CAS - Thinking of You

Hello Delightful friends and family!
We enjoyed a beautiful day here in northern California.  Thankfully the wind has died down and it was really a pretty day.  It was so nice this evening I didn't even need a blanket or the extra hoodie at Jakob's little league game, I don't leave home without them!

Here is a CAS card I made using Distress inks, a MFT's stencil, Lawn Fawn stamp (grass from Gnome Sweet Gnome)  and Ranger watercolor paper. The sentiment is from a Taylored Expressions stamp using Archival Jet Black ink.  The card base is Neenah Desert Storm.

The Distress Inks I've used are Peeled Paint and Mowed Grass for the stems and grass.  Mermaid Lagoon and Tumbled Glass are the colors I've used for the blossoms.  I used the Ranger water brush which I love working with and I am really enjoying this watercolor technique using stencils!

I will be sharing this at Word Art Wednesday #183  Family Friendly card

and CAS on Sunday #58 Cheer up Buttercup (make a card to brighten someone's day)

Thanks so much or visiting!

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. James 3:17

Love to spread the Sunshine!

Thank you Brenda for this award, that was so sweet of you.

Be sure and check out Brenda's blog, she rocks in the Copic coloring and she is very creative in her card designs, not only that she is an alumni for Center Stage at StampTV (and there are more places she's been invited to create for!!) they know where to find inspiration!! You can find her at Stamp it Up! Definitely head over there and leave her a delightful comment!

Now it is my turn to pass this Sunshine Award on to some outstanding fellow bloggers that I just love to follow since I started blogging. Some I know personally and some I've come to know through blogging and they have blessed my life through their encouragement and/or creativity and sense of humor. Thank you ladies for "spreading the sunshine" in our little corner of blogland!!
