Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm sharing a "no stamping" card with the current Allsorts challenge to use shades of blue.  It's very rare for me to make cards completely with dies.  The papers are an older Stampin' Up! In-Color combo.  This is my first time using the Bella Bouquet die by Memory Box.  The Kaleidoscope Butterfly die is also Memory Box and the sentiment is from docrafts.  A few coordinating gems finish the card.  I would like to share my card with the following: Allsorts Challenge:  #817 Shades of Blue  PIP Challenge #2507 Anything Goes Lil Patch of Crafty Friends:  #248 Anything Goes Polkadoodles Challenge:  #3 Anything Goes  

  I'm joining the current Share Your Designs Challenge with Gerda Steiner's Moose Love clear set.  This set was a must-have since I live in Anchorage and moose are abundant.  I just love how Gerda drew the surprised expression of the bull moose! I started by coloring the images with Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils then fussy cutting.  They were layered onto cloudy paper from Memory Box.  Memory Box dies Grassland Border and Tall Birch were used to create the scene.  A few heart dies with Stickles applied and sentiment from Hero Arts finish the card. This will be going to my aunt and uncle for their upcoming Anniversary.  They also live in Alaska and often have moose moms and calves visit at their house.  So fun!

  Welcome to a new Anything Goes challenge at Word Art Wednesday. We have another fabulous Scripture Word Art image this week from Karen Murray. As always, you are welcome to save the word art to your computers; but you are never required to use it in order to play along in our challenges or to win. We welcome you to share your all you r art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family-friendly and uses an encouraging or uplifting sentiment. I tried a new-to-me double bridge fold card this week.  I'm including a link to Karens Kardzz YouTube tutorial if you are interested in the process.  I've included a photo which shows the dimension of the card.  It actually lays flat for mailing.  My final card size is 5 x 6.25. I started by sponging a 5x8.25 piece of card stock using a scalloped die and Memento ink.  Lots of dies were used the create the scene and I finished with a deer image from my stash.  The entire scene focuses on this week...
