Dance on the Breeze


"Let's go fly a kite.....All at once you're lighter than air.  You can dance on the breeze over houses and trees..."  You might recognize the lyrics from Let's Go Fly a Kite from Disney's Mary Poppins.  It's the song sung at the end when Mr. Banks has figured out that his family is more important than anything.  I just love the phrase "Dance on the Breeze."   So I've made a couple of cards (and a free printable) with that sentiment.



First up is this adorable vintage image of two kids and their pup flying a kite.  Perfect for the song, right?  



I just got this adorable bunny stamp and with the balloons, he finds himself dancing on the breeze.  So sweet and so fun to color!  

I created a no line (well almost no line) image by inking the images with melon and gently stamping the ink off with the first impression and then firmly pressing down to create a second lighter image to color.



The clouds were created by cutting a scallop image freehand and then sponging on Tumbled Glass distress ink - just moving the clouds up the paper and moving the clouds right or left so they wouldn't be stacked up.


The sentiment is available to download  in two different styles and 2 colors.  On this one, I printed it off and punched the end for a little bit of fanciness.  


You can download the kids below.  They come in the original vintage background and also with a white background.

Hope you've had a lovely weekend and hope you have a lovely week, too!  If things get you down, think about Mr. Banks and dance on the breeze!

Mother's Day Free Printables!



Home is where Mom is!  That's always true.  Sometimes you just want your mom.  No one else will do.  I created this sweet cottage printable to give to my mom.  I'm sharing it with you, in case you would like to give one to your mom.



I cleaned up the image and added the sentiment.   Before I framed it, I decided to add a pretty wash of blue watercolor to the sky.  So I printed the image on 90lb watercolor paper.  

Watercoloring the sky isn't a necessary step, but I think it looks pretty and it was fun to do.  You don't need fancy watercolors - even the cheapest will work great!

After I got it framed, I decided a pretty tag was in order.   So I created some printable Mother's Day tags, too.



I printed my tags on 90lb watercolor so they would match the cottage print.  You can print them on cardstock, too.  

You'll notice that these tags have no lines.  They are 90% finished.  You get to cut and embellish them however you want!  I really love that - they are so versatile and the possibilities are endless!  



You can die cut them, emboss or punch them!  Add pretty colored hole reinforcers, too.  Use twine or ribbon....



Here is one that I left long - could be a bookmark.



Here is the one I cut into a flag shape to use for the tag on my framed cottage.
