Stampin' In Alaska

I'm sharing a quick card for a couple of challenges tonight. I started with a digital image from Gerda Steiner called Kitten In Boots. It was printed onto Stampin' Up! Whisper White card stock and colored with Copic Markers then die cut. The Scripture is Scripture Medley 2 from Verve Stamps.  I'm sharing my card with the following: Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes Kraftin' Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday:  Anything Goes Cute Card Thursday:  #488 Anything Goes  Word Art Wednesday:  Anything Goes #292 - 293

I have to admit that the current challenge over at Art Impressions had me a little stumped.  Text only?  What?? That is until I pulled out my coffee themed sets and saw the wonderful sentiments  in both sets!  Usually the sentiment supports the image BUT this week the sentiment is the main focus. My card features sentiments (and image) from  Cathy Caffeine Set and Hot Java Mama. I started by inking a Tim Holtz Splatters stencil with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  The sentiments were  then stamped and finally the image was  stamped onto Copic paper, colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut then adhered to the panel.  A few rhinestones finish the card. Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

It's never an easy task to create a sympathy card. I had this floral image colored and in my crafty stash so I paired it with a sentiment from Sweet 'n Sassy for a quick card. The image is called "You're Too Kind". It was designed by Angie Blom for Unity Stamps. I stamped the image onto water color paper and colored with Tim Holtz Distress Inks. The edges of both the image and sentiment were inked with Versafine Vintage Sepia. It was layered onto paper from the All Abloom Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up!

While looking through my stamp stash last week I came across this adorable stamp set called "Float My Boat" from There She Goes and designed by Torico.  Sadly, TSG closed their shop a few years ago.  Torico is now designing for My Favorite Things and continues to create adorable stamps. The base panel was created with distress inks.  I replaced the banner element in the current SPD sketch with a felt cloud die cut and sun. Thanks for stopping by tonight!

There is a new sketch and color challenge starting over at Your Next Stamp .  I have combined a YNS retired silhouette stamp called Home Sweet Home with a digital Word Art Scripture provided by Ginny Maxam over on the Christian Card Makers FB group .  I really love how well the image and Scripture work together! I recently expanded my Distress Ink collection with these three yummy colors. They were the perfect combination to create a "sunset" sky background for  the silhouette.   Each of the colors were swiped onto a plastic page protector then spritzed with  water.  (I've also used waxed paper) Then the cardstock was placed onto the ink several times until covered and I heat dried the panel to speed up the process.  Finally, I ran the panel  through my HP Photosmart printer to print the digital Scripture and then stamped the silhouette with Versafine ink. Machine stitched borders finished two o...
