Hi everyone!!! This week is going by so fast. How do I know that? Because I still have way to much to get done!! I hope you are having a great week so far. We are having wonderful weather where I live and allergy season is finally over. We've been catching some rays at the pool at the gym this week. It's nice to be outside doing things - especially in the evenings. My favorite time of day is dusk, when the sun sets and it's not quite dark. Since I am a night owl, that is like the beginning of the second part of my day!
Today I'm posting as part of a Creative Blog Hop for Reverse Confetti! Yahoooooo! I love Jen, and her beautiful stamps, and I'm so happy she invited me to take part today. We're hopping - with no theme - and just celebrating a big sale going on over at the Reverse Confetti Store. The full blog hop list is at the bottom of my post. Welcome here from my uber talented friend Laurie's Blog!
I went through ALLLLL my Reverse Confetti stamps to see what would strike inspiration for this hop today. Well, that cute little grinning alligator caught my eye. I love him! I've made a lot of cards with this stamp set (Later Alligator) and it pairs perfectly with the Weather it Together stamp set. I created a sweet scene and had fun coloring with my Kuretake Zig Brush Markers!
I started with a crisp white A2 card base and layered lime green cardstock and another layer of white. I popped in a bit of gingham in the middle for some visual interest and cuteness! I colored everything with Zig Clean Color Markers in bright rainbow shades to make the card happy. The matching die cuts work like a dream.
Isn't he so adorable??? Can alligators even be cute?? Well, he is!! I colored the gator with two shades of green and used water to move the colors around. Easy peasy to color all these images quickly.
I couldn't resist some bits of sparkly Hero Arts fine glitter on the umbrella, clouds and sunshine. Just makes a bit of a pretty shimmer on everything. I use a glue pen, and it dries very quickly so you don't have to set it aside for long.
Rain or Shine, you're always on my mind, friends!
Thanks for popping and hopping by today as part of this awesome blog hop! Don't forget the sale code is good through the 11th: SUMMER20 for 20%off your entire Reverse Confetti order. Enjoy the rest of your day, and enjoy the hop! Next up is the sweet and wonderful Susan and her amazing blog!
SUPPLIES FOR TODAY!

That's what friends are for.... Love the colors and I do love Reverse Confetti products. Nice combination of sets. Glad your week has been good. We are coming into some heat here in Michigan. Several of days at 90. Too hot for me. I have several cards to do for July, so I will be in the air conditioned comfort of my room.
