The Taylored Expressions Grumpling set strikes again!
I blended a little ink behind the window to ground the grumpling.
Supplies: Stamps – Taylored Expressions, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Real Red, inks – Copic 110, E21, E53, R20, R29, Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Ink Hickory Smoke, Tumbled Glass, VersaFine Onyx Black.
Here is the second card I created for my father-in-law.
I do love blended blues!
Supplies: Stamp – Papertrey Ink, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, PopTone Black Licorice, inks – Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Inks Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, VersaMark, embossing powder – Ranger Silver Pearl.
These images were embossed on Neenah cardstock in gold and watercolored with Distress Inks. This cardstock is not meant for watercoloring, but I wanted the bright white background.
I always make an extra background when doing things that require multiple stamping steps. Both pieces turned out fine, so I made two more cards out of the extra background.
Supplies: Stamps – Papertrey Ink, Taylored Expressions, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Calypso Coral, Highland Heather, inks – Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Ink Abandoned Coral, Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn, Picked Raspberry, Wild Honey, Wilted Violet, Worn Lipstick, VersaMark, die – Lawn Fawn (stitched rectangle), embossing folder – Stampin’ Up!, sequins – Pretty Pink Posh, embossing powder – Stampendous Detail Gold.
Here is another card made with one of the Taylored Expressions Grumpling characters. They make me giggle.
I blended a few distress inks on the daffodil card stock to give the sunrise some dimension.
Although, I am a morning person – up before any alarm 95% of the time.

Here is the dahlia stencil again! I wanted to make it look like a tie dye spiral pattern this time.
L.O.V.E. how this turned out!
Supplies: Stamp – My Favorite Things, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Pool Party, inks – Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Ink Squeezed Lemonade, Tumbled Glass, VersaFine Onyx Black, stencil – Taylored Expressions, embossing powder – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear.
This background was from my ink blending play last weekend. The dahlia stencil is just perfect.
What is going on in your world? Do you have a busy week ahead?
I have several sessions of physical therapy (plantar fasciitis) and 2 doctor’s appointments scheduled for myself. Not sure what my parents’ needs will be yet.

Hope your week is going well.

Hello!
I was inspired by an Instagram hop (or blog hop? or both?) for Pride Month that I saw recently.
Here is another card, I used a strip that was left over from the card above.
My hopes for everyone: living your most authentic life, without fear or discrimination, with supportive people around you, and LOVE.
My crafting mojo has been absent for a while. I did crank out 6 cards over the weekend – just playing with stencils I had not used before. It felt wonderful to be inky. Hopefully, the mojo will stick around. Life has been really busy – taking care of parents and trying to get in-laws approved for a better living arrangement.
Thanks for stopping by!
