Grand Adventure

 Masculine card for my nephew, I haven't done any water coloring in quite sometime so I thought I would do that with this image, I used my  Spectrum Aqua markers but used some of my sparkle pen for the water. I colored the frame with an alcohol marker.

• Northwoods - 2007 stamp,  water colored w/ spectrum aqua markers and sparkle pen for the water
• Simple stories - Generation paper
• Memory Box - Fresh Foliage die
• Tim Holtz - Metallic sticker book, sentiment

New Home

 Our Pastor recently bought a new home, it is gray so I had to spotlight one of them the color of their home. I first stamped grass at the bottom and then filled in the area with some inking and then took the cloud stencil for the background, adding a few stamped birds, sentiment and stamped tree, cut out the frame and made it into a shaped card, added the houses and to end it added the vine frame to finish it off.

• Poppystamps - Brevilla Houses die
• Memory Box - Twirling vine frame and Debutante frame dies
• D.R.S. Designs - easy grass background stamp
• My Favorite Things - Cloud stencil
• Inkadinkado - Silhouettes tree stamp
• Stampendous - Meadows edge pcs. (bird and sentiment stamp)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Merry Christmas

 I have a few more Christmas cards to share today.

Wishing you all that celebrate a very Merry Christmas.

I find a sentiment I like and I put it in all my Christmas cards that year, this was this years sentiment.

May the Joy

And Peace

That were present

At the birth of Christ

Be present in your

Home this Season.

 

• 49 and Market - Christmas Spectacular 2023 Ephemera Bits
• Inking for background with lumber Jack plaid ink

My second one I layered red behind the tree, after thinking I should have done it the other way around so the tree would have been green.

• Poppystamps - Wish you a merry Christmas die
• My minds eye - O Christmas tree paper
• Memory Box - Stitched Rectangle layers die
• Gold stickers

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Find Joy

 I just love these papers and the chipboard pieces of ephemera they have that go with the papers, I put them together to make this cute seen, my friend that it went to has cats so I thought it was perfect.

• Stamperia - House of Roses 12x12 paper and Chipboard die cuts
• Tim Holtz - Small talk sentiment sticker

These chipboard pieces are pretty thick, but it made it through the mail ok :)
