Can you believe these are pictures of raindrops?

This is Our World, brilliant colorful raindrops. Their is so much beauty around us and all we need to do is look and see with our eyes. Being amazed by the tiny wonders of the world around us inspired inquisitive mines to photograph raindrops. These water drops were taken from plants just after it rained. I wanted to share the beauty of these pictures with you and I do hope you enjoy them as much as I do. They are just stunning.
  

I do hope you enjoyed these beautiful picture as much as I have. Thanks so much for stopping. Have a wonderful week end. This world has so much to offer us to see and we need to appreciate all the beauty we have around us.

Challenge I brake for stamps

Just the way you are

Hello everyone. At Cards for Men challenge #4 is Valentines Day/ Love it starts today and ends February 26. Our sponsor is Fresh Brewed Designs.
The images I used are called Hannah Belle Ladybug and Dipped Strawberry.

Hi. I am Heather Dennis. I am a homeschooling mother of 2 wonderful children, the wife of 12 years to the love of my life, a Christian and the owner of Fresh Brewed Designs. I have loved to draw and create ever since I was a child. My daughter has inherited my love of art and recently inspired me to start creating again.
All the images in my shop are hand drawn. I offer a wide range of images from coffee, cute and inspirational. I also love to create custom drawn images, so if you are looking for anything in particular, please feel free to drop me an email.
Prize: 3 digi images of your choice
 
The dies I used are from Memories Box called Tilda Swirl and Cherish Border. Created the sky with a template and sponged with brilliance sky blue. I did make the strawberries real small. I  did her outfit by paper piecing. I did use copic markers to color my image. The sentiment is from a set of Stampin up stamps called Sprinkled Expressions.

I hope you can join us at Cards For Men. Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week.

Beauty in Nature

Over at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday our challenge has started and for this week we are doing MASCULINE cards. I do hope you join us. The challenge ends February 15 and you need to tag your card with TT020912 when you enter. I’m looking forward in seeing all the wonderful creations. I have not done scenery card in awhile and I have been wanting to do some. The design of my card is something I created, I was having problems with some of the other fold cards in keeping them to stay standing. I’m happy with the one I created because it stands up real good. I’m not quite done with it because I need to do something for the front and when I have that all figured out I will share the how to make this card with you so until then I will show you what I did in the inside.

My card is kind of flat here. I did mask some things. I created my scene with several brilliance inks (you can use all kinds of dye base inks) This is on matt paper. It is important to make sure all your inks are dry before you add any other inks.  I used a lot of different stamps and I did touch the memento tuxedo black ink with some white ink to put in some highlights.

If you apply any ink over the mementos ink MAKE SURE IT IS DRY because if it is not you are going to smear the black ink and you do not want to do that..

I do hope you like my card. I will be doing a different scene. Then I will share the how too and will have it totally done. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs Patricia
