It's been a while since my Zig Real Brush markers came out to play. I colored these artsy flowers by @simonsaysstamp, then added a script background by @crafterscompus, hello die by @heroarts, and @tonicusa Nuvo drops. On a side note, this is yet another card saved from the trash (along with my sanity) by the @tombow Mono sand eraser. It erased a major boo boo and saved the day. Barely visible now, can you spot it? I'm entering this card in Simon's Flickr challenge.

Created this card for the SSSFlickrchallenge 101, Summer fun. Summer for me is family, friends and lots of fun, with some bright colors thrown in. All stamps are from Simon Says, Dies are from MFT.

I used the white embossing powder on a vellum paper with a clear Leafy decor stamp from PinkFresh Studio LLC and then die cut it out to match the The background of the beautiful Embossing folder SF221 Vine Canopy from @simonsaysstamp

I made this using a couple of techniques from the Online Card Classes Clean and Simple Cards 4 (inked background and inking tricks). The stencil is from Memory Box and the stamps and dies are from SSS (Sketch Heart die and Locking Hearts stamp set). The ink is SSS Smoke and Faded Navy, Memento Tuxedo Black and VersaMark watermark ink. Since it has a heart on it I'm posting it to the SSS flickr challenge #11.

This stamp by The Cat's Pajama's cracks me up every time.

I paper pieced TCP's Sprinkles sweater and stamped her again on the white panel. The stamped sentiment "It's Purrfect" is also by The Cat's Pajamas. I used Taylored Expressions "Thanks" diecut and Dotted Lattice embossing folder for the background. Then I went crazy using the stitched rectangle, small circle, and small & large banner diecuts from Simon Say Stamp's Bundle Of Stitched Shapes. This card is based on a sketch from TE's Share The Joy.

When I first started to craft, it was with paper quilling. It was fun to go back to this technique. I used the blossom fields 3D embossing folder on the card and used a tiny but of white pigment ink to make the embossed areas stand out.
