Tag You're It # 63

I am participating in the Tag You're it Challenge # 63. Here is the beautiful inspiration tag:

My inspiration from this tag was to make a round tag with blue as my main color scheme.

Here is my tag:

I used my Sixxiz dies to make the tag. I used a Lil Inker Designs die to make the snow. Stamp is from Memory Box. Background was done using Distress inks in Faded jeans and Salty ocean.

I added lots of glitter to make the snow. Image is colored with colored pencils. It was fun to make a tag that was not a normal tag shape. Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you will stop by again!

Casology week 231 - Forest

Hello there! Today I am featuring a card I made for the Casology challenge - cue word Forest.
At first I was stumped as to what to do for this card. I was going through my stamps looking for something else when I came upon the perfect stamp for this challenge!

The stamp is from Memory box:

I stamped the tree in brown Memento ink and the heart leaves in Ombre ink.

Dies are from Sizzix and Mama Elephant.

Background paper is from Doodlebug Designs.

Thanks for visiting today! Hope you will stop by again!

Cas(e) this Sketch 196

Hello and welcome!! Today I am participating in the Cas(e) this Sketch challenge #196.
 I used a set from My Favorite Things. One of MY favorite sets, Lucky Dog!

I stamped the poodle onto patterned paper and cut her out using the matching die cut. I added a bit of colored pencil to enhance the image a bit. In the close up photo you can see I used some dimensional pearls to make her pearl necklace.

Who doesn't love a pink gingham poodle?? lol
I chose a rescue theme for my card - they are collecting cards for an animal shelter not too far from where I live! Cas(e) for a cause - I love this idea! What a nice gesture!

Here is the sketch I followed:

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you will leave a comment so I will know you were here! 

See you next time!

Casology 219

Hello I am back agin - this time with a card for the Casology challenge. Cue card : SPOOKY. Perfect for fall!

I love Halloween cards!

My card uses a very vintage Penny Black stamp. The stamp is dated 1998! 

Guess I have been stamping for a while! lol

Here is my card:

Spooky ghosts! I created the background by using distress inks on watercolor paper using the direct to paper technique. When I got the color intensity I wanted, I spritzed a bit of water, heat set it and then spritzed a bit of gold shimmer. I painted the moon with Distress inks, and added a bit of clear Wink of Stella to the ghosts.

Thanks for visiting today!

Hope to see you again!

Tag You're It Challenge 58

Hello! Welcome - today I am entering the Tag You're It Challenge #58. Here is the inspiration tag:

My inspiration from this tag was to make a fall themed tag with a word on it.

I used my Lawn Fawn stitched leaves and Hello Dies on my tag.

For the tag itself, I used my banner dies from Sizzix. 

Plaid paper is from Lawn Fawn as well.

I brushed on some clear Wink of Stella on the hello to give some sparkle.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

See you soon!
