Warm Winter Wishes

 Hello friends.  I have a wintry card to share today.  I made this card for a couple of challenges.

Just Us Girls - photo week

 

and also the Tic Tac Toe Challenge (first row down - snowman/snowgirl, white, die cut).

 

 

The image is from an older Art Impressions set but I can't find a name on it.  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics  I added white fun flock to the penguins hat brims and pom poms.  I also added light molding paste along the bottom for some textured snow.  I sponged lit. blue ink over the top for a sky.  I die cut the image with Lil' Inkers Design Side Stitched Rectangle die and then mounted it to a blue striped pattern paper..  The sentiment is from an older MFT  set (retired). This panel was added to the white card base and my card was done.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I really appreciate it when you leave a comment, it makes my day. 

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

CAS Christmas - Wreath

Hello friends.  Today I am sharing a card I made for the September CAS Christmas - Wreath challenge.  I am getting better at doing the CAS cards.

I was looking through my stamps for wreath images and found this older stamp set by Loralie Designs, Christmas 1.  I think I got it at a craft show several years ago.  This is the first time I have inked it up but love the pretty wreath.  I colored it with Copics and then die cut it with Lil' Inker Designs Side Stitched Rectangles die.  I added Wink of Stella to the berries, but it doesn't show up in the photo.  I then mounted the panel with foam tape to the card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday for The Flower Challenge

I made a birthday card for a friend using The Flower Challenge #21 - Use a Previous Challenge

After perusing the previous challenges, I chose Challenge #3 - Use an older stamp or die

I used a Sizzix/Hero Arts stamp and die set that I have had for quite a while.  I can't remember when I bought it; it was made in 2011 so I don't think it is available.  I stamped the flower/leaves image in SU Wild Wasabi and also in Cameo Coral.  I stamped the coral flowers twice and then fussy cut them, and shaped the petals, so I could arrange them how I wanted.  I clipped the green leaves image in sections also and rearranged them.  They are mounted with foam tape on a panel cut with Lil' Inker Designs Side Stitched Rectangle die.  I also added a butterfly from the same set and only glued it in the middle after shaping the wings.  The sentiment is from SU Beautiful Birthday (retired).  I stamped the background paper with MFT Diagonal Stripes Background in SU Cameo Coral ink.  The mats are SU Cameo Coral CS.  I added pearls to the flower centers and scattered some tiny pearls around the sentiment and mounted this panel with foam tape also.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Look Who's Turning 70

My sister requested a card for a friend who likes owls, so I used the inspiration from the Fusion Challenge and made this card.   The owls are stickers by Recollections.  I did the sentiment on the computer and stamped the 70 from SU Memorable Moments.  The sentiment panel is cut with Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Mats: Rounded Rectangles.  The DSP is from Recollections Home Basics 6x6 pad.  

This was a quick card as I am not used to using stickers, but I think it turned out cute.  I hope her friend likes it.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
