A very happy Friday to you! I had another productive day yesterday. I did some cleaning, some laundry and played with Tristan and Daniel. We all had dinner together at my Parent’s. I came home for a bit and then went over to meet Heather and Stephanie at Brian & Kim’s for Thirsty Thursday. So good to see the peeps! This morning I’m going with Heather to drop off her car for inspection and then we are going to have some breakfast. A fun way to start the day!
This is one of two posts from me today! I’ll have another post shortly with a fun announcement!
It’s a Fab Friday this week and we have some colors to inspire you…
I got my May My Monthly Hero Kit the other day and these colors seemed to work perfectly with it! To start I used the Stencil in the Kit and some Blueprint Sketch and Seedless Preserves Distress Ink along with my Mini Ink Blending Tool to add color to a piece of Solar White 80ob. That is then adhered to a card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. The mermaid is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with Copics, I cut her out with the Coordinating Die along with some coral and seaweed from a piece of Calypso Coral. The greeting is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto another piece of Solar White 80lb that I cut out with the Hero Arts Infinity Circles Dies. All of the die cuts are adhered to the circle and the circle is adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. Just a few Pretty Pink Posh Blue Lagoon and Amethyst Sequins and some Hero Arts Clear Gems finish the card! I do love that stenciled background, so easy and such a nice way to showcase the mermaid! I hope that you enjoyed my card for the Fab Friday Color Challenge! We hope that you will visit the BLOG and check out the rest of the Team’s cards and enter your in the gallery! Thanks for stopping by, don’t forget to come back in a little bit for my second post for today! I’m pretty excited about it! Enjoy your Friday morning! 🙂

What a cute little mermaid and you did such a fab job of coloring her in! Strange, you never hear of male mermaids. I’ve gotten to love Hero Arts stamps.
Glad you got to Thirsty Thursday Justin. It seems to have been a while since you and your friends got together just to sit and relax. I’ll be off line until at least the 23rd. I’ll play catch up then but will miss your posts while I’m away. You behave now! LOL Love and hugs and wishes for you to have a wonderful week ahead. XXOO 🙂
Thanks Grace! There is actually a merman in the Lawn Fawn set! And they have an ink color called Merman!
It has been a while, but we pick up right where we left off. I hope that you enjoy your little trip! Love and hugs to you my friend! XOXO 🙂
Pretty, pretty, pretty! Your wavy background is so fabulous. Lovely card! I like the sayings in that set too.
I have been enjoying reading about your days and evenings. My hip replacement went really well. I am in physical therapy to strengthen my muscles ( good luck on that mission), and we are working on my spine now — had an epidural on Wednesday. We’ll see how long I get pain relief from that. I just had to tell you how glad I am that you blog every day! I live vicariously through you, my dear.
Wish your Mum Happy Mother’s Day from me. Your parents did a great job with you. Stay happy, my friend. With love, Nancy B
Thank you Nancy!
I’m glad to hear that you are on the mend! I’m so happy that you can live vicariously through me! I will pass on your wishes and thank you for that! They will be happy to hear that! Love and hugs!! 🙂
Hi Nancy,
I am so glad to read that your hip replacement went well for you. Keep up the good work. Stay focused! I’ve struggled everyday since my knee replacement last Feb., but, we’re working on finding a solution. God Bless and take care!
Gorgeous! I lopve this kit. All the samplesI have seen are great.
Going out to breakfast is my favorite thing to do. Hubby and I pretty much do this every Sunday. A treat for both of us
Thank you Linda! Yes, it’s a good kit!
I love that you do things like go out to breakfast with hubby! 🙂
