Waffle Flower

All Ears! – Waffle Flower

Are you listening? Actually, better put, what are you listening too? Or who are you listening to? Good questions to ask ourselves! Wise words for some, aren’t the wisest for others since everyone’s circumstances are not always the same! Playing with Waffle Flower images again today, this one by Helen Dardik, “Enveloper Listen.”

Every time I see this image I think of hands over ears going, “nana nana nana, I can’t hear you.”

 

The Lil’ Inker Designs Fringe Scalloped Rectangle Die makes that cute little punched scalloped edge. I used Copic Markers for my coloring and embossed Versafine Onyx Black for the sentiment.

Hard to see from the photo’s but, there is a new Hero Arts product on the flower cut out along the edge. I tried the new Crystal Clear Lacquer Pen squeezing a layer over the flower to gloss it up a bit. Really like the fine tip and easy to hold tube the product comes in.

This angle really shows the little scallops on the Lil’ Inker die. You’ll just have to believe me about the shiny flower in all it’s glossiness.

Pretty Butterflies – Waffle Flower

Butterflies make me think of warm days and sunshine. With snow flurries last night and lots of snow on the road this morning, trust me butterflies weren’t flying in my airspace! LOL! Waiting for butterflies and for the new Waffle Flower release! Always look forward to their new images and dies.

 

So while waiting for my order to arrive, these butterflies make a nice distraction.

The paper just melts coming out of the dies using my new Gemini Junior, so far just loving it! Watercolored a background and cut it to match the die cuts.

 

Happy Friday! Stay warm and cozy Spring is right around the corner!

Birthday

Birthday Friends

A special birthday card to share today, this one for our son who is nearing closer to the next decade! Time passes so quickly with our kids growing up in a blink of an eye but, thankfully I can recall all those fun memories like they were yesterday. This Happy Birthday die by My Favorite Things is going to be a favorite!  It paired up so nicely with the Pretty Pink Posh, “Birthday Friends,” set.

 

Using Copic Markers I colored up the images including a little shadow work on the balloons, here:

I wanted them to look a little realistic and I was happy with how they turned out.

And then, you have to have cake…..

Wish I was there in person to bake him one! Maybe the next time he comes home for a visit!

TROPI-COOL – Toucan Party – Avery Elle

The more the merrier! That worked for us these past couple of weeks when we traveled to Hawaii’s “Tropi-Cool” island, Maui. When Alaskan dark days and cold temperatures get to me I love nothing more than to take that five and a half hour flight to Maui. First hand I can tell you ” Toucan Party Better Than One,” when our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter joined us there! We enjoyed sunsets, rain, sun, sand, meals and just being together. During a rain storm we got to experience “Waterspouts.” They look like little tornados!  What a fun phenomenon! Granddaughter Lucy was the main attraction though, not letting us forget that she is calling the fashion shots in her super cute swimmy’s and multiple outfit changes.  Being back to Anchorage this week was a bit like a splash of cold water in your face but, refreshing all the same.

Here is a clip of the “Waterspouts!”

And now to catch up on some birthday greetings and a new release by Avery Elle now available online at Ellen Hutson!

Party only like “Tou-can,” here!

While we were away our grandson had a birthday! We hope this and a bit of cash help him celebrate, all over again!

That super cute Toucan Party set includes 4 sentiments and 9 cute tropi-cool images!
