Manly Monday Kayak with a painted scene



I made the background with different paints and water. The water waves were cut out using my Cricut and crappy Dollar Tree glitter vinyl. I cut the paddle out with the Cricut too. The kayak is a stamp by The Paper Studio. I stamped it out on water color paper and used peerless watercolors and a watercolor pen by Ranger. 
I finished this one moments ago for theSimon Says Stamp Monday challenge -fun with paint

Floral Friday painted stencil card


The background is purple cardstock. I applied paint over a stencil. Then I roughed up a piece of opaque purple paper by Die Cuts with a View. Then I colored a Stampendous flower with Copic markers. 
Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Manly Monday Bookcase card


I made this card using these four parameters:
Project: Card with a bookmark (the blue book has a bookmark 🔖.)
Color: Circus colors (vintage circus)
Element: hugs (In the sentiment)
Random: feathers (birds)
The bookshelf stamp is by Recollections. On white color cardstock I stamped  it with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed it with Ranger platinum embossing powder. I did the same with other colors of embossing powder. The bird stamps are from m stash. I hand wrote the sentiment. The book I cut out to emphasize was a bad move but…it works.
