Stampin' In Alaska

  Beccy's Place released an adorable new digital beach set this month called Beach Bums .   I'm in Alaska where summer is in full swing!  I had so much fun creating both cards. The first design was created by coloring the digital image with Copic Markers and layering onto various papers from Echo Park.  It was finished with a fun coordinating sentiment from the set. The second design started by printing the image and coloring with Copic Markers.  I used the ink smooshing technique for the base panel.  Hero Arts Sand embossing powder was applied to Caramel card stock then ripped into strips for the sand.  I fussy cut the swimmer, added a sun die, sentiment and a couple of real star fish.

  I'm playing along with the Penny Black Saturday Challenge featuring a couple of Penny Black sets - Panoramic 40-814 and Hugs! 30-020. I started by stamping the scene using Panoramic and my Misti.  The card base was created using the ink smooshing technique and water color paper.  The sweet balloon (transport option) and mouse image was stamped, colored and fussy cut then added to the scene.  I really like the scene building images in the PB Panoramic set.  I will be creating with it again soon! I kept the design simple and will add the appropriate sentiment when a card is needed.

  I'm joining the current House Mouse Challenge with the optional scraps. My card features an image from the Stampendous Everyday Mini Clear Set - POPHM53.  The image was colored with Copic Markers and layered onto papers from Stampin' Up!  I finished with twine and a coordinating sentiment.

  Welcome!  The new Word Art Wednesday challenge starts today, and our sponsor is Altenew, who are giving a generous gift of a $15 voucher to their store. My card features a floral set from Altenew called Paint-A-Flower: Spider Mums .  The floral image is huge and the detail is fabulous.  I began stamping the image onto watercolor paper with versamark then heat embossing in white.  I then used the ink smooshing technique followed by watercolor of the flowers. I finished the card simply with a black mat, sentiment and a few Stampin' Up! rhinestones.  This is not my typical style, but I will definitely try this again. This week's free Word Art Scripture is available for your use.  The challenge is always anything goes with a family friendly theme.  You can enter up to 5 times each week.  We are always excited to see your creations!

  I'm joining the current challenge at House Mouse and Friends with the option of Naughty.  Although "mudpie" looks full and satisfied... he better not get into my strawberry bed! This is an older House-Mouse Designs wood stamp from 1999 called Sleeping with Strawberries.  The image was colored with alcohol markers and die cut to fit the 6x3 slimline card size.  I layered it onto designer papers from Carta Bella.  A summer sentiment completes the card from Unity Stamp Company.
