10 minute Water color card....

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

How was your weekend? Mine?

Pretty good! I got to talk with my Marine!

He got back from his deployment - YAY!

He's doing well & seems very Happy - 

Which makes me HAPPY! 😃

I also, made some time for baking - I don't know if I've

ever told ya this before... but I LOOOOVE to bake! 

and well... Cook too! 😊

I'm addicted to pinterest for recipes...

My sister & I, take pictures of our meals/desserts

and then send it to each other.. saying.. look what I made! hahaha

Since we don't live near each other... this is our sisterly thing

we like to do! LOL - So this weekend I made a yummy

Kentucky Butter cake (which I never made before) - 

It was soooo dang GOOD! Moist & delicious! 😊

I also made a homemade Tuna Noodle Casserole dish

 on the stove top (which I've never tried before) - Turned out tasty!

I made a buttery/garlic loaf of bread (so good) and 

homemade Tortellini Ham Alfredo (this I've made many times, using

a homemade sauce) - But it was just fun to relax, unwind and

spend some time in the kitchen... usually when it's HOT out...

Like this time of year - I cook with my Crockpot a lot!!

It's better than turning on my oven... 😉

Any who... enough about my silly weekend cooking/baking!

Thought I would share a 10 minute card I made with ya!

Something Else I did over the weekend... make some cards!

Quick & easy cards at that! LOVE those! 😋

Okay.. this card was soooo easy to make.. it's sad! hahahaha
The Silhouette store has a sale on Print N Cut items... and...
NOT that I needed any more files (I have way too many) I don't use!
I fell in LOVE with the colors on this Water color Thinking of you card design...

Now... I didn't use the card base... I made my own.. But I did
take the card front image & printed it out.... I then Sprayed it
with some Acrylic Matte Sealer - Why Sealer?
Because my printer is an ink jet printer - If I want to add any
wink of Stella or glitter spray I need to add the sealer first & let it dry, 
so my image doesn't get ruined by the water...  😊
It's suppose to protect the paper/image...

After I did that... I sprayed my image with some
Sheer Sparkle Shimmer Spray (I love this stuff) It makes
the whole card front Sparkle... 😍
Then die cut it out with a Stitched Rectangle card mat die...

I added some Fun Foam to the back of it, to let it have
some dimension, attached it to my card base....
Added some pretty gems.... and the front was done....
I also made a scalloped border for the inside of my card,
just to bring the whole thing together....
Easy as PIE!!! Yummy... pieeeee..... 😁
