Power Poppy - Peep of the Week Challenge

When I woke up this morning it was 6 degrees outside.  Can't remember it being this cold, for a long time.  On top of that I have been sick going on 3 weeks now.  What started out as a sinus infection has morphed into some kind of upper respiratory mess.  How wonderful it is to shut myself up in my craft room and create something that makes me smile.




I made this card for the Peep of the Week Challenge over at Power Poppy.  I wanted something that would make me completely forget about our frigid weather, so I pulled out this beautiful stamp from Power Poppy called Countryside Bouquet.  I colored it with Copic markers in shades of peach and lt. blue.  The gingham background is a stencil from Simon Says Stamps called Gingham Stencil.  I used Dap Lightweight Spackle that had been tinted with Innocent Pink and Sweet Mango ink.  I added a soft blue patterned paper, a paper doily that I split in half, and a little bow that I tinted with a blush copic marker.  Thanks so much for coming by to look!  I hope I have brought a little bit of Spring into your life today.  lol

  3. Thank you for the prayers, Angie! You are so sweet. Sharyn, this card is just stunning!!! I can't stop looking at it! And that peach colored spackle is GORGEOUS!!! The two colors of ink together are so pretty - GENIUS!!! Did you use reinkers or the ink pads themselves. I have never tried tinting embossing paste with GKD inks.
