Power Poppy Lilacs

For the August Power Poppy Challenge, I've chosen one of my favorite flowers, the French Lilac, to showcase and added a sentiment from the digi Ranunculus sentiment. The challenge is to mix stamps and I think together these make a lovely sympathy card. I used some green Stickles and my Wink of Stella glitter pen to add shine.

The background is dry embossed with a diamond pattern and then painted with these gorgeous Gansai Tambi Watercolor pearlized paints. You can see the green shining here. I used Prismacolor pencils on the flowers.

Hope to see you join in over at Power Poppy!

Happy Wednesday!

Miniature Wedding

I made this little wedding couple and gazebo with unfinished wood pieces from Jo Ann Fabrics. The gazebo is a birdhouse and the people were in a package marked "wooden people." How could I resist buying them and making a little bride and groom? 

 

I gave them peach roses and a black tux and ivory dress to match the wedding clothes my husband and I wore. Her veil looks is longer than her dress, just like mine was back in 1990!

Here's their gazebo that I painted with white acrylic paint and blinged up with various gemstones and pearls and ribbon from the scrapbooking aisle and my stash. I used marker for their eyes and mouths.

Happy Wedding Day, Little People! 

Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I was visiting my mom and she doesn't have internet at her house...it's like being back in Laura Ingall's day. Or at least 1985.

Happy Thursday—see you tomorrow!
