Hello and Happy Sunday!
We had great weather this week, which was good because we started some repair work here at Casa Winans. Having workmen under foot all week took some getting used to! And more for the week ahead, but it has to be done. I'm just thankful that so far I haven't had to move any art supplies or creating areas!
The theme this week at Sunday Postcard Art is Bloom and Grow, hosted by Peggy.
I have an Artistic Outpost stamp set named Bloom & Grow, so I used the seed packet frame, the flowers and the sentiment from it. For the 4x6 background, I sponged on Mustard Seed Distress Ink, then Wild Honey DI through a TH Hive Layering Stencil. After that dried, I got out my bees from various stamp companies and stamped them all over the background with Versafine Clair ink. I edged the card with a brown marker. I stamped the frame and then the flowers on some scrap ivory yellow paper, colored the flowers with Promarkers, stamped bees around it, and then fussy cut the frame to adhere. The bottom horizontal strip was cut out of brown scrap using a Spellbinders Torn Edge Rectangle die. I stamped the sentiment and die cut it using a Spellbinders Fancy Labels die and adhered both to the card.

This is a card made for our mail lady.
SU card base, Prima Melody collection designer papers, mats cut using Spellbinders Labels 2 dies, images and sentiments are from Katy Sue Designs Decoupage kit, and 3 pink rhinestones to finish.
And here is the sketch that I used.

This is a card that I made a brother-in-law.
SU and Basic Grey card stocks, Junkitz designer papers, Impression Obsession bird dies, MFT stamped sentiments on Amazon Nested Arch die cuts (2 used as sentiment strips and the largest is a frame for the focal image). The focal image was created with stamps from Creative Stamping Magazine issue 86 and colored with Promarkers and colored pencils.
And the sketch I used, rotating it to the left and then resizing it to 6x6.

This is a card I made for a girlfriend I've known since first grade.
I used an SU card base, Prima Sasha collection designer papers, Gemini oval and square torn edge dies, deckle edge deco scissors, a Lawn Fawn sentiment die and a Katy Sue Designs Decoupage kit floral image.
And the sketch that I used.

That's all for today.
I hope that your week ahead is a good one and I hope you'll join me again next Sunday!

Sounds like it's been busy at your casa, and you even managed to make a lot of great art too. Your first card with the flowers and bees is great. I love that bee background. I love combining stamps from various sets. It's time consuming to find the stamps (sometimes) but they always make for fun to combine them and usually you get great results. And the fishing scene is beautiful. Not that your other cards aren't lovely also. Because they are. I hope you have a great week ahead and don't have too much pounding or have to make your art supplies. Hugs-Erika
Wonderful artwork.
Your postcard projects are always so pretty and artistic, Aimeslee! Love them. Amazing coloring on your brother in law's card!! Hope all the work at your home goes well and finishes on time. Enjoy the lovely weather!! ^_^ Anita xx
Beautiful Blooming ang growing. Happy St. Patrick's Day
Oh yes, having work needing to be done can be disruptive especially if you're trying to craft! LOL Love your post today with the happy yellow bloom! I love the arched fisherman scene as well! Great masculine card. We just got some snow, but I think it's going to start warming up now little by little and we already have a few blooms coming out! Yay!
Beautiful cards Aimeslee, my favorite is the man in the boat fishing, the bee and flowers are so pretty, they are all beautiful..I suffered with workman last year and my windows were all papered up, couldn't see outside, and they left, FOUR weeks they were gone and I was really miffed..so I torn holes in some of the papers to let light in and so I could see the mail box...lol..
Luv CHRISSYxx
