Thought I would share something to warm us up! This clean and simple card worked up quickly with reverse masking a circle and sponging 3 different colors of ink over it. The palm tree image is from Creative Visions. Kept the overall look of the card simple in order to keep the focus on the colors. Stay warm and thanks for stopping by!
Did you know that there is a waterlily in the Amazon where the leaves grow between 4 and 6 feet wide and can hold a child? I would love to see something like that! So while there are no giant waterlilies here there is a waterlily card!
The image is from Creative Vision called Lily Pads and is found here. I colored the image with copic markers. The water was colored using several blue copics – alternating light and dark colors.
It’s “hot and humid” season here in Florida! Time to stay in the air conditioning or head to the beach. So, here in my craft room I want to cool down by coloring some fall leaves. Here is my latest card..
The leaves are from Creative Visions called Two Leaves shown here. They are beautifully drawn and nicely detailed. I colored them with copic markers in shades of red/purple to coordinate with the basic grey paper. The brad is from Nunn Designs.
Who does not love roses? We have a few knock out rose bushes in our front yard and they seem to bloom forever here in Florida. Did you know that the color of roses each have their own meaning? You may have guessed that red roses symbolize love, and white roses are for weddings – reflecting young love and pink represents gratitude. Yellow roses signify friendship and I thought I would make a card with a yellow rose.
The image is from Creative Vision called single stem rose shown here. It was colored with copic markers and sponged with grey ink. The patterned paper is from DCWV which has a yellow, green and grey pallet with bits of glitter throughout.
We’ve seen a few bluebirds this year but none have elected to nest in any of our birdhouses. We are fortunate to have a nice variety of birds that “hang out” in our backyard and we provide feeders, birdhouses and a birdbath for them. The area directly behind the house is wooded and I am sure that helps. So…..a bluebird card is called for!
The image is from Creative Visions and is called Bluebird of Happiness and is shown here. It was colored with copic markers. The patterned paper is from Memory box.
Hello crafty friends – I’m back at my blog again and over the next couple of weeks I will be showing some cards I recently made for Creative Visions.
This is a cute and easy card to whip up – I colored the flowers with copic markers and sponged the sky with memento ink. The cloud is a shape cut with my Silhouette.
The image is from Creative Visions Spring Flower set shown here.
How is your garden growing these days? We’re in the process of revamping our front yard and hope to make it a bit more colorful and decorative. Right now we have some nice bushes in front along with a rose bush or two, but that is about it. I’ve been looking through gardening magazines and loving all the pretty flowers and greenery. So much to chose from!!
While I have my mind on flowers, I made this card using the geranium stamp from Creative Vision, found here. It was colored with copics.
Some gingham ribbon and embossed background add texture to the card. Hope you like it!
Thanks for stopping by today!
We are very blessed to be living near the water here in Florida. The beaches have sugar white sand and the water is shades of emerald green and turquoise blue. We have incredible sunrises and sunsets. So, inspired by the natural beauty around me here is this sailing into the sunset card.
The image was stamped with memento tuxedo black ink and colored with a variety of copic markers. The background was sponged with memento inks. The stamp – called Sailboat Scene – is from Creative Vision stamps and can be found here.

Hello crafty friends. Here is a quick and easy card to do when you just want something clean and simple.
Versamark resist technique
I stamped the fern image with Versamark and heat set it (no embossing powder) onto glossy card stock. Then I sponged several colors of memento ink over the entire card front. That’s it!! Quick and easy but a nice alternative look in using those foliage stamps. Just add little ribbon and some bling and you are done.
The fern image is from Creative Vision Stamps and can be found here. You don’t just get one stamp – you get three! A large, medium and small version. I used the large and medium stamps for this card.

Several times a week my husband and I do a morning walk as part of our exercise routine. Since we live in Florida it can get a bit hot and humid during the day so we get up before the sun rises and get in our 3 miles and often are rewarded with beautiful sunrises as we make our way home. During those mornings when the sunrise is especially pretty it is like being rewarded for getting up so early.
So…with sunrises/sunsets on the mind here is a quick and easy card I did…
The blowing grass image is from Creative Vision Stamps and when you buy it you get two sizes – this is the larger of the two. It can be found here. The sentiment is also from Creative Vision.
I stamped the image with memento tuxedo black ink then sponged various colors of memento ink to create the sunset colors. The sponging technique is quick and easy and with the right color combination can create beautiful backgrounds.
