The House That Stamps Built: Designer Choice Challenge

It was Cheri's choice this week for The House That Stamps Built and

since it is National Teddy Bear Day she choose the fun theme of

Teddy Bears!

 

 

Repeat Impressions has so many cute Teddy Bears it was tricky to

choose but 1604-N, Rainy Day Friends had not seen ink yet so

it won our.  I colored with Copics and then put some Copic refill

on a washcloth and dabbed it on the bears to get a true animal

texture - click on the photo to enlarge and get a better

view.   I left it without a sentiment as I am not sure

yet what I will be using this card for.

Repeat Impressions gift certificate.  Details here.

Gold & Pearl Accents and/or Colors

 

Another fun photo inspiration from House of Cards. 

Gold and pearls, this just makes me think elegance!

 

 I  immediately thought of  Stampin Up's Beautiful You set so pulled

it out and stamped this lovely image coloring her with Copics and

accenting her with pearls.  I added numerous layers using

Our Daily Breads Lavish Die set.  Top corners are a Martha

Stewart die.  Oh, is she not lovely and elegant.

 

I hope you will join in the fun.

Stamping Get together

Had a wonderful stamping get together with my dear friends Diane and Shirley

Friday and wanted to share out projects with you.

 

 

Is this not a lovely collection of cards and projects?  We each bring a couple cards

with most everything cut and ready to go in packets so we can accomplish

a lot and have plenty of time to chat, snack and enjoy our time

together.  With work and not living close we don't get to do this

often, when we do it is a wonderful time!  Thanks Diane for hosting us!

The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

Your favorite challenge this week at The House That Stamps Built:

Anything Goes!

 

I had not yet made an Impossible Card so figured it was time.  So much easier

than I expected, especially if you have a template from a friend and find

a good tutorial online:

 https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/impossiblecard/

This folds down to fit in an A2 envelope.  I used Repeat Impressions:

3212W To everything and 5131W Pine Needles Sil

The House That Stamps Built: Photo Inspiration

Time for our weekly challenge at The House That Stamps Built:

This was our photo inspiration for this week:

 

The trees are starting to turn here is Missouri so this was a great

photo for this week.

 

I stamped 3312-E, Maple Leaf several times with Versa Mark ink

randomly, embossed with clear embossing powder and then

applied Distress Oxides: wild honey, peeled paint, spiced

marmalade and fossilized amber. I embossed  and distressed

two more leaves which I fussy cut for embellishing.  I also

embossed and die cut 3214-G, Thanksgiving Blessings.
