I used some dps from My Mind's Eye. The wide ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. The gorgeous Heart Border Die is from Joy Crafts...one of my faves! I'm also loving my I Am Roses flowers...they are beautiful! I distressed all the paper with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

Little Miss Muffet Stamp~Sonny Honeycloud Music Girl

TGIF Baby!! Thank goodness right?! I'm so looking forward to warmer temperatures here in Texas. The forecast says this weekend is supposed to be in the 70s. I hope so because I need to defrost!!

Just a reminder that you have 4 more days to enter our "All You Need Is Love" challenge on the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog. Surely you have a LMMS Valentine stamp/digi! I can't wait to see what you make!

I've had this little gal in my collection for a while now and just realized I haven't colored her up....say what?!! Yeah, I'm a hoarder!! It's awful the amount of stamps I have that haven't see the light of day. Definitely SAD! But today, Sonny Honeycloud Music Girl has finally made her way onto a card. :) She's stamped on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.

 Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E13

Hair: C3, C7, Black

Black: C3, C5, C7, Black

I made a boy version of this card earlier this week. But when I saw this image in my stash I knew I had to make a girl version! I used some dps from Echo Park We Are Family 6x6 Paper pad...I LOVE this pad! The sentiment is from C.C. Designs Hashtag Sentiments. The flowers are from I Am Roses, and the banner die is from Joy Crafts.

Now be sure to link up your "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE" creation on the Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog.  Check out the LMMS STORE to get some amazing stamps!

 We have a wonderful, colorful hop for you to enjoy today. These stamps are available for purchase now, and you will want them all by the end of the hop!

You can purchase the stamps here.

 

For my card today, I used the Himalayan Poppy Stamp. Most Himalayan Poppies are blue, but I decided to color these poppies the traditional red and I think it works. :) These flowers are so gorgeous!! I was a little intimidated to color them up, but once I started going it all fell together.

Green: G21, G28, YG23, YG67, C7

Happy Monday everyone! I've been busy over the weekend starting projects that all seem to be due this week. Doesn't it always seem to happen that way? I knew I should have started last week when things were slow, but my creative mojo never seems to kick in until I'm under pressure, LOL!
