Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the current House-Mouse & Friends challenge with a fun birthday card.  My card features an older woodblock House-Mouse Designs stamp called Gouda Wish. The image was colored with Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils.  It is a very large image and was die cut with a wonky stitched die and layered onto Colorbok polkadot paper.  The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! hostess set called Express Yourself.

  I'm joining the current challenge at Di's Digi Stamps Challenge blog.  The current theme is Elaborate Embellishments.  My card features Di's adorable Sunflower Racoon digital image.  The image was printed onto X-Press It card stock, colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  It was layered onto Daisy D designer papers from my stash.  A Hero Arts sentiment, gingham ribbon and sunflower embellishments finish the card.

  I'm sharing a fun rocker card for the current challenge at Art Impressions.  The theme is "Farm Fresh" so I pulled out a fun chicken couple from the AI retired Bird-Brains line called Dancing Birdie & Scratch (U1831). The chicken couple was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  The rocking base started with a large circle die and simply folded in half with a smaller circle of designer paper.  A couple of music note die cuts, sentiment and jute bow finish the card. This will be going to a college friend and her husband for their upcoming wedding anniversary.

  I'm joining the September challenge at Beccy's Place with her September digital release Barnyard Birthdays.   I merged two of the barnyard critters with a digital farmyard image from DigiStamps4Joy who is no longer in business. The barnyard scene was colored with Copic Markers.  I sponged the sky and grass with Memento inks.  Designer papers are from Doodlebug Designs Down on the Farm paper pad.  I omitted a sentiment from my scene, but the sentiments in this set are perfect.
