Stampin' In Alaska

I haven't gotten a chance to join the SugarPea challenge for a few weeks.  I decided this month's sketch was perfect for a clean and simple masculine birthday card.   I had a lot of fun with the Easily A'Moose'd set from SugarPea.  The moose image was stamped onto watercolor paper and colored with Tombow markers then blended.  I'm sharing my card with the following: SugarPea Designs Mix It Up:  Challenge #40   Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes Word Art Wednesday:  #324-#325 Anything Goes Repeat Impressions Anything Goes Challenge ~ F2818   

I'm stopping by with a fun masculine birthday card for the current Anything Goes challenge at Art Impressions .  I can't believe it, but this is my first time inking up the adorable new Reel Great Guys Set.  It's perfect for the fishermen in my family! The image was stamped onto watercolor paper with Memento ink.  It was colored with Tombow markers and a blender pen.  The fish image was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  Designer papers are from Carta Bella.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  I'm stopping by to share a sweet Spring card for the Monthly Challenge hosted by Gerda Steiner .  This month's image is called Spring Bunny Friends.   You still have time to join the fun!   My card started by merging the image with Gerda Steiner's Tulip Bunny image to create my Spring scene.   The clouds and grass were sponged with Memento inks.  The scene was colored with Copic Markers and white gel pen highlights were added.   I pulled out my Hello Sunshine paper pad by Doodlebug for the coordinating Spring designer papers.  I love how these papers really made the Bunny scene pop! The card was finished simply with a grosgrain ribbon bow. Thanks for stopping by and taking a closer look!
