Red, white and blue

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is Red, White and Blue.

The red "bunting" if you will....border die is cut out of a red piece of cardstock that I had stamped and white heat embossed the music background stamp onto. I really love how it came out and how well it goes with the flag. I used mini ink cubes and a post it note to ink up the stamp. Kept this CAS because it's all about the center stamp/flag. =)  Happy 4th of July!

Hi there

Hello everyone! Now that we've been rescued from the massive heat wave in the pacific northwest, life can get back to normal for a while! whew! 110 Degrees is way too hot!

Here's a card I did for this weeks Try Stamping on Tuesday - I really liked the sketch and paired it with some of the yummy eucalyptus paper from HL. Sentiment is from Technique Tuesday and I embossed the leaves on the right cardstock using a die from Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello - lots of texture

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

 

I was inspired by the texture of the hat and the book, so I used those as a jumping off point with the sketch. Sentiment is from MFT, the newsprint stamp is from PTI and the burlap is from DCWV.

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge, once again, they have knocked it out of the park.

Scenery challenge - Mountain lake

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is to build a scene.

Not one of my best cards, but it was fun never the less. Stencils are from Honey Bee called winter wonder. I stamped, colored with copic's and fussy cut out the fish. Popped them up on the ripples in the water using small foam squares.

Thank you - red poppies

Hello. It's time for another sketch from Try Stamping on Tuesday.

Poppies are colored with Copics. I've had this colored up in my stash for a while and cut it down to use with this sketch. I chose to keep it CAS for this one.  Honey bee frame die used on black cardstock. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Just a note - ink lifting

Hello. It's my turn to do a Pick of the Week project and I'm revisiting one I did a while ago on alcohol ink lifting. I had saved one of the backgrounds that I created previously and put it to use for this weeks card. 

You never know when one of the background you create when your having fun will end up working on a new project.  I added some Nuvou black drops for the centers of the flowers. The small butterfly die from Memory Box worked well for the center of the flower vine.  Just a note stamped and heat embossed with inks that match the alcohol inks. Finally, I spritzed this with some sparkle shimmer spritz. I can't believe it actually shows up in the photos.

That's it for now. Join us on Wednesday for our Black and White challenge. 

Thanks,
