This is such a honor for me to be on a design team working with such a nice group of people as well as working with stamps/images that I dearly love. This week our theme was picked by our Teamie, Sue Kment.
This challenge is inspired by the song My Favorite Things!
You can read the lyrics below and use them for your inspiration
*****
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Here is my card for today.
I went with the song line Raindrop on Roses hoping that Poppies are close enough.
This image is titled Special Delivery by Stampabilities and I colored it with Copics. I sponged some very light (maybe too light) blue along the top for my sky and added Liquid Pearls for the raindrops. The sentiment is also by Stampabilities. The designer paper is retired SU! and flower was made up with MB dies with a yellow brad. My last step was to add some silver dimensional stickers by Jolee. I had a so much fun making this card.
Please stop by House Mouse & Friends to see what all the design team members have to offer you in the way of inspiration. Thanks for taking a peek here today and I wish you all a fabulous Monday.
Oh my Donna, how simply adorable is this! I just love that sentiment!

Congratulations on your new DT assignment. They picked a good team mate. I love, love this stamp design. And your coloring is awesome, and yes, the blue sky showed fine on my monitor. I was awed by your liquid pearl raindrops too. You've got a dab hand with that stuff. Mine would _Never_ have done that kind of look...they always blob for me(is why you don't see it used much on my cards!). This is just as cute & adorable as can be, and I think you met the theme just perfect. Looked like a rose to me. We have grown some that looked like that too! TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the DT!
