Happy Sunday!

 Oh my gosh - it's Sunday morning and my daughter is in labor with her 4th baby, her first boy!  I'm so excited - I'm heading up to be with her in a few!

Gotta be quick so this card is for the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Red, White, and Blue

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Stars and/or Stripes

Get Creative - Red, White, and Blue

Colorful Options - Flags

I used an adorable stamp set from Mama Elephant called Tiny Heroes.  I used Distress Ink pads sprayed with some water to create the background and then some background brick and splash stamps.  

And this one is for:

The Sisterhood of Crafters - In the Garden

For this one, I created the background using acrylic paints and my Gelli Plate.  I then used some die cuts to create the focal point.  Peace.

Seasons!

 The days after holidays always feel weird - like I never know what day it is.  LOL

Today I have 2 cards to share - this first one was for the All Dressed Up Facebook Challenge, theme is Seasons. I switched it up and went with Autumn, since that is my favorite season!  I would also like to enter this one into the following challenges:

Art Impressions - Magical Creatures

Heart's Quest Fantasy Challenge - Anything Goes

I used Magical Woodland from All Dressed Up, colored with alcohol markers & glitter (Dazzling Diamonds from Stampin' Up!).  I used a Tim Holtz die to make the "HAPPY" sentiment and used papers from Doodlebug Designs.

This next card uses an image from Saturated Canary/Krista Smith - assorted papers and a cool Monstera leaf die I found on Amazon:
