A Summer Snowman and a Shadowed Bloom

I made this Magnolia snowman card using Lauren Meader's Saturday Sketch seen here.

I just LOVE Magnolia stamps and this snowman is just so cute!! I used Prismacolor markers to color him and I paper pieced his scarf by stamping the scarf on the designer paper - cutting it out and attaching it over the image stamped on the white card stock

Paper: white: PTI, DP's - Basic Grey: archaic, The Paper Company: Starburst Translucent
Ink: onyx black Versafine
Accessories: foam dimensionals, Prismacolor Markers

I made this second card for the featured stamper challenge over at Split Coast. I had not visited Teneale's gallery before and she has some lovely cards there! I decided to CASE this pretty card. The things I changed: different stamp used, different colors of ink, ribbon and brads - I kept the design the same.

I used a flower from the new Plant Prints set from Artful INKables and stamped it once then again, a little to the right, without re-inking to give the shadow effect.


Kristin is offering 10% off all her Artful INKable stamp sets for the month of July - so be sure to check it out! Might as well save money while you're buying some fun stamps right??!!

We are enjoying our last day at the lake today - Here are a few pictures from our week here.

DH Kent and neighbors work on the lake right-of-way clearing the path and placing the boulders they pulled up against the road area to help stop soil erosion.

We got a scenic ride to the Marina on Kent's cousins Party Barge where we got some delicious ice cream.

A mother duck and her 6 ducklings come up on our cousins lawn every evening to pick up some easy food dropped from her bird feeders.
Thanks for coming by and have a great Sunday!
