2023 Challenge

Anything Goes

or the optional theme-

'Christmas'

These use the PB embossing folder for the background. One elf stamped in a light tan ink for a no line effect and one stamped with black ink. 

These use the glitter cardstock for the background

Snowflake Stitch Frames

Penny Black Encircle embossing folder

Penny Black Merry Up Sentiment

Little Elf Present

Simon Says Rainbow Glitter Cardstock

I had fun making several of these little elf cards.  There are several little elves in this stamp series. This one is a bit older and a little tricky to find now-but its a newbie for me. 

I started out fussing cutting this image, but because I was making multiples I thought the heck with this! The rest were cut out with my Scan N Cut.  It had a bit of a time cutting it as it is such a complicated image. I finally got 7 elves colored and cut out. I only made 2 glitter cards because that's all I had-so the others I used SU! green and red cardstock. I forgot how nice that is for card bases!

I used the snowflake frame and added some  luscious Simon Says Stamps rainbow glitter paper behind the frame. I colored my cute little elf with copics and added it on pop dots as well as the embossed sentiment.

Merry Christmas!

For my card today I put this little meece inside a fun snow globe.

I cut out my image with my Scan N Cut and cut out the snow globe with my Silhouette. The sentiment comes with the house mouse stamp. I cut it out using a My Favorite Things sentiment strip die. The pretty red glitter paper is a fun new purchase from Simon Says.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

#403

ANYTHING GOES

with the option theme of 

Use Snow

Drummer Mouse

Welcome to a new House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge!

I couldn't find my envelope that had my rectangle cutting dies and I needed to get on with business so here we go with a sweet oval card instead! 

I used the cute new Drummer Mouse stamp, colored with copics and added some fun Trinity Stamps vanilla sugar snowflakes. I finished my oval snow scene with some glitter snow.

LOL Oh my trials and tribulations of stamping these days. I had everything all finished and needed to stamp the sentiment...and do you think I could find it? I mean I literally did not move an inch from my crafting area and the dang little clear cling stamp up and got lost. How does that happen?  Well I found my cute Paper Smooches sentiment (stamped in SU! red) on the floor under my chair and also my dies after everything was all done. I think I have gremlins hanging around driving me crazy! Oh well, happy stamping. I do hope you will join in our challenge!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge-ATG or Glitter

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

November Inspiration

2023 Challenge

Anything Goes

or the optional theme-

'Glitter and Glitz'

Cozy Cabin

and

Frosty Hello

I'm coming in sideways and just a bit late for the challenge post, but here I am!

I had this card in mind, but I really struggled with the watercoloring of the cabin.  I used Tombow markers for my color medium.  I just don't have the knack of direct coloring on stamps down yet. I keep on trying because it is such a pretty effect. My poor cabin looks like it's about to fall down LOL.

I colored directly on the stamp and added a bit of  misting before stamping on my watercolor paper. It looked too mushy for my liking so I did some coloring right on the trees and cabin to sharpen it up a bit. Maybe I got carried away because then it looked too sharp-so I went over with a wet brush again. Goodness.... Practice, Practice, Practice. I do love the pretty sentiment!
