The Heart Desires mid Challenge #14

I'm back with a little mid-challenge inspiration for The Heart Desires Challenge #14!

So many beautiful images!

Here are my takes:

I'm really enjoying all of the Flora & Fauna sets the store carries- I've put the Glass Dome Set to work for both of my cards today. 

I was inspired to create that sunset in the mood board- and thought it was fun to capture it in the dome!

The next one also uses the Glass Dome Set & the sunset inspiration, but it also has the cute bird & flag image from the Birthday Set, and is on a panel cut with a Gina Marie Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Die and the glass dome portion is covered in Glossy Accents!

Don't forget!

Curtain Call: Surf's Up

I am playing along with Curtain Call today after being inspired by Sugargems, who is a guest designer!

Here's my take:

I seriously can NOT get enough of Flora & Fauna!

I've used Under the Sea here- a little distress oxide ink smooshing for the background & a fussy cut whale (looks like a beluga when left white!)

A few Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins finish it off.

Don't forget there's still a sale & hop going on at The Heart Desires! You could pick up your own Flora & Fauna on sale!

The Heart Desires Challenge #14

Time for a new challenge at The Heart Desires!

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Independence Day- summer officially starts in the PNW today!

We've got another great inspiration board for you:

Here's my take:

Yep, completely in love with the Under the Sea set from Flora & Fauna- it's the set that got me hooked (hahahaha!). Sorry- couldn't resist!!!

I've stamped it with Versafine onyx ink on Bristol paper, colored with zigs & my Watercolor Detail Brush20, then fussy cut the images. The background was created with Turquoise Brushos & framed with the Gina Marie scalloped stitched rectangles die.

The sentiment & bubbles are heat embossed in white. Can you see the bit of shimmer on her tail? A little stickles....

No doubt this set will get lots of use in our house!
