The House That Stamps Built: Inspiration Photo

 

It is a photo inspiration this week at the House:

 

 

 

 

 

I went with the colors and added in a few extra's as I wanted to make

a Thanksgiving card to wish those of you in the US a Happy

Thanksgiving, and my other followers a happy week.

 

I stamped  and embossed 908-K, Cornucopia, coloring it with Copics,

stamped and embossed 3214-G, Thanksgiving Blessings and did a bit

of fun layering.

Vacation

Have you been wondering where I have been? We've been hiking/vacationing

in Utah.  We went to the north rim of the Grand Canyon, Capital Reef,

Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and Escalante National Monument. Lots

of beautiful scenery and relaxation too!  Looking forward to catching up

on your creations while I was away!

The House That Stamps Built-Tic Tac Toe

 

This week is a fun Tic Tac Toe at The House That Stamps Built, I went with

the middle row across: Dew Drops, Texture and Off the Edge:

I stenciled the background with a Tim Holtz Dot Fade stencil, using

Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink, my circle is a die cut from a burlap paper

pack from my mom (thanks mom), and I used Repeat Impressions

 Birthday Vertical die cutting it into two pieces, adding additional

dimension with pop dots.  A few dew drops to finish of the

Tic Tac Toe board and I have a masculine card for my

stash.

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.

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.
