Merry Christmas and A Ginger

Happy Wednesday!

 

It's my day over at Get Inky Stamps. 

 

For my project, I created a Christmas card, using Blue Moon's Holiday 2013 Stamp set. 

 

 

I used a Silhouette file for the base of the card (the gingerbreak pop out).

 

Once the pieces were cut and assembled, I stamped the front with a star, from the Holiday stamp set, in Versamark Ink. 

The gingerbread man on the front of the card was stamped on Kraft cardstock, hand cut, and embellished with Liquid Applique. 

 

The inside of the card, was embellished with Stickles, of course. 

 

 

 

And once the Stickles were dry, Merry Christmas (also from the stamp set) was stamped, colored with white gel pen and Frosted Lace Stickles. 

 

My daughter saw the card and immediately took possession of it to give to her friend. 

How sweet is that? 

 

 

 

 



 

Happy Fall, Y'all

 



Happy Tuesday!!

 

 

I was updating our budget recently and noticed that it's just about time to start thinking about school supplies, fees, and clothing. And that means, here in Wisconsin, that fall is rapidly approaching. Now, I am not in the mood to start decorating with pumpkins and gourds. Well, I can't, or my hubby would give me the look. You know the one, don't you? So, I am channeling that energy into my creations. Best of both worlds, I must say.

 

 

Isn't it just darling? :-)

 

I created this cutie for the Peachy Challenge Sketch challenge.  The sketch was a square, but squares are not my 'thing.'  So I used a tradtional card shape. 

 

 

 

The focus of my creation is the scarecrow.  He's from the PKSC-09 stamp set.  I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo black.  He was colored with Copics.  

 

Recently, I was able to attend a Copics Workshop.  Since then I have been coloring everything I can.  Most of my projects will probably have some sort of colored image on it, until I work the excitement out of my system. 

 

The sentiment for my card is from SY-907 stamp set.  I think it fits this image perfectly.
