SundayStamps Neutral 103

Today's card is for the Challenge at Sunday Stamps #103

Their challenge this week is Neutrals in blue, white, and two shades of brown. For my blue I chose SU! Soft Sky and Adirondack Stonewashed. The browns I used were SU! Early Espresso and Crumb Cake. 

The stamps are from SU! - Walk in the Wild, Bliss & Engraved Greetings. 

I stamped the moose twice one on my cs and one on post it note to make a mask. I placed the mask over the moose and added the blues to the sky. Then I came back and stamped the bird. I colored in the moose and the bird. the I made my easel card from kraft cs. 

To make my sentiment on the inside, I stamped with sentiment. Let it dry then sprinkled blue Bistre and spritzed with water. This gave me the perfect mix of blue and brown to match my image. I punched a hole and added a brad to make my easel stand. 

All done!

Below is the inspiration for the challenge in case you'd like to play along, here is the link.

My card was also entered into the AAA Cards Challenge #41. Woodland Animals

Curtain Call Travel On

Today, I played along with Curtain Call Challenge to Travel On. I really love the old car stamp from Penny Black and I added some butterfly postage from C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps. I water colored the image with Gelatos from Faber Castell. 

Below is the inspiration piece for the challenge.

MonikasBirthdayChallenge

My sweet friend Monika is celebrating a birthday this month! She wants to celebrate with a challenge. So her challenge is to CASE one of her cards. For my CASE card I chose the card below.

This was a fun challenge for me as I don't create a lot of masculine cards. Which happens to be Monika's favorite card to make. 

I hope she likes my attempt at CASE-ing her card. If you'd like to help Monika celebrate her birthday month, hop on over to her blog and play along. Just click HERE to follow the link.

CASE-ing Anna-Karin

Today I tried CASE-ing Anna-Karin at Layers of Ink. On Anna's project she used a Mason Jar die. I don't have the die so I made a scene and die cut a Spellbinders frame around it.
The technique Anna used is ink to acrylic block. I used two Versa Fine inks from TSUKINEKO - VFS- 62 Spanish Moss and VFS - 52 Toffee. I stamped the large flower with Stampin' Up! Cajun Craze and Old Olive for the stem. Then I stamped the other flowers with Versa Mark and heat embossed with Ranger Seafoam White. I have tried the ink to acrylic block technique before but in a more controlled manner. I think this "fly by the seat of your pants" way is more interesting and FUN!


Be sure to pop over to Anna-Karin's blog at Layers of Ink and see her Mason Jar project. It is totally awesome!!!

Stampscapes Barn Revisited

I just love this barn! I enjoy coloring it and adding the trees and the shrubs with little dots of color for the flowers. I see it differently every time I take it out to play. Hope you enjoy it!

FMS60 MORE

 

I have 2 male birthdays coming up early in December and they are father and son. So I decided to use my Stampin' Up! sets : A Cardinal Christmas and Le Jardin Botanique for my image and Beautiful Birthday for my sentiment. I am sooo excited I got my Spellbinders dies to work perfectly together on the windows and my Copic Markers really brought the beauty out in these two beautiful birds!

As you can see the cards are similar but quite different. I used the Freshly Made Sketch #60 to layout my cards. I am not sure they will let me have 2 entries in the drawing this week but once these were made I just had to share them.

 

Visit Freshly Made and check out the challenge for yourselves.

Below is the sketch.
