July Morning by Uriah Heep

There I was on a July morning

Looking for love

With the strength

Of a new day dawning

And the beautiful sun

At the sound

Of the first bird singing

I was leaving for home

With the storm

And the night behind me

And a road of my own

With the day came the resolution

I'll be looking for you

La la la la

I created a glimpse of dawn with a Sunny Flower from Scribble Designs (one of the many wonderful freebie stamps) using Koh-i-Noor pencils, MFT stencil, Nuvo embellishment mouse, Distress markers with spritzer tool, Distress Oxide spray, Spellbinders die, and Stampin' Up embossing folder. The inside sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co.

Only have Eyes For You - shaker, googly eyes

Shaka-shaka-wiggle-wiggle.  My card features stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie, a shaker dome and die from My Favorite Things, paper from Forever in Time, and wiggly googly eyes. I only have eyes for you.

Rainbow Blizzard - embossing resist, shaker. embossing on acetate

For a fun shaker card, I decided to go a bit out of the box and use a winter stamp set for a non-wintery love fest card. I made a Distress ink rainbow with embossing resist using snowflakes from Newton's Nook! To me, "If snowflakes were kisses, I'd send you a blizzard" is the perfect love sentiment year 'round. Let it snow!

Cowa-bunny - single layer, stencilling, masking, coloured pencil

Cowa-bunny, Dude! Sending Easter blessings your way. The sun has risen, let's go catch some waves. My early morning chillin' single layer card features stencilling, masking, and coloured pencils with Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, inks, and stencil, and My Favorite Things stencils. Aren't those shorts the bomb?

Woman of Wonder - single layer card, coloured pencil, masking, stencilling

Be a strong, brave, humble badass! Stand proud and be yourself. My aspirational single layer card features stamps by Unity Stamp Co, stencilling with a My Favorite Things stencil and Distress ink, and colouring with Prismacolor pencils.

Buzzy - Distress marker, embossing, stencilling

Busy as a buzzy bee but still here to wish you a happy birthday filled with "honey, kisses, and bee-utiful wishes". My card features stamps by Kraftin' Kimmie coloured with Distress marker on a double stencilled background with honey embossing using Emerald Creek Baked Texture. Bzzzt!

O Deer - stencilling

My card today features a reindeer bounding through the winter holiday season with a Magenta stencil and Southern Ridge Trading Company pine cones decorated with Silk microfine glitter.

Popcorn and a Movie - watercolour pencil, box

One of my favourite summer activities is binging movies. It's a great way to stay out of the heat from the sun and in a cool shady location. So, I made a popcorn box for holding popcorn with a binge-watching, popcorn-munching girl as the perfect pairing for a movie night. The box features a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps set coloured with Nuvo watercolour pencils, and two Spellbinders die sets. What summer movie do you want to watch first?

Bee Sunshine - stencil and stamping

A bright sunny card with a Beeeee! and a rose and a stencilled sun for a bright friendly card featuring Kraftin' Kimmie stamps and inks.

Flamenco - Sheepski Designs, mixed media, Prismacolor pencil

I recently went to see a performance of Riverdance for a friend's birthday and the first appearance of the Flamenco dancer inspired me to create a piece using the lovely Flamenco from Sheepski Designs as my inspiration piece for the May blog challenge with the theme "Favourite Colour". Red is one of my favourite colours, so the dancer in red under the sun sang to my soul.

My mixed media piece features Prismacolour pencils on canvas board with Distress paint and foiled die cut sun. The frame has been embellished with die cutting and colours to heighten the red.

Rainbow Day - Multi-stamping, masking, stenciling, die cuts

Walkin' with a rainbow when the sun shines through when it's been rainy brings a bit of a bounce to the step, that optimism bounce. My card featured a House Mouse image triple stamped with a Kaleidacolor rainbow ink pad and framed with a holographic die cut.

Sassy - glitter die cut and stencilling

Like a sassy butterfly rising into the sky, classy and totally kick-assy! My card features a sentiment from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, a die cut from Spellbinders glittered with Silk Microfine glitter, and a stencil from My Favourite things coloured with Distress ink and Clarity brush.
