I'm back from vacation and having a hard time getting back into card making. I stamped a lot of images and took my Zigs with me thinking I would have time to do some coloring but instead of spending time at the river, we spent it with my brother and sister-in-law and kept busy the entire time. We had a lot of fun and I ended up with 5 antique quilts in the bargain. Internet was sketchy so I only had time to comment for my Design Teams. I'm trying to catch up on the over 500 emails but I won't be commenting on them all. Rest assured I am looking at your wonderful creations and oohing and aahing, just not taking the time to write anything.
I did have time today to make a card for
Merry Monday - use branches or twigs. What better stamp to use that this one from PB.
I used a 3 x 7 format, cutting the watercolor paper slightly smaller and roughing up its edge. Distress Markers were colored onto the stamp and then spritzed and repeated until I was satisfied with how it looked. The white berries and the snow on the pine cone are acrylic paint as are some of the splatters added to the ones using Distress Ink. The PB sentiment is embossed in Liquid Platinum and there is a little of it on the cone. I was having trouble with the paint turning brown so I tried to emboss over it. Not the best idea but it's okay.
Maybe I'll get a chance to make a few more cards or color some of the stamping while I catch up on my TV shows on demand. We didn't watch TV (except for March Madness) so my favorites are waiting for me.
Thanks for dropping by and I hope you are all doing well.

Over the top beautiful! Love your gorgeous pine cones.
Welcome back, sounds like you had a blast! I was having some mojo trouble myself but hopefully will get a few things done today before I head into night duty (which definitely sucks the creativity out of me lol). Love your beautiful design Bobby, I just had to pin it!
This is a fabulous work of art Bobby!!
Stunning! LOVE your added snow and sounds like you had a good trip! Thanks for playing along with us at Merry Monday.
Wow, Bobby, this is so striking and artistic ... it deserves to be framed! Good to hear you had such a fun vacation ... and to have you back! Hugs, Anita :)
Such a gorgeous card!!
So pleased to read that you had such a lovely holiday - with five antique quilts too!
WOW! Your image is perfect for the challenge! Gorgeous! Great to hear your holiday was wonderful; the quilts sound amazing! As for catching up: remember the 'rule'...just start where you want and move forward (although I'm doing the opposite with you because I'm in dire need of inspiration and your cards always prove to be so!). Enjoy catching up on TV shows!
Hugs~c
