A Quick Hello With Birthday Blooms

Hello My Friends 

This post is for Kathy R.

A dear friend who faithfully and optimistically visits my blog every morning. And who, I fear, I have let down for quite some time now. 

My apologies Kathy. I fear I have been inconsistent with my blogging.   I neglect my blog whenever I feel that I do not have enough time to write substantial descriptions.  Or at least something "worthwhile".   

"Time to write something...?"    Golly, under those conditions, I might never blog again!! 

So here you have a quick blog.  Gorgeous cards - with minimal description, but heartfelt intent and apologies!

I used the beautiful Birthday Blooms stamp set - embossed with black powder then quickly watercoloured using an aquapainter (with Watermelon Wonder, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight ink for the booms, and Old Olive for the leaves).  Nothing fancy.  But gorgeous nonetheless!

Hope you all have a fantastic day.  God Bless,    ~Cynthia   <><

Floating Re-Inker and Rose Wonder Question

Hello My Friends

Back at last.  A long story - for another time perhaps.  But for right now, I just HAD to show you these cards.

Pink Rose

Blue Rose

Coral Rose

As soon as I saw the Rose Wonder stamp set, I *knew* I would be using the Floating Re-Inker technique on the image.  My only problem is, I cannot decide which colour scheme I prefer?

 What about you?  Do you prefer the:
1)  Blues (Night of Navy, Marina Mist and Tempting Turquoise)?
2)  Oranges (Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight)?
3)  Pinks  (Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Watermelon Wonder)?

We are making this card at club this month and I am having a hard time deciding which version to have my friends make.

What is your favourite?

Everyone who leaves me a comment will be entered into a draw to win one of these gorgeous cards.  So leave your comment below (and also some way for me to contact you if you win......!)

And what about you?  Do YOU want to join us as a guest at club this month and make one of these jaw-dropping beauties?  Come tonight or tomorrow or this weekend....Tues Jan 19 or Wed Jan 20 or Fri Jan 23, all from 7-9 pm at my home in the east end of Ottawa.
If there is enough interest I may add a Saturday club (10-noon).

I'd love to have you join me.  Just let me know!!

Until then -- Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far.  
God Bless,
Cynthia
