Dog Bath

This poor guy looks a bit frustrated with the process of getting clean.  Maybe tomorrow will more fun!

Prismacolor pencils were used to color the image.

Art Glitter Adhesive and glitter was applied to the bubbles.

The red flowers are the negative portion of a Fiskars border punch.  When I want only the flower I cut a strip of cardstock about ½” in width and place it just under the flower while the punch is upside down for a better view.  The center is a negative portion of a Sizzix button die.  They are glued to the flower center then to the flower to the card with Aleene’s tacky glue and Stickles was applied to the center.  Marvy black marker was used to add stems.

The sky was lightly sponged using my handmade clear acetate cloud template.

I didn't have to cut out a mask for the dog to add the fence, some straight edged sticky notes worked just fine and I used the Marvy black marker again to connect the fence to the dog image.

The sentiment was printed with the computer.

Chocolate Chips

Hi there. Today I have a "tasty" card for you. I just love this saying from the QKR Stampede store called Friends Are. When I saw it, I knew what I wanted to do with it. Here is what I came up with. I stamped the Friends Are image on brown CS with black ink. I used my corner rounder on the corners of that piece. For the "cookies", I cut out some circles by hand, but I didn't stay on the "lines". I wanted them to have rough edges. I just cut the little chocolate chips with brown CS, and layered them randomly on the cookies. I ink distressed the cookies so the edges look golden brown. Just the way a cookie should be. I layered all those onto the PP...which is from my stash. I thought it was perfect for this saying though. This is just one of the many great sentiments in the QKR Stampede store. Head on over and check out some of the other ones that are for sale. There are a good amount that will make you laugh too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Your Nothing But An Alley Cat

Have you seen this adorable Alley Cat image from the QKR Stampede store?
This month I am trying to use a various amount of stamps-actually I took time to scout out all three divisions of the QKR Stampede site- Check out Eureka Rubber Stamps ,
Stop by Biblical Impressions Rubber Stamps for one of the largest collection of Christian rubber stamps available.

 This first card is done with a piece of tissue paper with several metallic designs on the background.
I even found a piece of this adhesive backed grid type mesh.
Both images were colored with Copic markers and Liquid Glass was used to accent here and there.

 On this second card I used this fun orange patterned paper and matted the image a few times.
I decided to use the same sentiment as above but only stamped the first line on the front and the remainder of the sentiment in the inside.
I even was lucky to find this great orange grid ribbon to add from my stash, and also that adorable kitty button.
11807 Perfect is one of the most useful sentiments to use. It is available in red rubber or digital if you prefer.
90215 - Open Stars Border was also used on this second card as a border on the orange piece of card stock to give that alley cat some fun designs.

Make sure you pop back in to see what my fellow team members have to show you this month.
Thanks

Nighttime Bear

OMG, it is March. Where is the only time?
Passes it to you so quickly?
And we have the 2nd Tuesday of the month and that means I can again show my newest card with a stamp from QKR Stampede.
Today I again opted for one of the cute stamp with the bears. I love this cute bear. The name of these stamp is "Nighttime Bear". The sentiment is from TLC.

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

Have a nice day

You're an Angel!

QKR Stampede has the cutest angel images!  For this card I used Praying Angel (#16215) I stamped this adorable angel onto white card stock and colored her with watercolor crayons.  I then fussy cut her, adhered her to some card stock and fussy cut again, this gave the image a bit more depth on the card.

The base of the card is white card stock. I used some speckled card stock in a very light purple for the first layer.  I got a packet of these 4"x6" pieces at Hollo's Paper Crafts in Brunswick, Ohio.  If you are ever in the Cleveland area, you need to stop there, they have so many wonderful paper and crafting items at fabulous prices.

For the sentiment, I used my SCAL2 program and my Cri-Kits Metallic pens and my Cricut Expressions to write it out.  Then cut it down to size, layered it onto card stock, then adhered it to the card. 

Praying Angel was adhered with foam tape.

The little star bling is from my stash.

Head over to QKR Stampede to see this and so many other adorable angel images, both in rubber and digital stamps.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Be sure to come back again soon for some more inspiration from the QKR design team!  Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Happy Birthday to Moo

I just love this Party Cow image from QKR Stampede. I grew up on a dairy farm and this image will be perfect for cards for all the guys in my family. This one is going to my brother in April.

I got the layout idea from a CTMH catalog of a scrapbook page. I liked the circle of circles.Mine are 1/2" punched circles.  I added the stitched "x's" in embroidery floss and used gray papers from a discontinued paper pack from SU! The red was some I had in my scrap stash that I am trying to dwindle down.

I colored the image with Tombow Dual Brush Pens: red #856, gray #N95, and flesh #850.

The inside says "Happy Birthday to Moo"

I hope you enjoyed this fun Party Cow card.
