Moose you

Hi all! I've scheduled some posts to go automatically while I'm away on business.

Since I'm in Alaska, I think I'll post this one for my DH, who would rather be with me, I'm sure. We both love the outdoors. In all my 9 years of traveling up there, I think I've only seen about 5 Moose, and almost hit one with the rental car once. She wanted to go across the highway and the car in front of me scared her. I was inches away and could have petted her through the window.

Anyway, stamps and dies are from the new stamp kit offered up over at My Favorite Things. Colored everything in Copic's as well as the cloud die cuts (PTI).

I used a hills border die to make the grass hills and then stuck things around and even some of them are popped up using tiny square foam tape for a bit of dimension.

That's it for now, thanks for stopping by for a look see.

Thank you

Hi everyone! Happy April Fools Day! Here is my take on the Freshly Made Sketch this week.

Stamps are a new set called Beautiful Blooms from My Favorite Things.

I used pigment inks from Fresh Inks from my LSS to stamp the flowers and leaves in.  The white accents on the pink flowers was done using a white Sharpie paint pen.

Pink cardstock is from SSS and the black is from PTI. White cardstock is Neenah solar white 110lb.

Added some clear dew drops for dimension and interest and called this one done.

I'm also sharing this into these Anything Goes challenges.

Polka dots

Hi everyone! Here is my take on the Polka Dot challenge over at Less is More.

The is an old stamp set from the former Angel Company. I stamped it in Fresh ink using the colors Chamomile and Basil. The center is done in brown.

I used my Stampoholic Nano to help me position the stamps. I just love the smaller version of this and use it way more than the original size.

Sentiment is from My Favorite Things as is the die that is the dot border around the white panel. Layered it with some yellow cardstock that matched the ink of the flower and then popped it up onto a white card base using foam squares.

Thanks for stopping in.

Happy bird day

Hi there. Here's my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.

Stamps are from Technique Tuesday. Birds are colored with Copic's.

Musical notes are also in the set. I stamped them vertically after coloring the cardstock with distress inks.

Yellow dots are homemade using pony beads and melted in the oven. I almost didn't add them on, but thought the card looked a bit empty and needed some bling.

I added the yellow ink (Lawn Fawn, butter) around the squares so that the stood out a bit again the white. I just used a make up sponge to apply it.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping in.

Hello

Hi everyone! Decided to pair the challenges over at Less is More (what's outside your window) with the challenge over at The Paper Players, CAS celebrate spring. Here is my take on it.

I dug out my old cherry blossom stamp that I've had forever. I actually think this is one of the first stamps I bought when I first started out. It says Delta on the side and I think I bought it at Michael's.

I stamped it in SSS intense black ink and then colored with Copic's.

Sentiment is from Wplus9 and the pink dots are from Doodlebug Designs. Layered this with some light pink cardstock to go with the cherry blossoms and called it good, which left a lot of white space on it. 

The trees are just starting to bloom here and look lovely.  Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday wishes

Hi all. Here's another card completed with a challenge in mind. This time it's a color challenge over at Just Us Girls.

Pink, yellow and purple go well with all the spring flowers we're starting to see outside! Oh, by the way, Happy first day of Spring!

I smooched some distress inks onto my craft mat and spritzed it with water then pounced some water color paper into it. Cut out the outline of the rose flower from My Favorite Things, stuck it to the papers after they dried and then cut around them.

I stuck them on the front of the card base with foam squares and then added the leaves behind.  Sentiment is from Wplus9. 

Gotta finish up my Cinderella chores now. Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you

Hi everyone, here is my take on the sketch over at CASe this sketch. Went with a very feminine twist this time around.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I stamped it using my Nano several times to get the black the darkest it could be.

The light pink polka dot designer paper is out of my stash so I have no idea who made it.  Colored the lace with the R81 Copic marker. Small scalloped border is from Lifestyle crafts.

Pink rose is from Kaisercraft and the leaves are a punch from Martha Stewart crafts.
