Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the current House Mouse and Friends Challenge with a brightly colored laundry scene!  I recently received the new release from Stampendous called Doing Laundry.  I LOVE this sweet spring scene ... hanging laundry is something that I still do! The image was colored with Alcohol inks. I masked the cloudy sky with a scallop die and sponged with Memento ink.  A sentiment from Memory Box finishes the card. I would like to share my card with the following:  HMFMC #334 Anything Goes + option of Bright Cheerful Colors   Word Art Wednesday:  Anything Goes #479 - #480    Aud Sentiments:  #269 Spring + A Sentiment Simon Says Stamp Wednesday:  Anything Goes  

  Hero Arts recently released their 2021 Catalogue products.  I saw a sneak peek of the new Lily Pond HeroScape and it went onto on Wish List!   I love how you can easily create a fun scene with all of the HeroScape sets.  This one is no exception! I started by creating a blended distress ink "sky" base panel.  I used my Misti to create the lily pond scene. Various Tim Holtz distress inks were used:  Mermaid Lagoon for the water, Mowed Lawn & Forest Moss for the lily pads, Memento Lulu Lavender and Lilac Posies for the flowers.

  I recently came across some older Gina K. stamp sets in my craft room.   One of my crafty goals for the year is to use my older images in a new way.  The images and sentiments in the Sent With Love StampTV Kit are perfect for the February Challenge - Love in the Air. I started by blending distress inks then heat embossed the floral image.  A few sequins and a coordinating sentiment finish the card. This will be going to my aunt and uncle who are celebrating 50 plus years of marriage this month!  Big Congrats! I would like to share my card with the following: Gina K.

  I couldn't resist creating one more card for the current AAA Cards challenge - One Corner + a scene.  I came across this older set from Stampin' Up called Scene in A Garden.  The little row of rubber boots is so adorable.   One of my favorite techniques is coloring with my Prismacolor pencils on kraft card stock.  In keeping with the CAS theme, I kept my one layer card very clean and simple with a fun stenciled background.

  I'm joining the current challenge at Di's Digi which is to include one or more hearts. My card features a freebie that Di offered called Gday Izzy.  It was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut. A Tim Holtz Falling Hearts die was used with Stampin' Up Flirty Flamingo for the card base panel.  I placed a sheet of light turquoise glimmer foil behind the panel for shimmer.  A sentiment from Hero Arts and a circle die from my stash finish the card.
