We had a little dusting of snow after a tease by Mother Nature- a couple of days in the 60's......We are looking at 30's all week and it is raining here tonight.
So...I am thinking WARM thoughts and this cute new set from
McMahon Five Designs is just the ticket!
I dusted off my brayer and attempted a little Zindorfian styled card. I colored the
Scuba Fun image(s) with SU markers, then finished the skin with Copics (Hey- I am from Illinois- and very pale in Feb.!)..... The sentiment is from
Create with TLC.
Next I used the Sketch challenge for this week at Splitcoaststampers and created a card with the smaller images.
This card is on its way to a friend that lives in a warmer climate, and was saying they just had to turn on their AC.......that's terrible, isn't it? I wish I could bottle up some of our 30 degree air to send to her!

Allsorts-inspired by (warm) Nature
Card two:

Incy Wincy- Punches

Hi Shelly! Well you sure have a knack for scenery!! I love that your sand looks like sand, and the swirly paper on your 2nd really looks like water!! FANTABULOUS! =)

such lovely images! Thank you so much for entering in the Allsorts challenge and good luck!
I absolutely love these beach themed cards and you did a great job on the bg zindorf would be proud. Both are super cute.
I love what you are doing with the bakers twine - I will have to get some (just bought scrappers floss, already I need the next thing). That is a really cool scuba image set - This is why you get the good DT gigs, you make any set look essential!
Great cards! Both are so perfect and make me wish for warmer weather! Thanks for playing along with us at Paper Sundaes :)
