Hello Friends! Welcome to another Terrific Tuesday here at Paper Dreams. 

Today I have a clean and simple card for you. About a week ago, I watched a video by Mary from Stamp ‘n Lingers on how she made her April card. I used different colors & a different shape. You can see her card & video here: https://stampsnlingers.com/2020/04/12/stampin-up-forever-blossoms-with-video-tutorial-for-the-paper-players/

I’ve not done much blending so I wanted to give it a go. I picked up some cosmetic blending brushes with handles at the bargain store. They really keeps the ink off your fingers & are so easy to control. 

I made a mask or template by die cutting an oval onto a panel of thick card stock. Using temporary glue dots, I placed the panel with the oval hole over my card base & the blended So Saffron & Blushing Bride. I hope you like it. Thanks to Mary for sharing her talents! 

Thanks for looking!

Happy Anniversary

Don't you just love this clock image? I sure do! It's from a fairly new set from Mark's Finest Papers & it's called Take The Time & Father's Day. It's great for masculine cards and scrapbook pages. Today's Free for All challenge on SCS was to make a masculine card; and the Queens for the Day was Connie Jo9. I cased this card

I made several changes and tweeks to accomodate the image size, the verse and a more masculine pallete & now it is a little hard to see the Connie Jo's original in my card. But it was this card of Connie's that inspired me.

On a personal note, this Sunday my husband & I are celebrating our 29th wedding anniversay & this will be his card. My husband is the best man in the world and a great father. I am just so very blessed!

Thanks for stopping by!
