Hello Friends, I am back for another celebration. Love having celebrations and especially Birthday’s …. brings me some joy and I hope it does for you too.
On another note I just announced the winners for my donation incentive blog post so click here if you missed it.
Today Waffle Flower is celebrating 6 years ! Happy Birthday to Waffle Flower. If you are coming from the amazing Cathy Zielske blog you are in the right place. To start at the beginning go to the Waffle Flower Blog here. (You also will find the full blog hop list)
The way we are celebrating is picking our favorite six using the beautiful Waffle Flower stamps. In this photo these are the three I want to feature first. LOVE the variety of the stamps.
This beautiful bouquet builder #5 is watercolored and it’s one of my favorites. I always talk about adding brown and you can see many small areas on this bouquet with brown accents. You can read more about this card in this blog post.
This stamp makes me soooo happy and I love it so much. I remember adding all kinds of fun details on this one. You can check out the blog post here.
This carnation stands out, is so elegant and regal and easy to watercolor? This You can check out my video for this card here & the blog post here if you want more tips on how I created this. Unfortunately the stamp is sold out.
I remember the joy I felt when I painted this. Here is the blog post to see the other card I created with this stamp. The cherries or berries adds so much and I love the way she’s holding her sweet cat.
Assembling a bouquet to your own liking is so rewarding. These petals scream doodle me lol. The blog post for this card you can see here.
I love making granola for family and friends when I get some spare time. I need to find some time to jazz up my next batch. Here is my current favorite granola recipe. (I add double the recipe and three cups of old fashioned oats) You can find the blog post here for the gift tag girl and the video here.
