Seeing Green...

 Hi.  This card has lots of green!  I usually make a card with those colors this time of year, as one of my close friends has a  birthday on St. Patrick's Day!  I made this card using the stamp set Newton's Birthday Balloons from Newton's Nook.  I love coloring Newton up in orange tabby colors.  I guess I love Newton and coloring him that way, because he reminds me of my Ralphie!  Ralphie is a Red Tabby and a Polydactyl cat and such a character!

I also used Avery Elle Stitched rectangle dies, papers from my stash, Creative Memorie's pen, The Fine Touch colored pencils, a Studio G stamp and Impression Obsession Black hybrid ink.  I used Decorating Chalks to color the blue behind Newton. I used the green pen to color little shapes onto the balloons.  The Studio G stamp I used has a swirl and a four clover flower.  It is hard to see, as it is stamped on the green background behind the layer with Newton.  I had a good time making this card.  I hope you like it!

Hearts...

 Hello.  It has been a bit since I've posted, and I hope you are all doing well!  I made a card using the awesome image "Heart" by Sandra Van Blaricum.  It was the image shared for this month's Progressive Challenge at The Outlawz.  I also used the sketch from The Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge as my guide on my card.  Sketches help so much!  I hope you like my card.

Happy New Year's and a card...

 Hello.  I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year's!  I hope you all have a blessed and happy year ahead!  We don't have anything special planned; just hanging out here at the house with our kitties.  I got to eat so much good food and yummy treats over the holiday; now I need to eat like a normal person again!  lol...  



Here is a card I made using the image "Decorating Tree" from Anne's Digital Art.  It is the image she shared with all of us for The Outlawz Progressive Challenge.  I enjoyed coloring it.

Merry & Bright...

 Hi.  Hope everyone is doing well!  I am still fighting Covid.  I retested Tuesday after a week of being sick and still testing positive.  It has been a doozy, and hubby and I are so ready to feel better.  So many people are sick right now, and my heart goes out to all of them!  I haven't been able to do much of anything since getting sick.  It flared up my syncope problem and Meniere's.   So glad to finally be able to post a card.  

For this card, I used the Gerda Steiner stamp set "Merry & Bright".  I used Azure alcohol markers, Spectrum Noir markers, Prismacolor color pencils, rik rak, bling/dots, and papers from my stash.

I hope you like my card.  Be well and stay safe!
