Stampin' In Alaska

  Happy 34th Anniversary to Art Impressions Stamps!  Bonnie and the AI team have been around a very long time.  Their quality stamps, creative designs and customer service make them stand out in the industry. I celebrated with Art Impressions Anniversary sale and received this adorable Farm Pig free with my order this week.  I couldn't wait to ink and color this sweetie!  The image was stamped onto kraft cardstock and colored with Prismacolor pencils. My one-layer CAS design includes the One Inch Strip and the optional colored cardbase for the current AAA Cards CAS Game .  I would like to share my card with the following: Art Impressions Challenge #310 Lions, Tigers, Bears Oh My!   AAA Cards Game #197 One Inch Strip + Colored Cardbase Simon Says Stamp Wednesday:  Anything Goes    

  I'm joining the current challenge at Create A Smile with a fun birthday card.  My card features the adorable Nanu clear stamp set and Splotch stencil from Create A Smile. The adorable moose image was stamped onto water color paper and colored with Tombow markers.  Several Hero Art inks were used with the stencil.  The panel was layered onto Stampin' Up! Pacific Point cardstock and an SU scallop border punch finished the edge.  The birthday sentiment is from Gerda Steiner.

  I'm joining Mo's Summer Fun challenge with a favorite summer past time - Fishing!  I have several fishermen in my family and I love Mo's Fishing image. The image was printed onto Stampin' Up! Whisper White card stock and colored with Copic Markers.   I masked and sponged the cloudy background with distress inks.  A waves stencil from MFT was used for the water. I couldn't resist adding the fish image from Art Impressions.  Don't you love his expression?!  I finished with a birthday sentiment from AI and button embellishments from my stash.

  I'm playing along with the August Mix it Up Challenge at SugarPea Designs.  My card features the adorable Hey Fall set and Birch Forest Cut Away.   The images were stamped onto water color paper and colored with Tombow markers.  Designer papers are from SugarPea Happy Camper paper pad.  A few enamel dots and sentiment finish the card.

  I'm playing along with the current sketch and slimline challenges at My Favorite Things.  I pulled out Birdie Brown's Sweater Weather in the Woods set for a Fall themed slimline design. The fun critters were stamped onto water color paper and colored with Tombow markers.  The card base was masked and inked with several distress inks for the cloudy sky.  I layered the MFT Farm Fence die and Sugar Pea birch die to complete the scene.

  I'm playing along with the new Di's Digi Challenge - Pick 2 or more (ribbon, bling, pearls, die cut(s)/punch, flowers, button, lace).  My card features the adorable Poorly Pals digital image. The image was colored with Copic Markers.  I've included several die cuts and rhinestone bling for my "Pick 2".  A Get Well sentiment from MFT completes the card.

  I'm joining the current challenge at Beccy's Place with a Get Well card featuring the August Peony freebie image.  I've also taken the optional Flip-A-Coin Challenge this month and included embossing. I love how quickly this came together with the pre-colored image.  Several scraps from American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neapolitan pad were layered onto an embossed panel using the Paper Studio.  A few Hero Arts gems finish the card.
