week end out

Camping this week end. Bought a bike to ride last week. Isn't it pretty!!

Saw this guy while I was out riding this morning. 

On my way to the pool before it gets crowded to soothe my sore muscles. Haven't been on a bike in probably 40 years. Enjoy your week end. 

MFP Stamps Challenge 22

This is a color week and the color is TURQUOISE. What better color for a beach card. 

Shells and Sand Dollar are all sponged with inks.

MFP Stamps Challenge 20

This week is a technique. Check it out. I've never done this. Lois calls it Half Die.

My morning Glories were colored with pencils and background sponged with Memento Ink.

Ruby's Rainbow Challenge 129

It's time for another challenge at Ruby's Rainbow and this one was a challenge for me. You are to use a clear embellishment.  I just had nothing. So the only thing I could come up with was an acetate overlay. The Sentiment is stamped on the front of the acetate as well as the popped up dragonfly. The Iris are colored with pencils.
