You Are Pawesome!

  

Hi, and welcome! My inspiration for today's post was literally these two cuties laying on my desk. I had colored the images back during the 30 Day Coloring Challenge, and I'm just now using them. I was having so much fun; I decided to make a few more. I have a video tutorial below and walkthrough for anyone who is not a fan of videos. Some affiliate links are listed below.

Mask off #110 card base and lightly blend SSS Audrey Blue onto the card base. 

Stamp three hearts from the Busy Bee Stamp Set in the upper left corner of each card using Memento Ink in the color Tuxedo Black because I will be coloring the hearts. I then take one of the flower stems and use it to stamp a border around the cards using Versafine Onyx Black ink. 

Adhere all the colored images to the card base using 3D mounting foam. 

Stamp the bees buzz line and adhere bee. 

Stamp sentiments.

Hi and welcome. Today I'm sharing a "thinking of you" card I created using Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Day Stamp and Die Set. The Beautiful Day stamp set is one of those sets that you buy, and you know you will always need it.
