Time Out #264

This week at Time Out we challenge you to be Magical.

I thought of a lot of different things that can be Magical but I don't have a lot of stamps in those categories.  I did come up with an idea though that looks pretty magical to me.

I started with mushrooms from The Greetery, coloring them with Distress Inks.  Then I went on a hunt for the right gnome and decided on this one from Sugar Pea Designs, coloring him with Altenew artist markers.  Then it was time for scene building.  An inked background, a grass die from Gina Marie and some  'ferns' from MFT  were all I needed to finish off my magical place. 

Picket Fence is our sponsor for this challenge and they are giving the winner a $25 store credit.  The Design Team has made some wonderful cards for your inspiration.  Please check them out and then pull out your magical stamps and enter a card in our gallery.

52 Christmas Card Throwdown 24.7

Hey there!  I'm so glad you dropped by.

This week's theme at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is not quite what I would think of for a Christmas card but a little creativity and die cuts in my stash worked wonders.

The theme was mushrooms so I cut some from The Greetery in white and inked with Kitsch Flamingo and Old Paper Distress Inks.  The gnome is from SSS, inked with Peacock Feathers and the Gina Marie grass is Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn.  To give it a more Christmas feel, I inked the edges with Tumbled Glass before cutting with the C9 coverplate.  The sentiment is from Sugar Pea Designs.  I love the non-traditional Christmas colors which are quickly becoming more traditional for some designers.   

So another Christmas card goes in my box.  With those left over from the end of the year and the ones I've made so far this year I have 20.  I think that's a pretty good start.

Just Us Girls #650 - Color Week

Hey all.  I'm hosting Color Week at Just Us Girls and I hope you'll join us with a card using these colors.

I thought they looked rather Autumnal.

This was an image borrowed from a friend and I didn't write down from whom - either the friend or the stamp company. 😁 It's stamped on Bristol, colored with Zigs, and splattered with black.  After trimming the panel down, I mounted it on orange and then a cream cardbase.  It looks very fairy tale-ish to me. 

Now it's your turn.  Check out what the Design Team and our guest have made to inspire you.  We'd love to see your card in our gallery.
