Monday Montage 184

I think "Winter" has been hibernating until this last month and decided to dump 3 months worth of precipitation and cold all in the month of February.  Crazy enough, we still don't have enough snow pack in our mountains.  I know winter isn't over, but I know once March hits Spring is on its way.  The Forsythia comes out, the crocus and daffodils start poking their little heads out of the ground and the temperature warms up.

I opted for  a Cherry Blossom stamp being that I have spring on the brain - I attempted the white embossing and the inside of the flowers are very sparkly with wink of stella, but I just didn't get the pop I was looking for so.....

I attempted it in black.  I like both of them, but the black is definitely more striking.  They always look better in person.

Ink - Versamark

Paper - Basic White, Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose, Petal Pink, Soft Seafoam

Monday Montage 183

Welcome to the Monday Montage Blog Hop !!

Feeling slightly jealous! I have friends that have been to Walt Disney World, San Diego, Las Vegas, and  Maui and here I sit at my computer just dreaming of any of those destinations.  Its all about timing.  When my boy crush gets well enough, we can definitely go places.

My card features the Perennial Petals set from the Jan-Jun 2021 Mini Catalog.  It is such a fun whimsical set.  The only thing I wish is that the Happy word in the stamp set had a matching die.  It's not hard to cut out, but would be better with a die.

Stamps - Pretty Perennials, Hardwood Background

Ink - Flirty Flamingo, Blushing Bride, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Black, Cinnamon Cider, Blackberry Bliss

Paper - Whisper White, Basic Black

Accessories - Many Messages Dies, Perennial petals dies

We Create - Whateves

January has flown by with lots of hours logged for work, not enough exercise, not enough snow for Utah, and an extreme need for a vacation.  What has yours looked like?

I created this card with my cousin in mind.  His son was taken from this life from early onset Alzheimer's.  One thing you learn at some point is that Life is Not Fair.    I love the colors and how this card turned out.  Going back to the Forever Greenery DSP,  the colors together are just beautiful. The butterflies were inked and blended with sponge daubers and  touched up with wink of stella to give them a little shimmer.  The sentiment fit perfectly from the Sale A Bration set.

Stamps - Butterfly Gala, Heal Your Heart

Ink - Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam

Paper - Basic White, Pretty Peacock,  Forever Greenery DSP

Accessories - Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon, Butterfly Duet Punch, sponge daubers, Holiday Rhinestone Jewels, Wink of Stella, Layering Oval dies

I broke a fingernail, it is so short - below the quick.  It hurts. (insert pouty face)  Don't you hate when that happens?  I have wrapped it in some first aid tape to keep the nail that is left from catching on things.
