Today's card is in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. I did not have an appropriate SU stamp so I thought I'd used this cute little guy instead (I've had him for a couple of years). The rest of the post includes the history of Cinco de Mayo and my favorite meal to make on this special occasion…
If you look at all the cards I've made, you will notice that 90% of them have some type of pattern paper on them. The reason I do this is because I love to make them even more special or to "jazz" them up. I also use flowers or some type of "bling" embellishment but…
I am having so much fun with this technique – I think it was originally shown at the Seattle Regionals. I've made pink, yellow, purple and red/orange watercolor roses in the last couple of days.

I love morning glories but they have such a short growing season and I don't get to enjoy them as long as I would like to. I love the way they bloom in the morning and then once the sun hits them, they close up. Today's card is called Morning Soft. I first ink up the…
