Day Or Night

I have been itching to use the older TSG stamp set Day Or Night for quite awhile but unfortunately just haven’t had the chance. I was finally able to play with it during my stamping marathon earlier in the week which made me oh so happy!
An easy one layer card but I love how it came together.

I Spy Sketch Challenge: Bombdiggity

Earlier in the week I was lucky to have some of the Trendsetters come stay with me for a few days while we did lots of stamping while sharing lots of giggles! The very same Trendsetters are part of the I Spy Sketch Challenge and since I had the very administer of the challenge (Kim Teasdale) in my home, of course I had to play along in this week’s challenge ;)

I’ll admit that I panicked a bit when I first saw the sketch at hand but after Kim talked me down from the ledge, I decided to quit being a wimp and give it a go lol!

Make sure you stop by the I Spy Sketch Challenge blog for all the details about this week’s sketch!

I decided to use my Bombdiggity stamp set because this little girl is too stinkin’ cute! I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS. The papers I used are from a new paper pad I got called Ellie by Three Bugs In A Rug.

Get Well Wishes

 

Here is a fun card that I made using the new Get Well Wishes stamp set. The images were colored with Prismacolor pencils, cut out and layered to create a 3D look. It is a simple card but I love how all the different elements of the card add some texture!

Poultry In Motion

I’ve been having lots of fun with all of the new stamp sets that we just released this past weekend and I wanted to share another card that I made this time using Poultry In Motion.

This set was designed to be used with Oh Crop that was released last month and I can’t wait to create a farm scene using all of the images in the two sets!

The goat was stamped in momento black ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils.
