12 Kits for May!

It's the last day of the month, and that means we get to share the projects we made with one of the 12 Kits...this month's was created by Marybeth Lopez!  It was such a beautiful one with soft colors and both elegant and whimsical images for the themes...thank you, thinking of you, and get well soon.

Once again I have so many lovely things left over, but I did finish 4 items this month. First up is a get well card with an adorable little image from L'il Inker Designs...

I decided to make a round card because I don't make them often enough and I love how they look.  Created a little scene, even using some left over paper for the "grass" from Tracey's kit in March!  Marybeth sent us sequins which was very exciting for me since I only have some plain white ones :)

I was way heavy-handed on my coloring as my Copic instructor Colleen would have said!  I actually made a mistake in that I went for a mulicolored umbrella look and then ended up covering my original blue coloring with all red, eek!  I fussy cut the image because my coloring was bleeding...um, not a good look for a get well card :/!

More fun with Copics on this adorable scene called "Butterfly Garden" from Serendipity Stamps...

SO much fun to color!  I couldn't resist pairing it with Waltzingmouse Stamps new Country Labels 4 set.  Love this sentiment and thought it went along with the theme this month.  The mini heart is from the WMS Earth Angel set!

I glittered up the whole scene with Stickles and then added this gorgeous blue gem from Marybeth to the center of the biggest flower.  My girls were oohing and aahing over them.  I got two in my kit and wonder of wonders...I used them BOTH!

A card a bit out of my style with some fun die cuts...

Loved the "get well" die cut from Paper Smooches.

Such a sweet sentiment from Lockhart Stamp Company, and the bowl fit right in the swoop!!  Filled my bowl with some love :)

And last but not least a tag...

I had cut some flowers from another floral image from Serendipity Stamps called "Sun Garden" to frame the sentiment on my first card, and decided it was getting too busy.  So I made this pretty one the star of my tag, along with another sparkling gem...and a sweet bluebird die cut to match!  The picket fence die cut is from Papertrey Ink and the sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Vintage Garden Seed Packet set.

Wasn't this kit so amazing?!  Thanks SO much Marybeth for spoiling us!  I also wanted to mention that she even sent us a sentiment stamp set from Serendipity Stamps.  I meant to use it on my last tag but somehow papers got shuffled and then this little pennant caught my eye.  So sorry I didn't feature it, that was so generous of you, Marybeth!

I cannot even wait to see what the other ladies have dreamed up for today!  So here they are...
