The prize will be a $10 Gift Certificate from

Sweet 'n Sassy

 

Hello and welcome.  It's time for a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week we are being sponsored by Pammie's Inky Pinkies with the prize being a $10 gift certificate from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  Since this is the 5th Monday of the month, it is time for a theme challenge and this week we are going with animals (except birds or fish).  Now I know we all have quite a few animal stamps in our collections, so let's dust those off and get inky.

For my card I dusted of a long retired Stampin Up set, called Wolf, and stamped my card repeatedly in basic gray ink to create the background.  My main image was stamped using Colorbox charcoal chalk ink onto a vanilla panel.  I really like using my chalk inks on solid stamps since, I feel, I get better ink coverage.  After stippling some going gray ink around the edges, then layering, I added some black brads before adding it to my card.  My saying is from a retired MFP Stamp Shop (now closed) set was stamped in going grey twice onto vanilla scraps before punching both out.  After adding to a punched black oval scrap, I popped up the second saying oval for some added dimension.

Heartfelt Thanks, Before/After Turkey

Hello and welcome.  Today I'm playing along with a couple of challenges over at Splitcoaststampers among others.  My first card uses both some old and a new stamp (NBUS) sets.  I started out by stamping the lighthouse scene and boats (Mark's Finest Papers now closed) in memento tuxedo black ink and colored using prismacolor watercolor pencils with a blender marker.  I then used a Picket Fence Studios slimline cloud stencil, along with their blending brushes to create the background clouds.  After stamping the saying from a Hero Arts set I received as a gift, I was ready to assemble the card adhering it using some faux brads.  The final touches were waterfall ice stickles and a Sakura 3D glaze pen for the birds.

My second card uses an old, old, old Hanna Stamps (now closed) Thanksgiving set I've had for years and never used.  Why? I have no idea. For this one, I decided to go with a bit of snarky humor.  After stamping the turkey (live and cooked) in memento black, I colored them with Castle Art pencils before stippling some more mustard around the colored panel.  Once that was finished, and layered, I added some brads and faux sewing before laying aside to work on my card.  The card base has three different Thanksgiving images stamped in more mustard to make the background.  After adding my layered panel, I color spritzed a SU close to cocoa marker over the entire card before adding some tan fibers and googlie eyes to finish it off.

Hello and welcome.  It's time for a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week we are sponsored by Polkadoodles. I would like to thank Polkadoodles for sponsoring this week's challenge and for providing the design team the images used this week.  I am late posting my project since I'm dealing with some health issues still right now. 

I started out by printing the Snowmen Frosty Hugs Too Cute on Neenah white card stock then colored it using Castle Art Pencils before stippling Tim Holtz milled lavender and tumbled glass distress inks using Picket Fence Studios Blending Brushes.  Once all of my coloring was finished, I layered it onto scrap card stock and then added some silver/pearl heart brads. 

 

For my card base, I started out by stamping my saying from the retired Stampin Up Special Blessing so I could turn my project into a wedding card for a friend.  After stamping the saying, I dry embossed it using my big shot and a cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder before stippling more milled lavender distress ink over the embossed images.  Taking another scrap, I punched two snowflakes, stippled more milled lavender distress ink onto them, then added to the layered image under my heart brads.  The final touch was adding some diamond ice stickles as "falling snowflakes".

The Early Bird

Hello and welcome. First, I'd like to apologize for not posting in a while.  I've been dealing with some health issues on top of my migraines. 

 

Today I'd like to share a card I made using an old Garfield stamp (Rubber Stampede) and this hilarious saying from Art Impressions and a long retired Stampin Up set Espress Yourself.

I started out by stamping Garfield and my saying onto some scrap white card stock in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring Castle Art pencils using the Art Nudge #4 to guide my color combo.  Once my coloring was finished, I lightly stippled some dusty durango ink around the image panel using my Picket Fence Studio Blending Brushes before layering and adding some brads.  I then took a black artist pen and added some faux sewing around the edges.  The card is stamped using the coffee cup border from Espress Yourself in dusty durango ink.  I then stamped the coffee beans also in dusty durango ink and layered onto a gray card stock scrap before adding my layered image panel popping it up using dimensionals.  I then finished the card off using some copper cord from my stash.
