I’ve been a DT member for the challenge at QKR Stampede since July 2019. However, this will be my last DT creation for a time since the sponsor, StampOnIt has been sold. The new owners are working to get the QKR Stampede, Eureka, and other stamp lines transferred to the new site. In the meantime, if you stop by the QKR challenge, you’ll see an announcement- “Following Challenge 465 (this one), challenges will be suspended until the store is operational. We'd hate to choose winners who can't visit the store to claim their prizes.” 

I’ll be back with new creations as soon as DT’s can, once again, link to the images we use on the website. Until then, you can click HERE to visit the “under construction” website and signup for email updates. (PS- details about this card are in the supplies section below.)

I’m entering this card into several challenges including The Paper Shelter (Like birds, butterflies take to the sky), and the Butterfly Challenge (my card includes three of the colors- Havoc/dark red, Heather/lavender. and Hawkes blue/soft blue, plus one theme (butterfly).

The next card was made using one of the first wood mount stamps that I ever purchased back in the late 90s. I was sad to see the company close its doors a short time later as they were one of the quality stamp lines at that time, always providing clean and detailed images. I colored the image with watercolor markers, but they looked muddy on the kraft-brown cardstock. So… pulled out a silver marker from my stash, plus a set of gel pens I’d recently received as a gift, and they helped to bring the image to life.

I’m entering this card into several challenges including Outlawz Sunday Challenge: Springtime (tulips just shout “Spring” to me!), and Inspiration Station: Photo prompt (tulips!)
