Hi, I hope everyone is having a Grrreat day!  My project today features the Wild About Pumpkin Spice Latte digi set from Sunsational Stamps that you can access Here.

Wild About Pumpkin Spice Latte card

I colored this adorable tiger and his pumpkin spice latte with Copic markers.  The background was made by sponging on my two go-to Distress Oxide colors, Broken China and Cracked Pistachio.  I then spritzed it with some Perfect Pearls mist.  (Side note:  I accidentally spritzed EVERYTHING on my work surface EXCEPT the background when my nozzle got turned around, sigh…)  Anyway, back  to the project… I added some Doodlebug Fall Leaves Washi tape to the bottom to ground my little tiger and mounted this onto a black mat, that then was mounted onto a piece of Doodlebug Kraft/color cardstock and then the whole shebang was mounted onto the flip side of the Doodlebug kraft/color cardstock and added to the card base.  Finally I popped my critter onto the shimmery background, added the sentiment and voila!

Creativity Takes Courage

Hello, I decided to get inky today and play with my new Distress Oxide inks.  I needed a masculine thank you card for someone who is an artist…talk about pressure!  I was nervous, but in the end I am happy with the results.

Creativity Takes Courage Card

I rubbed various colors of Distress Oxide ink; Vintage Photo, Fossilized Amber, Fired Brick & Cracked Pistachio onto my craft mat and spritzed with a little water.  I mixed the Fossilized Amber and Fired Brick together to add an orange to my brown and yellow palette.  I took a piece of watercolor paper and dipped it in the various colors, drying with my heat gun in between each layer.  I added a small amount of Cracked Pistachio as the last layer  to give a patina look.  On the sentiment, which is the Tim Holtz Small Talk stickers, I sponged on Vintage Photo and Cracked Pistachio before adding them to the card.

Next up I dug out my newsprint background stamp by Justrite Stamp Co and a couple of small Tim Holtz stamps.  I used Walnut Stain, Black Soot and Tea Dye for my random background print.

I added jewelry cording around the card and attached it in three places with my stapler. I added a vintage button from a Cosmo Cricket embellie set.  The button was shiny, so I sanded it down and sponged on some Tea Dye Distress ink before adding it to the card.  Because of its weight and bulkiness I actually stitched it to the watercolor panel to give it added stability.  I used foam tape to mount all this onto a black mat and a brown card base.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card.  Please follow our blog by clicking on the ‘Follow Me’ button, like us on Instagram and Like us on Facebook so you don’t miss a thing!

Alcohol Marker, Cracked Pistachio, Distress Oxide Ink, Salty Ocean, Wink of Stella, YNS Challenge 68, Your Next Stamp

Just popping in for a quick card I made today.  I used the adorable YNS Bitty Bugs for the YNS Challenge #68 (that link takes you right there!)  I went with the color challenge with my card.  The background is my Distress Oxide Inks in Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio…and I spattered it with water, that is the fun part!

Bitty Bugs Card

Close-up of the cute little bugs

I cut the clouds using the Spring Showers Lawn Cuts by Lawn Fawn and the grass border is also Lawn Fawn (I think…)  I colored these adorable bugs with my alcohol markers, stamped the sentiment inside one of my clouds, added Wink of Stella on the insect wings and called it complete!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out Your Next Stamp blog, they have some great inspiration!
