Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day to my U.S. friends.  We had a slightly rainy and cloudy day today but it was a lovely day with my family.

I have been busy working on projects that I can't share... :(  I had to create a few things for a December publication. So strange to be creating Christmas cards when it is 90 degrees outside. :) 

I did create two little projects from some scraps that I generated while working on other projects.  The paper was dragged through re-inkers on my craft mat mixed with a little water.

I created an ATC and a mini-card using a new set of stamps from Stampin Up. While taking the Zindorf class(so much fun!) she included a lovely set of stamps as part of the class. All the flowers and berry stamps are from the Stampin Up.

 The birds are from a B Line set which has several sizes and types of birds to be used. I colored everything using the watercolor pencils and the images are stamped using Vintage Sepia.

Nothing too complex but I enjoyed playing with the new stamps!

Have a lovely week!
