Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the Paper Shelter Challenge with the optional twist of Alter It!  My clean and simple (CAS) design features The Paper Shelter The Most Adorable Panda digital image. One of my favorite features of digital images is sizing.  I used MS Word to resize the B&W lined digital image and cropped it.  It was printed onto Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils.  The sentiment is from a digital set by Beccy Muir.

  This lovely CAS design feature's a pre-colored digital image from Jan's Digi shop called Star Spangled Wreath .  The set includes two sentiments and a black line image.  I love using the pre-colored images for a quick card.  I wanted to send out a few cards to family for Independence Day and this was perfect! Jan is having a great sale on summer and patriotic sets right now.  Check them out in the shop HERE .

  I very recently discovered Altenew and enjoy their lovely floral images.  They generously offer a couple of free coloring pages that can be found HERE .  My project features the free carnation color page. The Altenew April Inspiration colors worked perfectly with the carnations.  I began by coloring with a Crimson Red Prismacolor pencil and high lighted with Raspberry.  Three different green alcohol ink markers were used for the stems/leaves.  I kept the card CAS and finished with a few enamel dots and a red panel to provide a pop of color.

  I was the lucky winner of a Paper Shelter image recently.  When I saw A State-of-the-art Dogwalk I knew it would be perfect for a clean and simple card. I chose to use the pre-colored digital version of the image.  It was printed onto a textured card stock with a digital sentiment from my files.  The image panel and red panel were die cut with a stitched square die from Gina Marie.  I finished the CAS 4 1/4 square card with a few rhinestones.

  I'm joining the Penny Black Saturday Challenge with the Option of Something New.  I have had Country Life 40-694 on my wish list for a couple of years.  I finally it recently and couldn't wait to ink it up! I stamped the image with VersaClaire black ink onto water color paper using my Misti.  It was water colored with various distress inks then dried overnight.  The sentiment is from Penny Black's Hugs 30-020 set.  It was stamped in VersaClaire ink using my Misti. I kept the design clean and simple to focus on the water color scene.  I am really pleased with the result!

The CAS design and sketch was inspired by the current AAA Cards challenge.  I stamped the fish image onto a scrap of gelli print and die cut.
