April 14th Weekly Post HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my HONEY!

 Hey there!
Hope your weekend was good and your week is going well.
Marion is hosting this week's Sunday Postcard Art with a SHAKESPEARE theme.
I looked in my stamps for anything appropriate and came up with Cornish Heritage Farms castles/buildings and a Scrollswork Elizabethan couple embracing. So I stamped the buildings on a 4x6 precut torn-edge watercolor card, sketched a scene around them and then stamped the couple on another piece of card and fussy cut it. I colored my scene with watercolors, added the couple and the sentiment which was created in PSE and printed out. Since my sentiment is from a Shakespearean play set in Medina, Sicily, I searched images of it online and tried to make my sketched scene look like that area. 
Don't know how close I came but I tried!
Heehee
All's well that ends well!

And speaking of couples, my better half turns 74 today!

I got out Creative Stamping Issue 99's Sentimentally Yours stamps, my Amazon bee wreath die, a Momenta small bee die and Pink Paislee's Queen Bee designer papers to make this card for him. I needed something round to put behind the wreath and found this Webster's Pages round die cut. I stamped the bee balm on the vertical strip element and colored with Promarkers, as I did the center die cut bee. I made his wings blue to blend with the round paper piece. I stamped the sentiment on some yellow vellum, heat-embossed it, outlined the top line with a white gel pen, die cut it with Clear Dollar Stamp label dies and some brown scrap card, and popped it onto the card with foam tape.
Used this sketch, stretching it to 6x6.

Well, that's what I have this time.
Hope your week goes well.
Thanks for the visit!
XOXO
