Keeping Warm and Cozy

Morning.

A simple card today. 

This cute little scene is a very old stamp from Amuse.  It so evokes the feel of winter.

I began by stamping the snowflakes with a background stamp from Hero Arts.  I placed it in my Misti then inked it up with Mowed Lawn Distress ink and stamped.  Using the Misti is such an great way to stamp with large bkg stamps and get a clear, evenly inked image as you can repeat stamp over and over until it's perfect.  

I stamped the scene image from Amuse then coloured with Copic markers, cut out and pop dotted it over the bkg.  I added some puffy white paint to the roof for interest which you can't really see in the photo.  I stamped the sentiment from Simon Says and added it to a white card.

Good Morning. 

Meet today's card.  I am playing along with the CAS Challenge at Splitcoast this morning called Trim the Tree.  Easy right, especially with this stamp-die combo from Memory Box.

I began by stamping the trees with black Memento ink then die-cut them out using the matching die.  

The background was sponged with Salty Ocean Distress inks then splattered with water and white acrylic paint.  I mounted it all under a frame I cut using the stitched frame from MFT just leaving the tree tip sticking above the frame and added the star.

The sentiment is from Amuse.

I am adding my card to these challenges:

It's Monday....are you ready for the big day??  My desk is a mess but wanted to get a couple of cards in so I made a quick and easy one by inking up my acrylic block with Distress inks, spraying with water then stamping.  I wanted to add some snow so grabbed my Mr. Huey's colour spray in white.  The trees and sentiment set were sitting on my desk so I grabbed them and stamped away.  I am adding this card to the CAS-ual Fridays challenge.   

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Supplies:  stamp; Amuse, Paper Smooches/ Distress inks/ pop dots/ Mr. Huey;s spray

Deck the Halls

Happy Sunday.  Here is a quick card I made for the Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoast and for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge....Dashing Thru the Holidays.

I masked the circle, rubbed on some Distress inks, stamped the trees and the sentiment then pierced around the masked area.  Splattered on some white for snow.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Supplies:  stamps; Amuse, Paper Smooches/ Distress inks/ piercing tool/ twine

Peace on Earth

Good Morning.  Playing along with two challenges today; the Inspiration challenge at Splitcoast and the scoring challenge at CAS-ual Fridays. 

I stamped the scene then cut it into 3 pieces and mounted them within a scored border. A simple and serene card I think.

Have a great weekend and thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Supplies:  stamps; Serendipity, Amuse/ Memento black/ pop dots/ silver twine/ Scorbug
