Stampin' In Alaska

  While cleaning my craft room yesterday I came across a few panels in my stash that were colored.  This features a digital stamp from a company who is no longer in business - Craftin Desert Divas.  It is always sad when a craft company goes out of business.  But I still enjoy using their great products! This image was colored with Copic Markers and die cut.  The designer paper was also in my stash.  A few pearls and digital sentiment complete the card. I would like to share my card with the following: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday:  Focus on the Sentiment Allsorts Challenge:  #828 Pretty Flowers Stamping Sensations:  Summer Flowers Polkadoodles Challenge:  #8 Anything Goes

  I'm sharing a fun mousey card featuring House Mouse Designs Breezy Day stamp  set by Spellbinders. The image was stamped onto watercolor paper, colored with Prisma Color pencils and blended with baby oil.  A cloudy sky was created by masking and inking with distress inks.  The card base was created with acrylic paint and my Geli plate.  A few Stampin' Up! dew drops and coordinating sentiment complete the card.

  Happy Friday!  I hope everyone gets a little crafty time this weekend. I'm joining the current challenge at Di's Digi -  Animals Acting Like Humans . There are so many fun images in Di's Etsy Shop that are perfect for this week's theme.  I was a recent challenge winner at Di's and chose this cutie called Buddy in the Garden .  Be sure to check him out while he's on sale! My card was printed onto X-Press It card stock and colored with Copic Markers.  I tried a "new to me" technique by using various brown ink and randomly applying it in dots.  In retrospect, I should have used a darker base color.  But live and learn! The image was die cut with Spellbinders Petite Large Oval and layered onto an oval lacey cross stitch cloth.  It has been sitting on my craft desk for months waiting for the right project!  A few paper flowers and Stampin' Up Designer Paper finish the card. BTW- I'm searching for a new photo editing program.  This pho...
