Happy Anniversary

I couldn't wait to use this background stamp from My Favorite Things (MFT). I needed an anniversary card so this was a perfect time to use it. I used the colors from the Sunday Stamps Challenge blog:

I heat embossed the roses background with white embossing powder on the smooth side of the Tim Holtz watercolor paper and then painted the roses in with Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress markers and a paint brush.  The sentiment is from Winnie & Walter - I used the Cutaway die Happy and then stamped and clear embossed "anniversary".

Poppies a la O'Keefe

I have been catching up on making cards for the SCS Hope You Can Cling To (HYCCT) challenges. There is one challenge every day of October. We make the cards to send to MD Anderson Cancer Clinic in Texas for the patients and their families to use.  I have two more to do to catch up and I will post pictures of my cards here when I get the chance.  Today's challenge was to create a card inspired by famous paintings.  I love Georgia O'Keefe's paintings, especially her poppies. So I used my Penny Black Poppies stamp and colored it with Copic markers. I used the sketch from Sunday Stamps Challenge blog:

I am also submitting this to Virginia's View Challenge for October: Coloring
