Happy Father's Day

(a day late!)

Hope you all enjoyed the weekends and had a wonderful Father's Day with the men in your families!

I went to my LSS looking for some ink refills (which they were out of) and walked out with this set from Hero Arts!


Something a little different for me since I ♥ coloring so much! Anyway, I used the stamp on the right to make my dad his Father's Day card:
Thanks Dad
Supplies:
- Vine Scrolls, Chinese Thank You, butterfly-Good Fortune (Hero Arts)
- Ink: Versamark Dazzle Frost, Broken China; Peeled Paint & Dusty Concord Distress Ink
- Other: ribbon, buttons

I stamped the Vine Scrolls & butterflies  twice w/Peeled Paint & Dusty Concord distress inks with re-inking in between stamping, embossed with clear embossing powder.  Then applied Broken China distress ink around the edges using a sponge applicator.  

Thanks for all you do DAD!

{& Thanks to you for stopping by today! I'll be back again tomorrow w/the next Tiddly Inks Tuesday Challenge!}

Beach Babe!

I'm back again with another layout to share using the SUNSHINE kit!  {Have you gotten yours yet?!?!}

This week's challenge is to create a BEACH themed layout.  My sister and family just got home from a trip to FL and had some super cute photos for the girls at the beach- couldn't wait to scrap them!  (I'm sure she couldn't wait for me to do them too! LOL) & what better timing for me to use this new stamp kit!

And in case you didn't see it yet, this is what the entire set looks like:


The FABULOUS Mercy designed the sketch for us to use! Great for cards OR a scrapbook layout!


Once I saw this sketch I knew exactly which photo I wanted to use- one that I took a few weeks ago of my dad and nieces.  They are definitely Grandpa's Girls!
