Sandy paws & Salty kisses - NewtonsNook BeachBarks

This was part of my latest order from Newton's Nook. Used colors: red, pink, yellow & white. Stamped sentiment, used clear embossing powder & heat embossed.

These 2 dogs are ready for some pool time. My Lab/Retriever Mix likes to lay in our wade-out area (we had the spa area remodeled to a wade-out area) and my German Shepherd Husky Mix does not like to get in the water. She has been in the water, she is just not fond of it. Do those of you that have dogs, do your dogs like the water?

I'd be all abalone without you - Hero Arts ColorLayeringAbalone

Have a wonderful 4th of July! Hubby is the chef for the day and chicken is on the menu. I made Deviled Eggs and will make salads with fresh vegs (Romaine lettuce, red leafy lettuce, sweet cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, cucumbers) from our garden & daughter is bringing a maple apple pie. Yum!  We will watch the fireworks on tv. Here you had to have a ticket to attend the fireworks. Tickets were free and they chose to limit attendance during the ongoing pandemic.

Tried my hand at some color layering stamping using Hero Arts: Abalone stamp/die & inks. Do you notice the greenery waving that I popped up on card?

Red/White/Blue Birthday Card - Hero Arts PartyAnimals

 Won the Party Animals stamp set watching & commenting on Hero Arts Daniel West Facebook Live a couple weeks ago. Ordered the coordinating die set and it arrived yesterday. Decided to make a Red/White/Blue birthday card. Used Confetti stencil for background with Distress Inks for Red & Blue and VersaMark ink for White and heat embossed all with clear embossing powder. Framed the background with pattern paper and nested dies come in handy to save on paper that goes wasted when parts of paper are not seen. I have been practicing my coloring and enjoyed coloring & adding shade to the cute elephant.
