She Needed A Hero

Hello everyone, today I made a card for my sister-in-law, who is battling cancer.  I send her cards quite often to lift her spirits.  The card today was also my Design Team submission for Creative With Stamps Challenge.  November’s challenge is “Feathers“.  I have wanted to use this fabulous stamp set I received from Unity Stamps named Her Own Hero.  This sentiment is so wonderful to honor any lady that is fighting any type of personal fight.

She Needed a Hero

I stamped the feather stamp in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I then watercolored the feathers and the background using ZIG Clean Color Brush markers and a water brush.  I spritzed the watercolor panel with Perfect Pearls mixed in water to give the design some sparkle.  I mounted the watercolor paper panel onto a black mat and mounted that onto a white card base.

I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, popped it up with foam tape and added Doodlebug enamel dots and called it done!

Happy Summer greetings!  The August theme for our Creative With Stamps Challenge is Father, so I am posting an easel card that could be used as a birthday or Father’s Day card.  I also tucked a gift card for our local Golf Course inside this card so Dad could enjoy a couple of rounds of golf. 🙂

I used Newton’s Nook Winston’s Tee Time set.  I colored the images with alcohol ink and fussy cut them out.  I do not have the dies, but the images aren’t too difficult to fussy cut.

I used Lawn Fawn Lawn Cuts for the grassy border and the cloud border.  I raised the grassy border a bit so the card would sit nicely tucked slightly into the grass.

What’s Up Dog – Cute Critters Challenge Theme

Creative With Stamps Challenge, My Favorite Things

What’s Up?  Today at Creative With Stamps Challenge Blog we have come up with inspiration using the theme of Cute Animals…and in my book, there is no cuter animal than a dog.  🙂

I used the Lucky Dog stamp set from My Favorite Things.  I colored the pup with alcohol markers and die cut both the pieces (I love this particular dog, because he can be peeking over a fence or out a window or just about anything where you can see his front and back).  I wanted to add some patterned paper to the inside-front to make it look like wallpaper.

On the front panel I embossed red cardstock to give the appearance of a brick home, I die cut out a small window and popped his little head there to peek out, as you can see he has dropped his ball in the grass below.  😦

Just a super simple and fun card for a friend’s birthday.  Please follow the link Here to the Creative With Stamps blog so you can play along with our challenge, remember you can enter anything with a cute animal and there are prizes!

Mom, You Are Pure Sunshine

AALL & Create, Close To My Heart, Creative With Stamps Challenge, CTMH, Lawn Fawn

Sunny greetings to all, today is our post for the Creative With Stamps Challenge for May, where the theme is MOM.  In the month of May here in the United States we celebrate Mother’s Day and the start (at least this year) of the more summery weather and sunshine.  That is why I had to use the beautiful stamp set by AALL and Create Stamp Set #37, which reminded me very much of the sun or a flower.  It is a beautiful Zentangle style design.  The set has a circle/spiral filled with all sorts of pretty doodles and there are extra stamps in the set as well.  There is a cloud that also resembles a crown (ideas floating around in my head), leaves, scalloped arcs, striped arcs and bubbles.  I won this and three other fabulous sets that I will feature in the near future.

I stamped it in VersaMark clear ink and heat set it using my antique gold embossing powder.  I had a blast watercoloring it in with my Distress markers and water brush.  I added a hillside using my Lawn Fawn Stitched Landscape die.  I wanted to make it look like the sun was rising from behind the hill, but I didn’t want to hide too much of that gorgeous design.  In addition to some embossed clouds that I had stamped from the stamp set, I also stenciled on additional cloud formations.  I popped up the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment which is from a very old Close To My Heart set and mounted it all onto a medium blue card base.

Please head on over to the Creative With Stamps Challenge to get some inspiration and we would love to have you participate, so enter your Mom themed cards!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card, thank you for stopping by, please follow our blog by clicking on the “Follow Me” button and Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram so you don’t miss a thing!
