Enjoy every moment

Enjoy every moment 2015
I’m a little late getting this posted today, sorry! It is time for The Outlaws Twisted Thursday challenge and the twisted for this week is PAPER PIECING. Our wonderful sponsor for the month of November is Ppinkydolls and the image I choose to use is called PRINCY. Love for you to stop by and check out all the designers cards and we have a 7 year junior guest designer this week and she did a wonderful card and gave it to her elderly Veteran neighbor, Mr. Bob.  Every year on Veteran's Day she makes Mr. Bob an art project.  This year I decided to draw him a picture of our American flag with the bald eagle. She is a very talented young lady. would love for you to join us.

Nature clouds are never the same

Nature clouds are never the same 2015
Our fabulous sponsor for the month October is

http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/
Hello and welcome today is the start of The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and for this week the twist is ANYTHING GOES. One of my blogging friends Vicki Parson from Stamp Smiles made a video/tutorial on how to make a Multi-colored background. I always love going to her blog she always has something that surprises me and I love that. I want to share that with you. I love what Vicki did but I did not have a die cut to make the kind of shape she was using. I have all kinds of shapes that might work and are very flat so I choose this one it is a stencil ruler from Deja Views by C-thur PA-620A.
Sorry, I was trying to upload the video and I kept getting ERROR OCCURRED  so here is the link to Stamp Smiles Vicki’s blog. If you can please leave Vicki some love.
Nature clouds are never the same 2015  r
Choose the distress inks mustard seed, fossilized amber, dried marigold, spiced marmalade, rusty hinge, aged mahogany and fired brick. Added glossy accents over the berry's and let it dry before I added the inks.
Nature clouds are never the same 2015  l
The stamp is from Penny Black called berry berry #40-412 slap/cling, I used Fun Stampers Journey true fusion black licorice ink to stamp the brush and sentiment. The sentiment is from Stampscapes plate 28B scenic sentiments sheet #2.
Nature clouds are never the same 2015  i
This is the inside. The sentiment is from Stampscapes plate 33B scenic sentiment sheet #7. Here is the close up. On the berry’s I did add some W1 and W3, just a little to give them highlights.
