Stampin' In Alaska

  Good morning!  I hope everyone is having a crafty week so far. I'm sharing a fun beach scene featuring an older woodblock stamp from Art Impressions .  I love this series of cute penguins that Bonnie released.  The stamp is dated 2006, but her fabulous images are timeless! I began by stamping the penguin couple then masking to stamp the sunset (1997 Coronado Island Stamping) woodblock stamp.  The scene was ink blended with various distress inks.  The lounging couple was colored with Tombow markers.  The scene was die cut using Unity Stamp Company Postage Stamp Nesting Dies. I hope this card brings a smile to the recipient!  After all, isn't that what our crafty hobby is all about?! I would like to share my project with the following: Art Impressions Challenge - #437 Spread Kindness Woodblock Wednesday Challenge:  September Anything Goes Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes Word Art Wednesday Challenge: #772 - #773 Anyth...

  The current Penny Black Saturday Challenge is On The Farm .  This is an older (2006) wood mount stamp from my stash called Spinning A Yarn.  The image was stamped onto water color paper and colored with Tombow markers.  It was layered onto a variety of designer papers from the Carta Bella Farm to Table paper pad.  A few enamel dots finish the card. I used baker's twine for the ball of yarn with this image a few years ago.  You can see it HERE .

  I'm joining a few challenges with a mixed media design featuring Penny Black Irises wood mount stamp from 2003.  I love the water color effect of the image. I began with water color paper and smooshing several layers of Hero Arts reactive inks.  Acrylic paint was lightly splattered for additional dimension.  Stampin' Up! gems, a die from Stamplorations and gingham bow finish the card.

  I'm joining the current House Mouse Challenge with the Anything Goes theme.  My card features an older House-Mouse Designs (1999) wood mount stamp from Stamp Rosa called Do Re Meow. I stamped the image onto water color paper with Versa Claire ink.  The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil then die cut. The image was layered onto a partial doily, Spellbinder label die (from my stash) and sheet music paper from American Crafts.  I purposely omitted a sentiment to be used for any occasion.  I would like to share my card with the following: House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #423 Anything Goes PIP Challenge #3436 Anything Goes   Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge:  Stamp It Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  4-Legged Friends

  The current challenge at Penny Black Saturday challenge is Bingo.  My card features an older Penny Black wood mounted stamp - Irises 2664L.  It was the perfect image for my mixed media birthday card. The image was stamped onto a Gelli Print book page then framed with CTMH card stock.  The MFT die cut sentiment was cut in black card stock twice for dimension.  A few gems finish the card. I would like to share my card with the following: Penny Black Saturday Challenge:  October AG with Bingo option (Black, Penny Black stamp, Die cuts) Simon Says Stamp Wednesday:  Anything Goes Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge:  #216 Anything Goes  Polkadoodles Craft Challenge:  Week 42 Anything Goes Woodblock Wednesday Challenge:  October Anything Goes
