Birdwatching

I fell in love with this stamp the first time I saw it.  I love watching the little Chickadees.

A closer look.

Inked with markers then colored with ink, markers and a blender pen.  The sentiment is from a retired set.  I left off the tails when I inked it with a marker.

Snow Swirled

It's such a busy time!  It's hard to find time on the computer but I just had to share this card that I did for the Less is More challenge last Saturday.

ONE LAYER CARD

This time our theme is

Let it Snow!

Last Saturday I stamped with my Roanoke Rapids friends and Barbara had this set that I love but never bought for myself. 

It's stamped in Old Olive and added some Dazzling Details to the snow flakes.  The sparkle doesn't show up well in the photo but it adds a real frosty look IRL.  I added the frame with my Simply Scored to give it a more finished look.

The snowflake at the top of the tree was cut from a second stamping.

All supplies are Stampin' Up!

Green

The Less is More challenge last Saturday was...

It's the first week of the month and so once more it's a Colour challenge, this week we have chosen

GREEN

This is a super quick card stamping the tree and sentiment from the Bright Hopes set.  Both were stamped with Old Olive ink.  The corners were punched with the ticket corner punch and some Clearance SU ribbon provided a base for the tree.

I was still in the bling mode from last weeks challenge and added a few rhinestones to give it some sparkle.

We did a similar card in our Papercrafting Class a couple of weeks ago.  This is the sample I did for that class.

I wasn't really satisfied with the heavy ribbon.  So I decided to do a remake for this challenge.

And I  want to share the card that Barb made at that class.

See how she grounded the tree on the noel?  What a great idea!

I had the boys on my own today.  Boy do I feel old tonight as I've been the villian to multiple Superheroes.  I have trouble convincing Luke that I should have a turn being the good guy!  Jack discovered that he could roll over and got himself so tickled.  It's always a blessing to hear a baby laugh out loud.

Thanks for stopping by.  I really enjoy hearing from you.

Enjoy!

Lovely as a Frosty Tree

The Color Challenge at SCS this week is to use Kraft, White & Pear Pizzazz.  Dessert is dots, spots or circles.

I stamped a scene with this tree from my Lovely as a Tree set, then cut a 1 7/8" x 4" piece for this card.  It's matted on a piece of Crumb Cake cut 2" x 4 1/8" and adhered with dimensionals.

I think I like this tree stamped in a darker ink, but The Pear Pizzazz gives it a misty look, maybe?!  I added some spots of snow with Dazzling Details.  Can you see them better here?

The sentiment is stamped with Whisper White and heat embossed with White embossing powder.

When I saw that the Tuesday Throwdown challenge was for a Masculine Christmas card, I thought this was a good fit.  I've never participated in this challenge, but my friend Brenda of Benzi Stamps is on the Design Team and I keep meaning to play.

Jack has a new trick.  He hold on to our ears (or earrings) and just about eats us up with sloppy kisses.  I'm hoping that baby kisses are a good moisturizer.  Think of all the money I'll save!

I'm so glad you stopped for a visit.

Enjoy!
