Another week of fun travels and another week of seeing friends while on the road at work. Twice in a row!! This week I got to hang out with my pilot training roommate and fellow United pilot, Cathy, and the fancy, fabulous Jeanna Bohanon. Seeing two of my dear friends, from two different sides of my life, meet and get along so well brought me such joy! And they live close to each other. I foresee Cathy learning to stamp after all!! *smile*
For our sketch this week, the clever and talented Linda Callahan is our hostess. This sketch is so fun and unique….just like Linda! How these ladies keep finding such original ideas is amazing!
Recognize this stamp set??!! Let me give you a hint. Cool, trendy and it shows up at your door once a month. That’s right! Paper Pumpkin!!! I knew the minute I saw these flowers that I would be using them over and over. Never mind how cute the kit is (and it is), this stamp is a gift that keeps giving. I’ve been saying that about Paper Pumpkin for a while but this month’s set is over the top fun! I took the flowers and stamped in Momento Black and then colored them with Copics markers. I stamped some leaves from Garden in Bloom to add to the edges. Love how they coordinate! The sentiment (also from Paper Pumpkin June) was stamped and then I hand drew the line using my Project Life Journaling Pen. All of this is stamped on the new Thick Whisper White. The paper handles the markers beautifully (and don’t forget it can handle watercoloring too). I hand cut the flowers and popped them up on Glue Dots and Dimensionals.
The ladies on the DT have such fun interpretations of this sketch…no surprise! Make sure you run over and tell Linda how much you love this too!
I have a big stretch of flying coming up but hopefully some stuff to share while I’m gone. I might even get another bonus visit with a stamping friend! I know….crazy, right?! I have always warned people that I might show up on their doorsteps with short notice. Now they believe me! Thanks so much for stopping in today. See you soon!

Gorgeous! Love those PP stamps and you colored them beautifully! So fresh and clean! And I am so glad you manage a visit or two when you are around…….call any time!
Those flowers are absolutely adorable and your coloring is fabulous! And how lucky you are that you can drop in on your stamping friends when your schedule allows. I wish I could do that!!
Lovely. I took a couple of Copics classes a few years ago, but didn’t buy many. I’ve been on the brink if buying more and this project pushed me off. So how come you can’t get one of those flights to Hilo? Would love to have you visit!
This is so very, very beautiful and your Copic coloring is wonderful with such depth. How wonderful to meet up with more friends. So when are you going to fly longhaul 😉
Fabulous flowers! I love them layered like that – and such sweet colors!
Love those flowers, love your card. Karen x
