Hello hello friends, Welcome to Day 14. Have you been hit with some of the snow …sleet …. rain? In Maryland we are getting a mix of everything. My dream weather event is for a big dump of fluffy snow and then for it all to melt the next day. 🙂
Not much natural light today so my background is not my regular one for the challenge. Love these sweet sweet stamps from Pretty Pink Posh. I combined “Easter Blessings” with “Forever Friends” for my card today. Finishing a card off with some 4mm water droplets and 6mm droplets gives your card that extra texture.
I am getting nervous my twine roll is dwindling down and I need to reorder. I colored some with a green marker & to hold the twine in place I fit it between my foam tape to tie my bow.
Even though I have been using stencils for years … it never gets old. Such a quick and easy fix for an interesting background. Today I used this bubble stencil with some lavender ink.
Have a good day and good luck with this crazy weather. See you tomorrow for another giveaway. Hugs, Kathy

The twine is a awesome idea!
Purple, my favorite color!!!
Coloring the twine: great idea!
Love the green twine! Your flowers are lovely! TFS!
So sweet. Love the bubble background.
Love your card, that little girl is so adorable. 🙂
This is so sweet! I love the purples and the stencil too! Agree, that stenciling is always fun!! Sorry your weather is yucky! I couldn’t live somewhere that’s so cold!! Sending warm sunshiny hugs!
Just wet with some freezing rain (gone now) this morning, making for some power outages around here and cancelling my Bible study this morning. We are south and west of Richmond, VA, generally the dividing line for every event, so we never know when to believe the forecasts! Hunker down and color! And…I want to see your bow-tieing trick. I don’t think I’ve seen it and it’s still something I have trouble with (especially the teeny tiny bow out of thin string!)
Perfect weather to hunker down and color, that’s for sure!
You really hit it out of the park Kathy ! Every little tip you have is like priceless hidden treasures to me !
Darling card, Kathy!
Sweet! It’s amazing how much a simple bow in a contrasting colour adds to the overall design of this almost monochromatic colour scheme.

I do this with my twine too when I put it on a card!! I am glad to know that I am not nuts!! This is a darling card!! Your coloring is fabulous!! We are getting a Nor’easter here in CT. Snow day!!
Perfect day to color!!
Such a cute card, Kathy! Thanks for sharing it & the twine tip!
BEAUTIFUL as always.Plz. stay in and be safe.Sending warm hugs
Your Easter card is so lovely…Love that background…!! We are expecting 2ft.
of snow in NH…
Stay warm Carol! Perfect time to color!
Good luck with your weather wish Kathy! i was just out in a blizzard going to appointments and getting groceries. Thank heavens for snow tires and all wheel drive German cars HOOO! What a sweet card! Love the flower pot tied up with string. Super way to add an extra texture.
Be safe Bunny. Enjoy the snow day by coloring!! 🙂
Purples and pinks have always been my least used colors, but you’ve made me see how beautiful they can be. Another winner!
This is adorable, Kathy! I have to tell you I am loving your stencilled backgrounds – I haven’t tried this yet but definitely going to! I just love the look of it!
Love this card so much, Kathy it is just adorable. Plus you can’t ever go wrong with the color purple. I have to share this with you, I finally went out of my comfort box and made one of the type cards with the slider thingy, Hubby’s birthday, he loves golf, put the art impressions guy driving the golf cart in tall grass trying to get to his birthday cupcake lol. I will try to post a picture but you just can’t get the jest of it without seeing it moving lol.
Yay Bobbie, that’s awesome you stepped out of your comfort zone and are so pleased with the card! It sounds amazing. Proud of you!
Kathy, what is the trick of tying a bow with the help of foam tape? please demonstrate.
Hi Diane. I just held the twine betweenj the foam tape as showed in the photo above. I then turned over the image and tied a bow on the opposite side. Hopefully that makes sense to you now! 🙂
Such an adorable card Kathy! Here in CT we are having a pretty big winter blizzard! It’s very windy so I’m praying the power will not go out again. Luckily it came right back on! Have a wonderful Tuesday! Hugs xxoo
Stay safe, Trina! Time to color!
I ordered Easter Blessings – it shipped today. Love your sweet card – purple rocks!
Very cute card Kathy, I love the sentiment and that sweet little girl! Thanks for your tip about colouring twine, I wouldn’t have thought of that -and I also love the stencilled background:-)
Very pretty, and purple is my favorite color as well.
Funny my twine is almost out also.. just ordered some few days ago. Also like the idea of coloring the twine.. Love the two images combined. Love when I see this. Gives me more ideas to not stick with one set but branch out to others to make a cuter card. I like the stencil background gives a soft interest. Sweet card as always.
Thank you again, for your sweet comments, Billie.
so sweet!
loe backround!
These are both SO CUTE Kathy, a fabulous job!
We are just beginning to get the nasty weather you are speaking of Kathy, here in Nova Scotia! Hopefully by my birthday, all will be well (AND WARM {ER}!) LOL
Happy almost birthday!
So sweet!!!
Good luck with your dream snowfall. I am from eastern Canada (and now live in California) but I always thought it would be great to have snow for Christmas week into New Year’s Eve and then have it all go away! We could ski and skate all winter though if it only snowed on the mountains. Ha Ha.
When I do small bows, I make “rabbit Ears’ with the two sides and just make a bow. It works every time. Enjoy your snow days! I actually miss them – a lot.
Thanks for your sweet comment, Erna!
Beautiful card and coloring Kathy! I’m so sorry your weather is so awful, here in AZ we’re having hot weather–too early for most of us residents! We’re in the 90’s, suppose to be 97 by the end of the week. I tried to go early to run errands today, even had to stop at Starbucks for an iced coffee drink to cool off! I’m in the midst of re-organizing my craft space and going out this evening, so no coloring for me today. But I did find a container that fit my distress crayons in–on my “color mediums” Raskog cart. Love that thing, so easy to wheel around where I need it. Keep warm. wish I could send you some of our sunshine and fresh lemons!
Beautiful card!! Awesome tip with the twine, I will have to try that!! TFS hugs!!
This is SO CUTE, Kathy! I’ve been using stencils too….. 😉 I LOVE them!!!
What a neat trick for the bow! Beautiful card as always!
Such a cute card! Love the purples and greens! It’s bucketing here too but it’s 27C so warm and sticky!
I really loved how you combined these 2 stamps for such a cute card. Perfect colors and design!
So sweet, I have just bought some new Gorjuss stamps from Santoro, the little girls are sooooo cute, I can’t wait to get busy with my spectrum noir pens xxx Thanks for the inspiration xxx Mary
That girl is just adorable!!
That Easter card is absolutely adorable. The children are so innocent and wholesome looking! It snowed all day here in CT yesterday and folks are still shoveling out today! Good to get a glimpse of spring with your cards!
We did not get any of the bad weather conditions. Where I am in AZ is in the mountains and we do get snow a few times a year. It is just about the way you describe as your dream, when we do. It snows and sometimes we can wake up to a few inches and it is melted by the afternoon. Other times, it does stay around for a few days. I don’t want to brag, but it has been in the mid 70s all werk.
Awww, what an adorable card!!! <3
Oh so adorable… :o)
