All Things Are Possible

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card made from one of the images I colored while my husband was still in the hospital. The stamp set is a retired one from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and is called Whimsical Wishes.  I've had this set for a while and just hadn't used it yet.

 

I started out by coloring the images using Castle Arts Watercolor pencils, and a blender pencil, before stenciling the clouds and grass using Tim Holtz tumbled glass and mowed lawn distress inks before layering and adding some faux brads.  The final touch was adding some green bling to finish it off.

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card made using one of the images I colored while my husband's been in the hospital.  The images are from the Gnome One Like You set from Creative Worship Stamps.  I've had this set for a while and just hadn't used it until now.

 

After stamping the image/saying in memento tuxedo black ink onto white Copic X-press card stock, I colored everything using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I added some flower stems before stenciling my cloud background.  I then dug out my card stock scraps and Martha Stewart floral/butterfly punches to add to my scene.  After adhering some bling to the layered image panel, I added some tiny black dots for the butterflies.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we are sponsoring the challenge.   My card this week uses a retired set Hanging With My Gnomies from My Favorite Things that I received in a friends destash box.  After stamping all of the images, and saying, in memento tuxedo black, I colored them using both prismacolor and copic markers before blending tumbled glass distress ink to fill in the sky.  Brads and ice stickles finish the card off.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out since I'm still dealing with a bad migraine.

Gnome Winter Wishes With Cocoa

 

Hello and welcome.  I finally got this card finished using a set from Sweet N Sassy Stamps called Winter Gnomes. It's currently on sale as it's being retired to their vault.  I love gnomes and I just had to have this set before it retired.

I started out by stamping the main image, sayings using my MISTI before stamping the snowflakes using a small acrylic block.  Once all of the stamping was completed, I colored it using prismacolor and copic markers before stippling some Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink around my colored image to soften the white spots.  I then edged the sides of the main image panel using a red copic marker before layering and adding brads. Dusting off a pad of Debbie Mum Harvest & Holiday designer paper, I selected a couple to use as the background then adhered them to my card base before adhering the layered image panel to the card.  The final touches were some sequin snowflakes and ice stickles to highlight the mug of cocoa and snow on the ground.  I'm very happy with how this card turned out since it's another one of my migraine makes.  It was color or cry and crying just wasn't an option.

Gingerbread Latte Anyone?

 

 

Hello and welcome.  I have another card to share for the Coffee Loving Card Makers 2023 Hop and using an image I colored recently but didn't get it on a card before now.  I just love this cute Gingerbread Latte Gnome digital stamp from The Cat's Pajamas since 1) I totally love gnomes and 2) I see many more opportunities to use it.  

Once my image, and saying, were printed on Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Arts watercolor pencils before stippling Tim Holtz pine needles distress ink around the edges then layered and added brads.  For my card, I pulled out another The Cat's Pajamas clear Freshly Brewed Heaven (retired) stamp set and stamped the large coffee cup repeatedly also in pine needles distress ink.  I then took my Castle Arts gel pens and colored the tree lights and gingerbread cookie before adding punched holly leaves after I ran them through my dusty paper crimper with red liquid pearl "berries".  The final touch was some glittered dew drops from my stash.

Gnome Sweet Gnome

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card using an image I've colored to keep from going crazy over the last few weeks while my husband has been watching the news.  The image is from Impression Obsession and is called Home Sweet Gnome and is part of the Gary Robertson digital line.

I started out by printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock before coloring it using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils.  Once the image was colored, I layered it and added vintage brads before adhering it to a coffee colored card base.  The only other embellishment used was crystal ice stickles and a clear Sakura 3D glaze pen highlighting parts of the images.
