Thanks | Stampin' Up! Blended Bloom


Happy Saturday! :)

I hope you're having a lovely weekend. I had a wedding to photograph yesterday and have one here shortly. :) I didn't have any time to stamp, but thought I would share a quick card I made a few weeks ago to say thanks to my momma for hosting Grant's 7th birthday party! :)

I used Stampin' Up's Blended Bloom stamp for this card. Oh my goodness it is still one of my favorite flower stamps ever! So big and beautiful! I used my zig clean color real brush markers to do all of the watercolor. I wanted a large "THANKS" die cut for the front of the card. I layered 5 die cuts on top of each other using matte muli-medium liquid adhesive. :) Then I took a spectrum noir glitter pen and some glossy accents to top off the die cut. :) It's so much prettier in person!

I hope you have a blessed day! I better get ready for my wedding today!

Hugs & Smiles,
Ashley

Riley Popping Pumpkin color challenge and video


Happy Friday! :)

 I hope you're having a lovely day! :) I decided that I would create a fun card for the SCS color challenge at 3am this morning when my eyes couldn't take staring at the computer screen any longer editing my photography clients images. LOL! :) It was a nice relaxing 20 minutes and I even videoed me creating this card.  

I absolutely adore moose and can never get enough of them. This cute little guy is from Riley and Co. He makes me smile! I did some simple copic coloring and it was just so relaxing.  

I hope you enjoy the video! Have a blessed day! 

Hugs, 
Ashley

They are quickly becoming one of my favorites! :)
