Enough Snow already!

 

 

This is the card I made for the

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

 

 

 

The challenge was to add a little texture, so I used the

Simon Says Stamp stencil- Falling snow with white embossing paste.

 

Once it was dry, I added a little color to the raised snow dots with copic marker # b00

 

Next I adhered this panel to a blue top folding card base and cut out a circle through both layers.

 

I used a MFT die to cut out the conversation bubble around my own heart felt sentiment that I typed on the computer!

 

 

 

Here's the inside with the puppy positioned to peek out of the hole on the front.

 

Brr...still cold. I think I'll go back to making spring time cards!

 

Stay warm and happy.

 

'till next time,

looking forward to spring

 

 

 

So, with sub zero temps outside my window, I find myself desperately

looking forward to spring!

 

 

Check out today's Paper Smooches Challenge.

 

I'm glad it is  Anything Goes so that I can do the spring thing!

 

 

I love this little bird from the Paper Smooches spring fling stamp set.

I call him Chester!

 

I kept the layout pretty clean and simple, with patterned paper on the bottom.

I used Copic markers

R81-pink flower

YR02 and YR68-orange flower and beak

YG13-leaf and little brush flicks to look like grass

FY1- Chester

Hello!

 

Today I'm playing along with the

High Hopes Rubber Stamps

Challenge # 152

 

You can check out their blog HERE

 

 

 I only have one High Hopes stamp.

( Christmas theme and I'm so NOT in the mood to make a Christmas card!)

 

The blog does offer one really cute digi stamp, so that's what I used.

 

What do you think?

 

 

I'm still not sure about the sentiment being cut out ....

but, hey...it's done already!

 

thanks for stopping by.

Just Chillin'

 

 

Hi!  It seems like forever since I've posted!

 

Today It's really super cold and snowy. A great day for

staying inside and making a card.

 

 

I made this card to play along with the Free 4 All challenge on Splitcoaststampers.

 

The challenge was to make a card using the Wrinkle-Free Distress technique

for the background. You can find the tutorial HERE.

 

Making the background was fun.  To finish the card I stamped the ice fishing bunny

first on the background piece and then again on white cardstock which I then colored and cut out and layered over top the stamped image on the pretty background.

 

Here's what I did for the inside:

 

Still left lots of room to write what you want.

 

Here's the supplies I used:

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Stay warm!
