Sent with Love

On Splitcoast Stampers - today's Limited Supply Challenge LSC244 was to make a card from the weather you were having today... Plus there was a 2/2/2 challenge - I used two different designer papers, two different embossing technique - heat and dry, plus two different types of stitching - maybe I get bonus points for two different ribbon treatments :) Well, here at home it is raining cats and dogs.... So this cute little House Mouse image (Special Delivery) was perfect for today's challenge. I also used this weeks sketch challenge SC252 for my layout. I coloured the image with Prisma colour pencil crayons and gamsol. Clear embossed the rain drops, added Diamond Stickles to the poppies.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone.... here is a fun Clean and Simple card I made - this weeks Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers was to use brads or eyelets on your card. As you can see I used star eyelets on the base card, I wove black embroidery thread through the eyelets to make a frame. I stamped the Jailbirds onto white card stock and then again on More mustard. Cut out the MM birds and popped up over white panel. Drew the thin black frame around birds and attached mini black brads. Used Martha Stewart border Punch on the black and more mustard mats. Added the black spider embellishment. Striped paper is from My Minds Eye.

Happy Halloween.
Hugs...

House Mouse - Merry Christmas

Happy Thursday.... I'm a little late uploading some of my cards... it's been a busy week for me.
I made this last weekend for the Splitcoast Stampers VSN November challenges. The challenge was to make an acetate stamped overlay. Something to enhance but not hide your image.
The adorable House Mouse image " Peppermint Pals" was coloured with prisma colour pencil crayons and gamsol. I stamped the sentiment "Merry Christmas" and the snowflakes using Stazon Cotton white. Attached with white mini brads.

Masked image and sponged on the clouds. Used plain circle nestabilty to cut out image. Matted image with scalloped Almost Amethyst circle. I made the Elegant Eggplant tri fold base card. Cut out the circle in the middle panel. The designer paper I used is called "Wisteria" from Basic Grey. Matted DP with Almost Amethyst. Sewed edges. Cut out the circle in DP panel with Nestability. I cut another scalloped circle with Elegant Eggplant and then cut out the middle circle to make my scalloped frame. Pierced holes in scallop. Used the Sizzlet leaf die to make my Old olive leaves. Sewed on the lavender and purple buttons. I made the inside panel and sewed on. Stamped on sentiment. Used the slit punch to make the tab and sewed on the green button.

Friend Good

Happy Tuesday everyone... I am finally home from a 2 1/2 week fabulous holiday... Our destination was St. George, Utah to meet up with some friends and do some mountain biking. We did manage to do five awesome rides, plus we had perfect weather for our rides. My husband and I drove through Montana - did a little sight seeing in Butte, then travelled over to Wyoming to check out Yellowstone National Park... took hundreds of pictures. On our way home we visited the John Day National Fossil Monument in Oregon. We also took so many of the beautiful scenic highways.

I wanted to share this fun Halloween card I made at my Stampin Up demo's house before I left on my holidays. Only stamp that was used was "Smarty Pants" from Stampin up. The eyes and nose were all made from using the circle punches. Edges of nose and eyelids were sponged with Old olive ink. Used a white gel pen for the pupils. Sentiment was stamped with basic black. Quick and easy card to make.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy stamping
