Happy 5th birthday STAMPlorations

We're celebrating STAMPlorations 5th Anniversary and we want you to be a part of the fun!  
As a part of the celebrations, I had to choose my 3 favorite cards to share with you. Here's my first favorite card. 
I've done a lot of masking to create this one layer card. I've used the beautiful True North set for the ship and the sentiment is from the Noteworthy 2 set
Here's my second favorite card
 Finally, here's my third favorite card
I just love how this card turned out! I've used distress oxide inks on the Shower of Flutters stencil, the sentiment is from the Heartfelt Rose set.
And now for some new projects, I love making floral cards and STAMPLorations has some gorgeous floral stamps. For my first card, I've used the gorgeous floral bouquet from Best Mom Ever - Dee's Artsy Impressions 
I stamped it multiple times around the edges of a watercolor panel and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The sentiment is from the Fond Expressions 2 - Shery Russ Designs set.

The second card features the In Bloom: Classic Calla Lilies - Shery Russ Designs set. I've colored it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers too.
Of course, we want YOU to be part of the festivities!

A Blog Named Hero Challenge: Summertime Fun

Hello everyone! I'm back with the May Challenge for the A Blog Named Hero. This month's theme is - Summertime Fun.
It's summer here in California and Magnolias are in bloom everywhere! I live on a street lined with Magnolia trees, I love the giant flowers. I would like to get a closer look, but unfortunately, they are all so high up!
I've used the gorgeous Hero Florals Magnolia Stamp and watercolored it with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I'm experimenting with different watercolors and just starting out with Daniel Smiths. 
Hop on over to the A Blog Named Hero Blog to check what my teamies have created and join the fun!
