Mare and Foal

Here a wonderful image for the horse lovers in your life using the image

 Mare and Foal from QKR Stampede.

I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils, then I used an ordinary graphite pencil and drew the freehand distant ground and mountains, the green grass is freehand also – not a part of the image.

The Flourish Frame embossing folder from Cuttlebug was used for the embossing design. I sponged the embossing to make it stand out and also to cover some white that appeared from the embossing.

The nailheads are attached with Aleene’s Paper Glaze.
The image panel and borders are mounted to the card with foam squares.

This is a card front for the image company to use for card displays at shows…or I’d do an envelope and insert.

A Rose

So today I knew I wanted to share a card with you I made using the Rose Stamp from QKR Stampede....but I had 2 of them that I LOVE, and couldn't decide which to share. So...I thought I would share both. What I like is they are the same color scheme pretty much on both, but look so very different. So here is the first one...This card was made using paper piecing. I stamped the rose on both white CS and the PP from Echo Park. Then I paper pieced the flower and the leaves. I used a marker to color in the rest of the stem and small leaves. Next, I used a stipple brush to go around the rose with olive ink. As you can see I then went a little crazy and did the entire card with the stipple brush...lol. I added some olive ribbon and use the Anniversary Sentiment from the Happy Birthday Stamp set.

For my 2nd card using this stamp I "darkened" things up a bit.

I started by stamping the Rose Stamp on white CS. I then used markers to color it in. Then I grabbed the stipple brush (since it was still sitting on my table calling my name), and went to town with black ink this time. I layered onto some PP from Echo Park. For the ribbon, I wanted pink ribbon, but I felt the pink was just too bright as it was, so I ran the ribbon along the top of my ink pad. I loved the results! (Of course my fingers were a little inky, but hey...lol) Last, I added some pink FlowerSoft to the petals of the rose.

See...same stamp...2 totally different looks! Thanks for stopping by!

Dogs love Christmas too!

Hello!  Kristie here today!

I have an adorable Christmas card to show you today.

I made this card with "Dog Pile" (#17703) and "Piled High Christmas" (#23302) from Eureka! Stamps.

I stamped the image onto water color paper and colored it with water color crayons.  I used some Stickles on the star and ornaments and some Glossy Accents on the ribbon on the gift.

The inside sentiment was stamped with black ink and layered onto colored card stock to give it a little pop.

There are many wonderful images in the Eureka! Stamps store, whether you are looking for dogs, Christmas or both or maybe some thing else.

Hop on over and see what Eureka! Stamps has to offer. 

I'm sure you will find something you just love!

Thanks for stopping by today, come again soon!

Be Still...

Hi there. Today I wanted to share a quick simple card I made using 2 stamps from Biblical Impressions. Like I said...very simple...lol. I started by stamping the Babys Breath stamp with versamark and embossing with white. Next I layered that piece of purple CS onto some green. Then i pulled out some polka dot green and purple, and layered those onto the base. For the sentiment, I used the Be Still stamp, and also embossed that with white.

Well that is pretty much it...very simple, but a great card for encouraging someone in a tough spot.

A girlfriend of mine is celebration her birthday in the next week. Her's name in the www-net is Apple.

The little guy is too cute. The name of the image is "Happy Tummy".

This stamp and many other you can buy as rubber stamp or digi-stamp.

I colored the image with watercolor pencils and I wiped with terpentine.
