Meditate Through Coloring

This My Favorite Things BG Wavy Coloring Book stamp is quite possibly the most relaxing bit of coloring you can do. You can go super colorful and detailed or choose a color scheme with just a few colors to tone down the overall color palette.

After lots of focused coloring energy with Prisma colors, some vellum, and a thanks die cut by Lawn Fawn, a thank you card was born.

Perception vs. Reception

When I conceptualized this card in my head, I must admit I thought the end product was "meh." I think I even said "it looked better in my head, LOL" on my instagram post. So imagine my surprise when I was spotlighted on MFT's cardchallenges.com blog for this same "meh" card. Talk about perception vs. reception.

In any case, my designs are extremely easy to do because I do not have blocks of time to work on my cards. I stamped MFT's wavy coloring book background stamp in versafine ink.

If you are, kudos to you and kudos to your strong back for holding up your children's worlds. Here are two cards I've made in a series of homages I'll be making to women figures and mommy friends in my life. I wanted to make non floral Mother's Day cards and most importantly, to keep it simple since I have to make so many. Mother's Day is fast approaching. Are you ready?

The WOW Card

No doubt I have a soft spot for the first card I've ever made. Lawn Fawn was right there from the very beginning of Card Chick with this uber cute sushi stamp set. Oh come on now, how does one resist?! Look at it! Aren't you hungry?? 😜 I probably wouldn't eat a sushi if it had a face on it, but I'll make an exception for this one. This stamp set so kawaii.
