Brynn's Canvas

I made this canvas for my three year old niece Brynn. It's made of all the colors that she
loves: lime green, pink, purple, and sea blue. It's happy like she is most of time. And
she makes me happy all the time - there's nothing like unconditional love. I'm entering this
canvas into the Simon Says Stamp and Show Inspiration Challenge

The inspiration for Brynn's canvas came from a class taught by Shari Caroll that I attended.
Her class was based on the techniques she used to make a canvas for her Mother.  You can
see Shari's canvas here:  mom tribute canvas is complete .  During that class I made a canvas
for my sister Cathy who has since passed away. The colors on her canvas are a more subdued
version of Brynn's canvas.

Cathy's canvas

I would have taken nicer pictures had I known I'd be posting her canvas here.

You can read the words on Brynn's canvas but not Cathy's. On the various
chipboard pieces of Cathy's the sentence: "Sisters teach how to love without limits." is
formed.

Mother's Day Card

I made this card using the papers and stamp set included
in my May Simon Says Stamp Card Kit.

I stamped the images using Ranger Black Archival Ink and

colored them in with Tim's Distress Markers.

I misted the roses with Rangers Perfect Pearl Mist after they

were colored in.

I colored the chipboard heart with Tim's Spun Sugar Distress

marker and then covered it with the Pink Petal Perfect Pearls

that was included with the card kit.

Can't wait to make more cards using this kit.

Just Because
