Inspired by Challenge - Wellies

 Hello!  I hope you are doing well.  I am sharing a card I created for the Inspired By Challenge this week!  The theme is wellies!  I tell you what a challenge this card was, not because of the stamping and coloring but because I could not find my stamp!  


I knew that I had this cute stamp from Newton's Nook but searched my craft room high and low looking for it!  Has that ever happened to you?   As it turns out, I had stuck the stamp and some other Newton Nook stamps and stencils inside a drawer that I had scraps in.   Oh my!!  I looked everywhere and finally decided to open every drawer and search every nook and cranny for this set.   As it turns out, I also found this cute stencil also from Newton's Nook! It's called the Bokeh Hearts Stencil.   I love it!  





This was the first time as well that I colored a siamese cat!  I used my E70, E71, E74 and E77 to color up the cat and added pink details to the ear and nose with R32 and R30! 

I hope you get a chance to play along!  Check out the Inspired By Challenge here!

Inspired By Challenge - Rainbow Pops

 Hello!  I am sharing a card made for this week's Inspired by Challenge! I love rainbows and anything rainbow, the bright and cheery colors make me smile.   This week's inspiration photo and theme is Rainbow Pops.   I used the All Aglow stencil and Takes the Cake stamp set along with the Takes the Cake banner die.  




This is such a fun stencil set that is super easy to ink up with Distress Oxides inks and creates such a cute birthday card.   I have made several version of these!  I stamped the sentiment and used the banner die from the Takes the Cake set from The Greetery.  





Come play along with the Inspired by Challenge!  Check out the post further here

Inspired By Challenge - Umbrellas

 Hello! I am sharing a card for the Inspired By Challenge.  This week's theme is Umbrella's.  I had such a cute card in mind and it turned out exactly how I envisioned!  I love it!  I used Whimsy Stamps Dragon Water Fun stamp set along with a Rain Drops background stamp.  



I colored the images with Copic markers.  Check out my Pinterest page as I have many Copic boards.   I then used Distress Inks: Prized Ribbon, Black Soot, Broken China, Tumbled Glass, and Lost Shadow.  I then stamped with the Rain Drops background stamp with White Pigment ink.  I also stamped the dragon on the right as well.   


I added some Crystal Glaze for a puddle under the one dragon and added some ombre jewels to finish it off!
