Inspiration photo challenge

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the use the following graphic.

I used Ranger Distress Oxide inks to blend out the sky using the colors in the photo. I stamped the tree and grass in grey ink and then added some white pigment ink over the top to resemble snow. Then went back and added some white paint onto the tree using a white brush paint pen. I then hand drew the birds flying in the sky.  Light gray cardstock used as the base of the card. 

There's a new challenge every week over at  The House That Stamps Built, and you don't have to use Repeat Impressions stamps to link up or win. Also, for my blog readers: Enjoy the 10% discount code to the Repeat Impressions Store posted on the sidebar.

I used stenciling, shimmer and watercolors. It's hard to see the shimmer in the photo, but the back ground is pretty sparkly. Stencil is from Paper Smooches. I created the background using distress oxide inks and a lot of water. Then spritzed with shimmer mist. I also added some black splatters.

hello

Hello - playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today.

Kept it clean and simple so that the rose bud stood out. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is designer choice challenge and it's Donna's call that we use Hearts.

I used Tumbling Hearts (1210-K) and stamped it using my misti on the upper half of a piece of cardstock. I did stamp it several time to get the red ink really saturated on the paper. The sentiment is computer generated.

One layer birthday card

Hello. Playing in the card challenge over at Less is More today. The theme challenge is tiny and few. Here is what I did with it.

This ended up being a one layer card. Presents are a digital stamp and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. I heat set the ink then colored with a red copic marker.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy birthday to you

Hello. I've been out of town on business this last week and had no time to destress by stamping and making a card. However, as soon as I got home and saw this super cute CAS sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, I got busy.

Sentiment is from My Favorite Things and the washi tape is from Altenew called painted fantasy. It's one of the larger rolls of tape. It worked well with this sketch, as I just covered some cardstock with it then cut it out using a circle die.

Sparkle pink cardstock is from Hero Arts. I used the quilted dot embossing folder from Darice on the white panel behind the circle.

Thanks for stopping by.
