Rainbow of Hellos

 Hello again!

Who doesn't love a rainbow? This card was a fairly quick and simple ink blending project.  I debated which way to go about it - ink blend then cut or cut then inkblend.  Already having this die cut and in my stash answered that dilemma.  So I cut, taped everything together on the back, then ink blended.  I did cut it down in size so I would have a nice white border around it.  Added a die cut "hello" and I was done!  


For Following Challenges:





Supplies: 
Paper: Neenah Solar White 110 lb.
Ink: It's a Girl, Party Dress, Orange Twist, Limoncello, Grass Skirty, Oh Boy, Pixie Dust (Catherine Pooler).

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back soon!

Beautiful Floral Birthday

 Happy FriYAY!😎

Happy September too, I guess.  

I'm still in summer mode so it doesn't feel like September to me. I've been creating this week here and there and so I have some things to share over the next couple days. Today, I'm skirting in at last minute to The Paper Players challenge with Joanne's Tic Tac Toe Board and Cupcake Inspirations challenge.


I used the colors of Cupcake Inspiration with the top row of Joanne's tic tac toe board (Celebration, Flowers, Stencil).  I recently purchased this beautiful layered stencil by Catherine Pooler and Sizzix, Happy Garden. I used Lemon Sorbet, Creamsicle and Pistachio dye inks (Catherine Pooler). I added a decorative scalloped border (Catherine Pooler) inked from the Creamsicle as well. Below that I inked a small panel in Pistachio and embossed it with a wavy embossing folder (Sizzix/Stampin' Up).  The sentiment (My Favorite Things) I stamped in Twilight (Catherine Pooler) and cut from a banner die (Reverse Confetti). I added a little sparkle bling on the border and stenciled layer.
