Busy with Magnolias and Sunflowers

Here are some stamps from the Magnolia stamps sets which a friend of mine let me stamp and color. She is colored with copic markers then crystal effects was brushed over the areas that would be wet if it were raining.


This is an image I got from a friend. She is colored with watercolor crayons and an aqua painter. She has stickles on her shoes, socks and hair tie. I thought she'd look cute cut out as though she was sitting on a wall.

This is another Magnolia stamp from my friend. She was colored with Copic markers and the background was dabbed with a dauber using bashful blue and bordering blue inks. These images captured my heart when I first saw them. They are just so darling.

This is for the Bible challenge for August. The sunflower was photographed by my 13 year old DS. It is his first sunflower grown from seed. I used the scalloped border on it and added black behind it. I used my Cuttlebug and two different patterns for the backgrounds. I used large eyelets to hang on my box in my card room.

This is a photo my DS took of his sunflower in his garden. I loved that it was off center to I could stamp my saying right next to it. The background was stamped with serene sunflower using yo-yo yellow, cocoa, choc chip and garden green.

So it's been a funny, sunny time here trying to get things done before we go back to school/work in 3 weeks.
Blessings,
