Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the current challenge at Art Impressions with a fun, relaxing water scene.  My card features the AI clear set Reel Great Guys 4900.  I haven't used this set for awhile and the cute pup looks so relaxed.  What a perfect image for any birthday wish! The base panel was stenciled using distress inks and Hero Arts Water Flow Slimline stencil.  I colored the image was Copic Markers and fussy cut.  I die cut the sun and clouds using a Spellbinders mini set and lightly inked the edges. I've used the current MFT sketch again for my water scene. The card was finished with a few gems and a wood mounted sentiment from A Muse.  I would like to share my card with the following: Art Impressions Challenge: Oceans of Fun (water) Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #582 Simon Says Monday Challenge:  Use at Least One Stencil     

  I'm back in the craft room after a much needed winter break!  We took a few days to visit Cancun Mexico.  The sun, warm weather and ocean were so relaxing!   Today I created a fun ocean scene for the sketch and color challenges at My Favorite Things.  My card features the adorable Best Catch Ever CS-575 . The whale image was colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut.  The background was created by inking a Hero Arts bubble background stamp with distress ink then spritzing with water.  I then stamped onto water color paper and let dry.  Love the fun effect! Papers and sentiment are from MFT.  A few gems finish the card.

  This month is all about Love, Hugs, Hearts and Friendship!  I'm joining PBSC with a sweet mousey couple from Penny Black's transparent set Hugs! #30-020 . The image was colored with Copic Markers.  I created a heart stencil using using a Recollections cutting plate.  The hearts were sponged with Memento Red Rose ink. A couple of small sentiments and rhinestones finish the card.

  February is all about hearts!  I'm sharing heart themed card for the current Art Impressions challenge featuring Love Thing Set - 4752 . The sweet couple was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  Using the negative from a heart die cut, I sponged distress ink then spritzed with water.  A paint brush and liquid distress ink was used to splatter the background. A coordinating sentiment from the set and gems finish the card.

  I'm joining the February Anything Goes Challenge at Beccy's Place with a bookmark.  Beccy's adorable Birdhouse and Vines freebie image worked perfectly for the bookmark. The digital image was colored with Copic Markers and die cut with a Spellbinder Long Classic Rectangles die.  A few bird dies were added from Memory Box Resting Birds.  I finished with a tassel made from various funky fibers in my stash. Beccy's challenge is always Anything Goes with an Option.  This month she asked us to include something from our local area.  Although Alaska is still experiencing snow and winter weather I am dreaming of the flowers and birds that we get to enjoy during our brief summer months!

  I am having so much fun with the new Celebrate Everything Card Kit from My Favorite Things !  I create and send a lot of birthday cards throughout the year.  This set is great when you don't feel like coloring and need a quick (cute) card. Of course, the balloons were created with the Balloon Builder die.  I've used Moroccan Spice and Caribbean Sea card stock from the kit.  The sentiment comes from the coordinating stamp set.
