Birthday flower

Hey everyone! It's been snowing here in the Pacific Northwest for the last day and a half. Which means that I've had time to play in the studio!

This was inspired by a picture in my bathroom that had a shadow behind the main flower. So, I decided to see if I could create a very subtle shadow effect for this one. Stamp is from Paper Inspirations and stamped in Studio G light yellow chalk ink. Flower is from Memory Box and the sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink.

Added some tiny pearls for the center of the flowers. The little leaves were painstaking colored with a Copic marker. The yellow ribbon was a lucky find in my ribbon stash that worked really good with the ink I used for the shadow. Green designer paper is from Hot Off The Press.

I thought I'd also share with you a picture of Noah playing in the snow this morning. He's a year old today!
Thanks for stopping by!

Poppies

Happy weekend! It's raining outside and a great day to stay inside and stamp! Here's another clean and simple card using the PTI Anniversary set Botanical Silhouettes.

I inked up the stamp with palette pure poppy and jardin moss. The sentiment is stamped in noir. The red pearls are from Kaisercraft.

I cut and embossed the main image with a rectangle nestie and then layered it with a piece of black cardstock.

Someone recently ask for a picture of Noah to see how big he's gotten. So, I decided to add one in today.

He's 6 1/2 months old now and weighs in at over 50 pounds. He's wearing his new back pack so that we can get him used to is. We plan on taking him out hiking and want him to carry his own water and food. :)

Thanks for stopping in!

Noah

Here are a few pictures of Noah from yesterday. He's a talker!

Chewing on a fir limb.


In his crate with some of his toys.

At the top of the stairs singing because he wants to come down! No problem going up, but coming down is another story.


Hiding under the wing back chair. This has become his favorite sleeping place.

Last night was an adventure sleeping with him being so vocal about missing his brothers and sisters. Poor little guy!
