May Challenge - You are Loved

Hi There, Karen N here from Craftily Yours!  Our design team was challenged in May to create something using the Linnie Blooms "Blooms".  Challenge accepted!  I created this card to give my momma on Mother's Day.



The middle is a bookmark that is removable.


She's fun, huh?  I used Tim Holtz distress paints to color up the canvas flowers and leaves.  The brad center is from Basic Grey Stitched.  The stamp is one of the Suzi Blu stamps from Unity Stamp Company.  I colored her with my Tim Holtz distress watercolor markers.

Sense of Wonder

Hi There, Karen N here from Craftily Yours!  For my card today, I used watercolor distress markers to color up this adorable image.....I love that sentiment so much.

I added one of the Linnie Blooms "Blooms" to the corner.  I first painted it with Tim Holtz distress paint in white and then sprayed yellow Dylusions through a heart stencil.  I added a little worn lipstick distress to the edges.  I love the texture that these shapes bring to my cards.  It sorta looked to me like the girl was releasing the butterfly towards the sun.  What do you think?  The little flowers are created with molding clay and a cake embellishment mold....then colored with distress markers.



More details are available on my blog.  Hope you will stop by!

Fall Framed Home Decor

Hi there!  Laura here today, and just a little sad, as today is my
last guest post for Linnie Blooms....so I did want to take just a
second and say a huge THANK YOU, to owner Linda and DT
coordinator Kimberly, for the opportunity to create with these
awesome shapes!  I have had a blast!

And without further ado, here is my home decor project:



I used the Canvas Full Tree Shape and Distress Paint in Peeled
Paint and Walnut Stain to color the tree.  To get the leafy look...
I used the dauber to pounce on the color.  The Canvas Owl shape
was brushed with Distress Stain, and then I went around the edges
with Espresso paint dauber.  His eyes are two black buttons with
Jellie Dot gems for centers.

The Fall Leaf Shapes were colored with orange and red gelatos,
directly onto the canvas shapes, and then blended with water,
because I wanted a deep fall color.  I frayed the edges just a bit,
and then brushed them with the Espresso paint.

The fall banner is the Canvas Pennant pieces, and I left the tip
uncolored, then added a streak of orange and a streak of
yellow, and blended carefully to get the look of candy corn.
I brushed these with the paint as well, and then adhered the
letters, and used foam tape to adhere the banner to the frame,
and added twine bows.

I used stickers and paper from Reminisce, and buttons with
Trendy Twine Orange Licorice to finish it all off.

Thanks for stopping by today, and make sure to check out
all the fun shapes from Linnie Blooms....so many to choose from!
