Pineapples

I had to make a few quick card to have on hand so I used one of the recent magazine freebies to throw together a Thank You, Birthday & generic card.

Paper: random paper from stash, watercolour paper, cardstock

Inks: Vivid Orange & Turquoise

Others: watercolour crayons, sequins

One Cool Hombre!

Having a bit of a play with a cute little stamp set from Stamp Anniething I got in my goodie bag from the recent Kit & Clowder retreat. I had the perfect papers to go along with this cool hombre!
