I do like dogs and horses but I'm still afraid of most of them! So I have no animal stamps that are pets. So here's what I came up with.  Watercolor Paper, Gold Thread  Calypso Coral Thick Baker's Twine pulled apart  A few spots from one of the stamps Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!

Hey! The sunset with stars! I made this card for a TGIF Challenge but couldn't find the time to get it posted! I started with Watercolor Paper. Then I embossed stars from the Hearts and Stars Decorative Masks, I used an Aqua Painter filled with water and open ink pads that I smooshed the ink onto the cover before I opened them. Then grabbed ink from the cover with my Aqua Painter and just swiped across the paper! So fun!   It's much prettier irl. It's hard to capture the true colors. Bermuda bay, Watermelon Wonder, Pumpkin Pie & Crushed Curry. Then when I was all done I decided to try the Curvy Trio Punch! And I don't like it on this card! But oh it's too late!  Then add some glimmer with the Wink of Stella Pen!

  Hey Everyone, This card was made for the Artisan Design Team Board So... Yes I applied but, not this year I guess! =(  Although, I was invited to create a card for the display board at the Tampa OnStage Event. =) My first Convention Event I've been to and it sure was fun! I've been a Hobby Demonstrator for 9 years now and want to turn it into a Business.  SO if you are interested in hosting a party, becoming a Demo yourself or just want some ideas, LET ME KNOW! You can comment here or email me @ maryjsmallwood@gmail.com OK onto my card Ok this was the first one and I messed up the inside so I started again. I guess i didn't take many pictures! No close ups nor of the inside.( I just stamped the tree on the inside in Crumb Cake Ink). This stamp set is in the Holiday Catalog which is retiring January 4, 2016 Shop Here for Retiring Holiday Stamps and Accessories.  There is an Online Extravaganza going on right now until Nov. 3...
