Stampin' In Alaska

I'm joining the December Share Your Designs Challenge at Gerda Steiner with this sweet Dachshund in Love digital stamp.   I started by coloring the digital stamped image with Copic Markers. Highlights were added to the dog with Prismacolor pencils.  The image was fussy cut and adhered to designer papers from Basic Grey's Sugar Rush paper pad.  A little bakers twine was added to "hold" the balloon.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts. Thanks for stopping by!  I had so much fun playing with this sweet image.

I'm joining the current Anything Goes challenge at Your Next Stamp with this fun birthday shaker card.  I pulled out one of my favorite YNS sets - Aquarium Antics and the coordinating dies to create this card. I started by stamping and coloring the image on a white card stock base.  I chose a coordinating designer paper and used the fish bowl die cut to make my shaker window.  I then adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the paper, layered it over dimension tape onto the stamped image with glass beads.  FUN!  and easy. The card was finished with a birthday sentiment from YNS Keepin' it Reel set.  The fish food image was stamped onto watercolor paper, colored with Tombow markers and die cut. Thanks for taking the time to stop by!  I hope everyone gets a little creative time this weekend.

A few weeks ago I was the lucky winner of the MFT Sketch challenge.  I was SO excited when  sneak peeks began for the new Birdie Brown Friends at First Sip stamp set. I knew this set is what I would be using my MTF prize to buy! The current sketch challenge was perfect for this sweet pup and coffee cup.  Both images were stamped onto water color paper and colored with Tombow markers. The designer paper is from the DCWV Playful Pets mat stack.  The images were die cut with the coordinating MFT dies then adhered to the base with dimensional tape.  Super easy!

I'm sneaking in a last minute entry for the current Anything Goes Challenge at Art Impressions.  I've seen some super fun creations with the Sally Swimmer set .  So, I ordered this retired set (and many others) during the recent AI sale.  I started by sponging the sky and sand with Memento inks.  A black panel was layered then palm tree dies from Gina Marie Designs were added, along with, Sally Swimmer on dimensional tape.  The coordinating sentiment finishes the card.  Of course, the stamped image was colored with Copic Markers.
