Rhonna Farrer Stamps

Okay, so the other day I was lucky enough to find a couple of the Rhonna Farrer stamps at JoAnn's. I got three different flowers and each was only $1. WOOHOO right? Well, it gets better. I was wandering in Hobby Lobby and I discovered that their clear stamps were on sale and that they had some of the Rhonna Farrer collection. I got "Second Nature" (set of 9) and "Hearts and Stars"(set of 12) and they were both on sale for 1/2 off. So, I got a LOT of stamps for $14. YAY! I can't wait to put some time in creating with the stamps I bought.

This card was made using the colors Ballet Blue, Certainly Celery, and Bravo Burgandy. I was inkspired by a card that I saw on Splitcoast stampers for these colors, but the person had used Bashful Blue instead of ballet and I did not realize until too late. SO, this one is all my own. I stamped the background flowers in chocolate chip. The ribbon is also chocolate chip. Each of the flowers was watercolored using a blender pen and the lids of my inkpads. Then I used my diamond stickles (for the first time, I am no longer a stickles virgin - YAY) on top of each flower. They are so glittery and pretty in real life. "Hello" sentiment is from my new Karen Foster Snap stamps and is stamped in Bashful Blue, and put inside a piece of hodgepodge hardware. I love how vibrant this card feels. Hope you are having a good Monday and thanks for coming by. See you soon.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...
