Wendy has a fun Inspiration Photo this week at The House:

 

 

I thought that this darling rabbit Ode to Spring fit the photo well.

I did lots of inking with this one and really appreciated my Misti. First

I inked the rabbit with ink and stamped him/her.  Then I used my Tim Holtz

Distress markers to color and stamp the flowers and grass. Die cut

layers and flowers also Tim Holtz.

Good Morning, Donna here with the POTW (Pick of the Week) for

The House That Stamps Built and we are going to make a fun,

yet easy, yes easy, Front Step card today. Any of the stamps

I used are 20% for 1 week!

 

 

I used Repeat Impressions: 904-L, Daffodils, 5125-C, Dragonfly Sil (sm) and

3909-F, Happy Easter/Spring.

 

Start by gathering your supplies:  Colored card stock measuring  4 1/4" by 11",

Patterned paper 4x 5 1/4", 2- 4x 1 1/4"'s, 4 x 1 1/4".   Scor tape.Scor card stock at

1/2-2-4 and 5 1/5 inches.  

Attach patterned paper as shown. Put Scor tape on 1/2" flap and lay

card as shown below to attach, pressing firmly.

It will then look like this:

Color and attach images of choice, you will want to be sure that when lying flat

your layered image does not go above the top of the cardstock.  I did inside-outside

die cutting with my image to avoid this.

I hope you will give this a try!

The House That Stamps Built: Sketch

Such a fun and easy sketch this week at Repeat Impressions!

 

 

 

Close up:

 

I started by picking out a patterned paper with coral in it, coral is

the Pantene color for 2019 so I used it as my starting point. Then

 I took 9001-L, Butterfly (lg) and put several Distress Oxides

directly on the stamp, spritzed it water and stamped it.

 Fussy cut and placed on  a die cut oval and added some

 embellishments which I distressed.

The House That Stamps Built: Tic-Tac-Toe

Back for a weekly challenge at Repeat Impressions, this week is a

Tic-Tac-Toe with a lot of fun options.

I went right down the right side, starting with a die cut Summer Flowers Background

by Die Versions, I inked it up with 3 blue Oxide Inks, spritzed it with water
(a new technique for me) and then Shimmer Spritz.  I stamped my most
used Repeat Impressions stamp Birthday Vertical and layered both of
 these up for dimension, adding pop  dots to the sentiment.  A silver curly
 ribbon finished my card off.
