Stampin' In Alaska

I'm joining the sketch and color challenges at My Favorite Things with this fun Birthday card.  My card features the MFT Turntable Die-namics, For the Record stamp set and Musical Notes Die-namics. I started by cutting all of the pieces from the Turntable die set with my Cuttlebug.  The base panel was splattered with pink acrylic ink using a toothbrush.  I cut the Musical Notes Die-namics in colors of card stock required by the current color challenge.  These sets are perfect together and so much fun!  This will be going out to my niece next month for her 9th Birthday.

I have recently rediscovered Hero Arts and I'm having SO much fun!  Did you know that Hero Arts is celebrating their 45th Anniversary this year??!! Is that awesome or what? I decided to join the fun by combining the current Clean and Simple challenge with an older wood mount rubber silhouette image called It's a Parade G5469 and Enjoy Your Birthday C2770. I started by masking an area with post it notes then sponging distress inks.  After spritzing the ink with water and allowing to dry, I stamped the silhouette and sentiment stamps with Versafine Claire black ink.  The card was finished with a few sequins and mounting onto Stampin' Up! Night of Navy card stock.  This card will be going to the April Cards for a Cause organization - Hospice of St. Francis.

If you love floral images you are going to LOVE the creations by Power Poppy!  I found them late last year and immediately had to purchase the detailed images.  I purchased the Daffodil Bouquet last week during one of their fabulous sales.   The image was printed onto Stampin' Up! Whisper White card stock then colored with Copic markers.  I kept the card very clean to focus on the beautiful bouquet.  Card stock layers and a Mother's Day die from Lawn Fawn embellish the focal image.

This week's sketch challenge at My Favorite Things was perfect for my newest Pure Innocence purchase - A Phone Call Away (Retired). I started by stamping the PI image onto Copic paper with the MFT Hybrid black licorice ink.  The image was colored with Copic markers then die cut and layered onto designer paper from Pink Paislee Switchboard paper pad. I finished the card with coordinating sentiments from the MFT set and enamel dots.  A machine stitched border adds a little texture. The Pure Innocence image reminds me of my niece.  Here's a photo of her a few years ago with the same pigtails.  So cute! Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!  I always enjoy reading your comments.

I'm joining the current Fun Friday Challenge at Your Next Stamp with this Clean and Simple design.  My card features the adorable YNS Perk Up clear stamp set.  I love the fun coffee themed whimsical images and coordinating sentiments in this set! I started by stamping the coffee cup images onto Stampin' Up! Whisper White card stock then colored with Alcohol markers.  Memento Dandelion ink was sponged for the partial background.  A thin strip of SU Basic Black was applied.   I finished the card with a coordinating sentiment from the set and a few YNS Gumdrops.  I love how quickly this came together!  It will also be easy to mail to one of my coffee loving friends.

I'm joining the April Mix It Up Challenge at SugarPea Designs with this quick birthday card.  I just love the sweet Quackers set from SugarPea Designs.  I think the ducks are adorable peeking out of the corner of this design. The images were colored with Copic Markers.  I thought a cloudy sky paper would be fun for the diagonal panel.  I found this in the Echo Park Summer Party paper pad.  A coordinating sentiment, birthday die cut and enamel dots finish the card.

I'm joining the current Gerda Steiner Share Your Designs Challenge with this adorable Gerda Steiner Tulip Bunny Digital set.
