Double D Challenge - The Great Outdoors

The Great Outdoors 

 Anything to do with the outdoors

think canoeing, camping, traveling, gardening, fishing, etc.

Diane has put together a great inspiration board for you on this challenge. 

                                                   

I was thinking about when we would camp out in our Volkswagen camper, and I produced this card. 

It is also the very first time that I have used this stamp!

I began with a watercolor paper base card. I swished some watercolor on the front to represent the sky and grass. That was easy and fun. While it was drying, I stamped the images from Art Impressions Retired, colored them and fussy cut them out. Isn't that dog cute? We did not have a dog when we camped. Also, funny that we camped when we were young and didn't have much money, after retirement, we up our travel plans a bit. Lol 

Here is the prize for a random winner.  Good Luck!

STB #264 Number crunching, use a number

Cathy is the team host for this next Challege, and she wants us to use numbers. 

I went to Pinterest for some inspiration and made this card. 

After sponging some Distressed inks on a piece of card stock I used some dies to cut out the numbers. It was pretty easy if you just remember to cut two of each number and to be sure that they are in different colors. Then just place the number die back in, making sure they contrast. I may redo this card in more masculine colors for those needed male birthday cards. My happy colors are Peeled Paint, Worren Lipstick, and Stuttered Straw.  The die cut sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and I used gems from my stash.

STB #263 Put your sentiment on a banner

Hello Crafters and Birthday Card Makers!

It's Barb and I am your design team host for this next challenge. 

I think it would be fun to put your sentiment on a banner. 

If you are not into toppings, you can just make sure that it is a Birthday Card. 

Here is the card that I made. 

Supplies for this card are: Altenew Build a Flower Columbine Stamp and die

Background Die is an Amazon Cover Plate

Banner and sentiment are Paper Trey Ink Sweet Celebrations (an old one)

I hope that you have fun with this one and the topping is easy this time. Remember you have a chance to join our team if you use the toppings and your card is selected.

House Mouse Challenge - Anything Goes

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

Anything goes 

I made this card for the House Mouse Challenge. Unfortunately, all of my House Mouse Stamps are in  Florida and I only had two here in Wisconsin. But I was able to work with them and I made this card for the challenge. They were so cute and I decided to make them on Spring leaves instead of fall. 

Supplies that I used are Gina K card stock in Warm Cocoa, Altenew 3D Embossing folder Enchanting Vines, Penny Black wildwood dies, House Mouse stamps, Fall Float and Fall Flight. The Sentiment is a die from Simon Says You're Amazing. 

I hope to see you there.
