It's been a joy seeing all that Ruby 'shares' in the crafting community. Her love of learning and mastering new techniques is evident in her creations! The amount of cards and projects Ruby shares is staggering! BRAVO!!
***Remembering a PM several years ago from Ruby about hoping to be on the same DT someday...I feel we are already on the most rewarding team together now. Team Mamma:
creatively nurturing little people; growing them in mind, body and spirit:))In celebration of RUBY, I created this card, encouraging her to CONTINUE creating for the JOY and wonder of it all:))
Here's my card:
OH, what fun I had creating this one! Using the MISTI and Crips inks, along with clean water mist, I achieved a very loose watercolor look on the leaves and Flowers. I shared a quick process video on Instagram of how I made the "gingham look" background. CLICK here to see it:) After fussy cutting and inking the edges of the leaves, I arranged a pretty floral swag mixed with a few blooms simply stamped and die-cut for interest.
I then added a heat embossed sentiment and a thin messy bow and clear drops for embellishment.
Why do I craft? Because creating is wonderful therapy for me...working through a technique and completing a project is VERY satisfying:) like chocolate and afternoon tea.
Supplies used:
ALTENEW, Ethereal Beauty, Focus on You, Molded Lines Stencil, Crisp Inks: Sea Shore Mini Cube Set, Sweet Dreams Mini Cube Set, Tropical Forest Mini Cube Set,
SHIMMERZ paints products; SPRITZ :Chick-a-dee, VIBEZ:Glorious Day
Silver Floss, Clear Embossing powder, Nuvo Drops
Your next stop is the final blog on the list; Michele Ferguson!
Flutter on over there to see an ethereal beauty of a card:)

Great colors. I love this set. But I love so much Altenew... Great success to Ruby. It's hard to believe it has been 4 years. She keeps getting better and better. Congrats and thanks to all the sponsors.
That’s a fun spring-feeling card.
Really Pretty card!!!
Such a lovely background you created with the soft yellow gingham pattern. Almost looks like the flowers are resting on a tablecloth on the kitchen table. :) It's nice to see spring looking flowers as summer is winding down & most of the flowers have quit blooming in our yard. I love fall colours, but don't like to think about the winter season coming. This has been a marvellous blog hop & seeing the creations & beauty is like a gift in itself.
Lovely card! Thank you so much for sharing!
Card making/crafting is just good for the soul, I think! Love your card!

Laura, you're incredible!!! I love the way you color (and stitch). You're a very talented lady and I'm so happy you're celebrating with me. Hugs!
What ambitious projects. I like the combo of stamped images with water colored images on the card. Don't get me started on your stitching. I used to stich years ago and enjoyed creating projects but I had to put that craft aside. Thanks for sharing your artistry.
Beautiful card! I love the colors you used! Thanks for the inspiration!
You add beauty and brightness to your creations, and today is no exception. What a lovely creation in Rubeena's honor.

So pretty! Love the gingham background!
So colorful and cheerful!
Ink art! Fabulous! Love your project!
Great card! The soft yellow gingham background is so pretty without distracting from those beautiful flowers. I like the look of that inking and spritzing with water technique. It really softens the colors and image to give it more of a watercolor feel. Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful card! I love the silver bow!
Chocolate, afternoon tea and crafting... I totally agree!! 😉 love your loose watercolor!
Congrats to Ruby!
