I am so glad you are stopping in today! It's a fun day over at Concord & 9th! Its another day of the Birthday Bash Blog Hop! I have a couple of cards to share today and there are prizes!
First up is my card using the set Pop Art Pineapple (all supplies linked below)...
I did a very simple watercolor wash with my Peerless watercolors. Then added that adorable Pineapple stamp and sentiment over some silver thread. To finish the card off, I added in some clear raindrops.
This next card showcases the set called Tree Hugs. I am from Colorado and my favorite tree is an Aspen. So when I first saw this set, I knew I had to have it.
This is a simple, one layer card. I simply stamped the trees and then the heart and sentiment. I added in some red hearts and the colored in the background and trees with some Pebbles Chalks. Super easy!
Now for the prize! Leave a comment here for your chance to win a $20 gift card to Concord & 9th. Comments will close Monday, August 22nd at 12pm CST. Head on over to Concord & 9th to check out all the details for their Birthday Bash! Thanks so much to Greg and Angie for having me along on the hop!
Hope you all have a great day!
Supply List:
I love both of these cards because they are CAS and I too love Colorado so now I must have that stamp! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI love the wash on the pineapple card. Gives a nice background to show the pineapple. Your second card reminds me of carving initials on a tree. Love the pop of color.

I love both of your CAS cards!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are simpless and lovely, but nothing is sweeter than the trees with the "carved" sentiment. Perfect "just because" or anniversary card. My wheels are turning for our 27th wedding anniversary coming up next month. Thx for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteI'm not from Colorado, but I'm in agreement with you about the aspen trees. They're so striking, especially when they're wearing the colors of Autumn. Thank you for reminding me of how much fun it is to use those Pebbles Chalks...I think it's past time to pull those out and see what I can do with them.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards!

ReplyDeleteSucha pretty splat of color behind the pineapple!
ReplyDeleteThat splash of blue behind the pineapple is genius!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice cards. The pop of color really shows off the pineapple in the card. The second card with the "tree carving of initials" or "you and me" in this case, I am sure, sends us all back in time to our younger days!
ReplyDeleteLove that tree card!
ReplyDeleteI love the "You & Me" on the tree trunk. So cute!
