OWH Bonus Sketch Challenge Take 2

Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch is such a fun one I had to do one more card with this sketch.

The stamps are my absolute favorites.  They are from Great Impressions Stamps #G269S and #H157S.  I inked them up with Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink.  I just love this little doggie!  I colored his ears with Prismacolor markers and his pink tounge with Tim Holtz Distressed marker in Worn Lipstick.  Cardstock is from Creative Memories.

Hambo Hoedown 68 "Pig"casso

Here is my entry for this week's Hambo Hoedown.  This is the sketch we had to use for the entry.

And here is my take on the sketch.

"Artist Pig" digi image by Hambo Stamps

My "Pig"casso has his painting framed and displayed for all.  I made his pallet and brush look like wet paint using Ranger Glossy Accents.  "Pig"casso is colored with Prismacolor markers.  His painting is created with Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Inks in Purple Twilight, Sunshine Yellow and Gold mixative.  His picture frame is a journaling sticker from Prima with the center cut out.  The DSP is Creative Memories Primary Power Pallet available only in digital.  The cardstock is Creative Memories also.  The ribbon is from Creative Charms.

Happy Crafting

Operation Write Home Sketch Challenge #122

I ordered this Ciara Stamp from Stampers Best as soon as it came out but this is the first time I have used it.  Can you tell I have a thing about dogs?  Love this little girl in her Camo.  I had this great OORAH sticker from Signify Pink and I just had to use it!  (Although in the Army we say HOOAH).

I colored Ciara with Prismacolor markers.  Both DSPs and Card Stock are from Creative Memories.
Hope you all are enjoying your day.
Happy Crafting!

Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown

The OWH Throwdown challenge for this week is tropical colors.  I can't help it--I love this dog digi so much I had to use it again!  He is so stinkin' cute!  This time I backed him with some Creative Memories Primary Power Pallet paper that I had in my stash.  The water splashes on the paper go perfectly with the dog and his floaty.

The digi is from Hambo Stamps.  I colored it with Prismacolor markers.  Cardstock and DSP is by Creative Memories (Sorry the DSP is now only available in digital format for Storybook Creator).  I might make more cards with this digi but I promise I won't bore you with it on my blog again!

Happy Crafting!
