Card Recognition

Happy Birthday





I have to admit that I have pretty much given up on trying to keep up with all the card challenges, because in addition to the ones I've played along with and love, there are often new ones cropping up in my overflowing blog reader... so if you follow my blog, I stick to a few and occasionally branch out... so when multiple crafty peeps played along with this week's Inspired by all the Little Things I found inspiration (and no guarantees of remember to play along again).  I used the flower trio stamp that my friend Lindsay designed for Impression Obsession.  I stamped the tag first and realized that I wanted the colors to be closer to the inspiration painting, so I made the card second (literal girl is showing her hat again).  The top card uses a Verve Stamps sentiment and the tag uses a Lawn Fawn sentiment and May Arts ribbon and PTI dies.  I want to expand my water color pencil supply, anyone have any good leads on any sets?  And totally unrelated, I wrote a fun blog post yesterday on my campground blog about my spirit of adventure and how it runs in the family, click here for a little armchair travel.

Two great projects. I follow Amy Rysavy...she usually posts on fb about great pencil market or watercolor sets on amazon.

Both your tag and card are wonderful! I love your water color look! I agree with Karen, Amazon usually has the best deals.
