(click on the photo for a closer look!)

So I used the Stampin Up! colors listed above. I couldn't believe I had Summer Sun still hanging out here as it has long been retired.But I never get rid of anything! That's why my scrap room is jam packed with so much!
I used a little Copic R05 on the main flower to give it dimension and laid down a glue dot and stuck some tiny black seed beads in the flower center to give it texture. The SU! set I used was Secret Garden stamps and coordinating dies. The sentiment is from SU! Itty Bitty Banners and matching Bitty Banner dies. The embossing folder and paper doily is also from SU! Finished it off with black and white baker's twine and voila!!

Thanks for looking!

This week's M-I-M technique at PTI was to watercolor. So Connor and I decided this was something we could do together. So I got out my PTI binder and let Connor choose which stamp set he wanted to watercolor. He asked if I had the set that Dawn used in her demo video, and of course I had it, so that's the one he wanted to do. It was so sweet for mother and son to do some artwork together. Connor did all the stamping himself!



Here is mine:

Here is Connor's:

I think Connor did a fine job on his first watercoloring!
