Layered Lily

Hello Crafty Friends, Happy Tuesday to you!  The Card of the Day features lovely Lily Blooms, layered ink stamping and die cutting.

I started my card with stamping the Layered Lily from Altenew using inks from Catherine Pooler.  I die cut and set aside to work on the card base.  I created a frame using Stitched Rectangle Dies from Kat Scrappiness and using papers from the American Crafts Everyday 6x6 paper pad, I layered a piece of vellum over the patterned paper, then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment.  The sentiment is also from the stamp set.

Lastly, added Peridot Faux Gems for added interest and shine, I called this card complete.  Thanks for stopping by today and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Stella Says Sketch - Birthday Fishes

Hello my Crafty Friends!  Today begins a new Sketch Challenge at Bugaboo Stamps Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.  The sketch for the next 2 weeks is:

For my design team project, I used the sketch as inspiration to create a 5.5" square Birthday Card using the Make It Snappy Birthday Fishes image.  

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and mounted on a die cut Tag.  I also die cut Balloons, colored with alcohol markers and added Wink of Stella along with Judi Kins Diamond Glaze so they would have dimension, sparkle and shine.  The Image and Balloons are mounted on foam pads, the papers are from the American Crafts Everyday 6x6 paper pad and the additional sentiment is from a CTMH Petite Perks Treat Youself Stamp Set.

Please stop by Catch the Bug and join in the Sketch challenge this round!  Hope to see you there.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

April Showers Promise

Hello and Happy Monday!  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies with a theme of Anything Goes.  The sponsor this week is Jan's Digital Stamps and I had the pleasure of using an image from the April Showers Promise digital pack.

This is a gorgeous image and was fun to color.  I went crazy with a Spring Theme and lots of cheerful Yellow.  The Wellies set the tone and I went with it!  I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, designer papers from the American Crafts "Everyday" 6x6 paper pad, sentiment from the new Spellbinders "Wonderful Spring" Stamp Set and card candy dots from my stash.

Please join us the week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and enter your creation for a chance to win a prize from Jan's Digial Stamps.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Bev the Barmaid Cheers to 2021

 Hello and Happy Tuesday!  Today is a quick post sharing another New Year's card I created to welcome in 2021.  It features Bev the Barmaid from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.

My card measures 5" square and the designer papers are from the American Crafts "Everyday" 6x6 paper pad. The gold mirror card was from my stash (I have loads I keep for holiday crafts), I colored the image using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, and added gold faux gems for a final design element.  It appears Bev is serving up a strong lager! 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
