It's Been Oolong!

Another creation for my favorite blog hop!

I love this darling stamp from Sweet Stamp Shop called Oolong! Decided to play with watercolors and stamped this image in Staz On black ink on watercolor paper.

I wanted to play with shadows a bit and decided to put them in front of these cute images. LOVE how this one came out!

The hello cutout word die is from Walter and Winnie, the pretty paper is from a Craft smith paper pad...apologies I forget the name at the moment! Put a glitter gel on the sugar cubes too.

Attempted one with shadows behind the images, but didn't like the way it came out at all, so ended up covering it over with more blue. But that's how we learn! I will attempt these shadows again in the future. :)

Using 2 or More Designer Papers

New challenge today at Melonheadz Friends: Use 2 or more designer papers!  I enjoyed this theme because it made me reach for cute, new papers I hadn't used yet! (ok, yes...hoarding them...)

The quote says "A cup of tea warms the soul like a good friend."  This is one of the gorgeous double-sided papers in the Botanical Tea paper pad by Graphic 45. The peach polka dots paper is from Heidi Swapp and the roses are in Melonheadz Floral Combo Pack. (link below)

I used Glossy Accents on the blue butterfly to make it pop, as well as some self adhesive blue pearls from Orientaltrading.com

Love putting a small scrap of paper on the inside to tie the whole card together!

• Melonheadz digital bundle "Cassie's Floral Combo Pack"
• Graphic 45 Botanical Tea Paper Pad
• Heidi Swapp "September Skies" Paper Pad
