The House That Stamps Built: Sketch Challenge

Wendy has a fun sketch this week at The House.

 

My card:

 

The sketch:

I stamped part of Bass Harbor Light (lg) as I had a small area to work in,
pulled out my water colors and had fun. I cut my designer papers to match
the sketch, did some layering, stamped  Because and bordered it
with anchors I punched out of patterned paper glued to
cardstock for dimension.

The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

Anything goes this week at The House That Stamps Built! I am trying to

make more masculine cards for the new year. This one was a lot of

fun to make.
 

The background is several blue Distress Oxides with a generous

splattering of water.  I stamped 9718-G, Plant numerous times with
various bright Distress Oxide inks, stamped and embossed
4103-K, Sea Turtle (lg) and colored him with Oxide inks, added and
embossed 9713-E, Bubbles.  An embossed and layered
1113-D, Birthday and a  few Taylored Expressions die cuts.  I was
quite happy with this card.

The House That Stamps Built: Inspiration Photo

Wendy has a lovely inspiration photo this week at

The House That Stamps Built.

 

 

I went with softer colors and the circle design using a new die cut

my hubby gave me for Christmas, Spellbinders Wreath.  I colored a

piece of cardstock with Brusho's and then die cut it.  I added Repeat

Impressions:1144-D, Anniversary in the center and added ribbon

 and some embellishments.

 

Inside the card Repeat Impressions 419-J, Another year . . .

Twofer

Had some free time so I was motivated by Darnell's Twofer Heart challenge,

I started with a new set from Stampin Up  Heartfelt and used the

lacey heart.  The first card is CAS, bear and sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

 The second card was the fun messy one, I embossed the

hearts randomly in clear, embossed one in silver.  Then used Distress

Oxides and smoosed until I liked my background.  Happy

Anniversary is from Repeat Impressions, and heart die is

Momenta.

The House That Stamps Built: Designer Choice Challenge

Welcome to the first challenge of the year for The House That Stamps

Built!  It is a DCC-Designer Choice Challenge hosted by Shirley-

something that reminds you of your childhood.

 

I had quite a collection of stuffed animals and that Wendy's darling

teddy bears were my first thought.  Although I used pink and

added a bow I was not a frilly little girl. I liked playing

dolls with the girls but I also played with the boys

 since my brother is just a year older than me.

 

Wishing you much joy in 2020!

 

Supplies:

Repeat Impression Stamps:
