Rainy Day Fhiona: Sparkle & Shine

Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you ready for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp? Challenge #140 theme is Sparkle and Shine! We want to see glitter, shimmer, sparkle, and shine! I made a card featuring Mini Rainy Day Fhiona with GLITTER Raindrops! I made my background using Distress Oxide Inks and splattered it with water, Copic Opaque White Paint and shimmery Perfect Pearls. Then, I used a stencil and blue glitter gloss to make the raindrops and added some little sparkly gems to my images. I was inspired by my niece and nephew who LOVE playing in puddles when it rains.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What do you like to do on rainy days?
A: Me? Snuggle with my puppy Maddie

Supplies:
Mini Rainy Day Fhiona Stamp Set
Stamplorations Raindrop Stencil
Kindred Stamps Glitter Gloss
Kat Scrappiness Teal Jewels
Kat Scrappiness Wavy Wonky Circle Dies

Believe in Your Dreams (except the COVID-19 ones)

Hi Crafty Friends,
Have you been spending your days in your robe and slippers for the past few months of quarantine? I think we all have had crazy dreams these last few months, so maybe don't believe in those ones but the pre-COVID dreams. This darling lady is called "Bedtime Emma" from Paper Nest Dolls.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

A: Me? I had one about my prom being cancelled even though I went to my prom in 2000.

Sweet Honey Bear Bee

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am sharing my second post featuring these DARLING Sweet Honey Bear Pairables. If you missed my first post where I created an POP-UP Box head here.

My nephew was a bumble bee for his first Halloween and my sister dressed as a bee keeper (see below).
