You Still Give Me Butterflies card

I really love these bunnies from The Cat's Pamajas.  I recently found 3 sets of stamps on eBay that are no longer listed on their website - major score.  This is the first of those.  I drew in the net to add to the design.  I also added a distressed ink background.

Good Friends card

Everyone has that one friend (or two) that are fun to be with and will be up to getting into adventures that you might have hesitated doing but that one extra drink gives you liquid courage.  This is the card for them.

Birthday Bee & Daisy card

This new set from Honey Bee stamps is so adorable.  The head on facing bee is the one that stole my heart.  I did masking to make the scene with the flowers and bee.  I highlighted the bees wings with clear Wink of Stella to make them sparkle.

Keep Calm & Blow Bubbles card

This is the perfect card for the scuba diver that you know.  Honestly the only bubbles being blown in my household are catnip ones for the kittens but I know lots of people that do go out and dive, locally in summer or much nicer and warmer places in winter.  I put some clear Wink of Stella in the bubbles to help make them pop.

Sorry I Was Crabby card

I bought this stamp set because this little crab made me laugh. A lot.  What a perfect little creature to use for an apology.  Plus he's a very quick coloring.  I used 3 different reds to add shape to him.  Hmmmm, I notice I keep calling this crab a him.  :)

Unforgettable Elephant Birthday card

I just loved these little elephants so much I couldn't resist doing another card.  I used a dark gray to make this a more masculine card since I have lots on hand that are feminine.  I used the same colors as in my last card because I liked the combination and they worked great with the paper colors.
