Hello hello! We are back on the rock after a fabulous vacation in Vermont and New Hampshire. We rented a gorgeous house out in the woods that was so peaceful - it was tough to leave it. Sadly reality was calling and it's back to regular life now. I actually managed to get some cards made today. Usually it take me ages to get back into the card making groove when I've been away from it for a while but today felt pretty good. First up is a card for the Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes challenge. This came together fairly quickly as it's just simple paper piecing. I love that laughing moon - he just makes me happy. :)
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Smokey Slate) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (All from Cosmos) Paper Smooches
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Gems: Recollections
Next up is a card for the AEIHeartU Sparkle challenge and the Simon Says Sparkle and Shine challenge. I used the little balloon die from AE's Icon Fill in the Blank and the sentiment is from Storybook. I also made a version with blue balloons. Gotta cover all the bases and I know my little card stand at the animal hospital is in desperate need of restocking so I need to make as many cards as possible this weekend.
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill, (Pink glitter) DCWV, (Smokey Slate) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Sentiment from Storybook) Avery Elle
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Embossing Powder: (Clear Super Fine Detail) Ranger
Die: (Icon Fill in the Blank) Avery Elle
Last but not least is a card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and the Seize the Birthday Anything Goes challenge. I used a little strip of this adorable Jillibean Soup paper on the side and paper pieced the Amy Tangerine camera which I love and is one of the few stamps that has gotten more than one inking. The sentiment is a combo of Mama Elephant stamps. That's it for tonight. I'll post the rest of the cards tomorrow!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) PaperTrey Ink, (Riding Hood Red, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: (Sightseeing Stew 6x6) Jillibean Soup
Stamps: (Camera from Aspire) Amy Tangerine, (Smile from Flashy Letters, Sentiment from Say What) Mama Elephant
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko,
