Please keep going to Liz's and beyond for some great fun!!!

Here's my card this week:

Here's the inspiration:

And here are the Stampin Up! Colors in MDS:

So I dug through my stamp sets & decided to use one I haven't used in awhile-Gifts of Kindness! It's one that I've really loved from the beginning. Problem is I loved it so much I used it over & over & over....!!!! But I'm so happy to be visiting my old friend again!! lol

I threw in a few of the super cool In-Color Sequins! They are so little yet add so much!!!

I went for the watercolor affect by coloring the stamp with my 

Stampin' Write markers & spritzing with the Stampin' Spritzer! Just one pump will do!

The 2 embossing folders used are Tiny Triangles & One Point (from the Holiday Catalog). I kinda liked the way they went with the banner. I added the sentiment from A Dozen Thoughts cut with the Small Oval Punch for a variety in shapes. I thought it was a cool contrast!

So hope you enjoyed this week! Now go skip over to Liz's & see what's waiting for you over there!!

Happy Stampin'!!!
