XO- I just love you

Hello Everyone,

For being so cold outside it is certainly very warm in Blogland. All these love challenges are so toasty. So for today, I am playing along with The Paper Players and INKspirational. Here is my card, enjoy! 


I tried my hand at a little Zentangle-ish. The dot swag stamp from Hero Arts was my starting point. Then by adding a few little embellishments, it turned into well, Zantangle-ish.
The painted gray background is part of a larger painting that I divided up into panels.
The paper that formed the letters is from the shaving cream technique I did quite some time ago.
Both patterns are pretty and coordinate so well together.
There is also some shine on the creation.
The raindrop shape is a muted glitter that shines more than sparkle. The dimensional dots are iridescent jewels. Love it!!
Challenges Entered:
The Paper Players: Color Challenge- PP428
INKspirational: Challenge #180 - Word Prompt- Text



I don't know about all you northern climate parents out there, but my kids have had eleven, yes eleven, snow days. We have had storm after storm here in Michigan (good thing you aren't here Deborah Frings 😉!) It is freezing, freezing, freezing outside!! It was so cold that when I'd breathe I would start coughing because the air was too cold to inhale. My car froze to the garage floor. I had to give it some gas and it literally snapped into reverse. So why am here where I can't breathe? Well, I think this meme says it perfectly...
Yes friends, this is why.
Winter cold kills them and that makes me happy.

Thank you so much for stopping by and do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. I hope you all have a fantastic day and lots of good crafting vibes headed your way.

Shawna, your card is delightful! What a fun creation...I just keep looking at it and smiling! Love the zentangle feel to it! And I am RIGHT WITH YOU on the spider thing---as long as they are outside, they're safe but if they are in my house, they are gonna be dead! By my hubby, of course, I won't go near them, LOL! Thanks for playing with our color challenge this week!!

Great card! I love that dot swag background! I tried to find this stamp - I guess it's no longer available....Do you have the number of that stamp by any chance?

Wow. This card looks amazing. It reminds me of chandeliers and it’s so feminine with the pink and the bling. Thanks for joining our challenge at Inkspirational!
