Color Hues #99

Today's post is for the Color Hues challenge and Marcia's pick of pink and aqua.  Congratulations to my friend Bonnie who is their newest design team member.  


I got the Waffle Flower Winter Fun set last year and colored up a few of the images with my Altenew artist markers.  The little girl in pink inspired me to use the set for the challenge.  All I had to do was stamp another skater to color in aqua.  For the river I used the Mountains stencil from PFS with Salvaged Patina DOX ink then masked it off and used what was left on my pink brush to make the sky.  For interest I put them inside of Penny Black's Classy Frames, stacking the outside 3 times.  The sentiment is from Stampendous.  Now I just need to make another card with the rest of the already colored images.

Thanks for dropping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #662

The sketch at Freshly Made Sketches left a wide open space for designing and I had just the thing to fill it.

The Season's Greeting Evergreens press plate from Spellbinders.   I pressed them with Altenew Mountain Pine on PTI paper.  The panel was cut apart and stacked three high on C9 Evergreen cardstock with the sentiment from Hero Arts stamped on the bottom in the same ink.  This was actually my second card.  The first was with BetterPress ink on their cotton paper. 

I only have a few BetterPress inks so this card was done with black, adding strips of black glitter paper to the panel as well as a silver heat embossed the sentiment.  Neither the glitter nor the silver show up well in the photo.

Thanks for dropping by.

Just Us Girls #753 - Word Week

Sue is our host for Word Week at Just Us Girls and this is what she chose

My friend Loll made a number of cards using the Immense Joy die from Penny Black and they were so creative and JOYous that I had to have the die.  I used it for my card today.


I had bought a few PB stamps recently when a gentleman was selling out his supply and while they were older products I didn't have them.  This darling elf was one of them.  He was stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Distress Inks.  The JOY was also watercolored. I plan to do a few more of these with different images.

The Design Team and our guest Jenn have cards they made expressing Joy.  Please check them out and then make a card for our challenge.  We'd love to see your card in our gallery.

Inkspirational #328

I have another card made with the PFS ornaments that had been colored last year.  This one is for Inkspirational - Layer It!


The gray background was embossed with Spellbinders Evergreen and Penny Black's Classy Frames layered onto it three times with the top one in silver.  The center was inserted back in for a backdrop for the ornaments and the branch from TH.  The silver embossed sentiment from PFS is also layered for dimension. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope your week goes well.
