Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm sneaking in a last minute entry for the April Hero Art Stay Crafty Challenge with ink blending.  My card features the April JoAnn's Make Yourself at Home Hero Arts Card Kit. I started by stamping, embossing then ink blending the Eucalyptus Bold Prints background stamp.  The protea flower image was stamped and layered onto vellum and card stock circle dies.  The bee stamps, sequins and thread finish the card. I would like to share my card with the following: Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero - April Blend It Up Polkadoodles Craft Challenge: Week 17 Anything Goes Gem of A Craft Challenge:  Week 9 Anything Goes Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge:  April Anything Goes    

  I'm joining the current Birthday challenge at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge blog.  The birthday mousey is from the Stampendous Mini set Everyday POPHM53. The image was colored with Tombow markers and layered simply with designer papers from Echo Park Birthday Wishes paper pad.  Sentiments from the same stamp set and a few enamel dots finish the card.

  Spring is in the air here in Alaska!  I'm so happy to see sunny days and flowers coming up. It's a perfect time to join the Art Impressions challenge "Fun with Flowers".  My card features a favorite AI set called His & Hers Gardeners (SCO650) .  Its such a fun set with gardening images and puny sentiments. I came across the fun card fold on Instagram recently.  It's new to me and I love the effect!  Designer papers are from Pebbles Garden Party.  I finished the inside of the card with a sentiment and images from the same AI set.  Of course, the lady gardener was colored with Copic Markers and her apron was paper pieced.
