Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the current Clean and Simple challenge at YNS featuring a retired silhouette image called Home Sweet Home.  The Scripture stamp is from Sweet 'n Sassy's Friendship is a Blessing set. I started by blending a few distress inks then spritzing with water.  The images were stamped using my Misti and VersaClaire black ink.  This card will be donated to a nursing home in my hometown.  The nurses requested birthday cards with Scripture to give to the residents on their birthdays. I would like to share my card with the following: Your Next Stamp Challenge:  #147 Keeping it Clean and Simple   Word Art Wednesday: Anything Goes Week #456 - 457   Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge Blog:  September Anything Goes Cute Card Thursday Challenge:  #651 No Patterned Paper      

I'm playing along with Your Next Stamp and their challenge to use Pastels.  I created a pastel cloudy sky using Tim Holtz Distress inks.  The silhouette scene is a retired YNS stamp called Home Sweet Home.  A few sequins and gems finish the card.  The sentiment is from Verve Stamps - sadly now out of business.

I'm joining the current sketch challenge at Your Next Stamp with this card featuring a YNS retired set called Home Sweet Home.  I love this silhouette stamp!  It works for so many occasions.   I started by sponging Tim Holtz Distress inks onto a scrap piece of white cardstock.  It was then spritzed with water and set aside to dry.  The card base was dry embossed with a dotted folder from The Paper Studio.  Finally, I stamped the image with my Misti then mounted onto black cardstock and applied sequins from Verve Stamps.  The sentiment in from YNS Scarf Weather.

There is a new sketch and color challenge starting over at Your Next Stamp .  I have combined a YNS retired silhouette stamp called Home Sweet Home with a digital Word Art Scripture provided by Ginny Maxam over on the Christian Card Makers FB group .  I really love how well the image and Scripture work together! I recently expanded my Distress Ink collection with these three yummy colors. They were the perfect combination to create a "sunset" sky background for  the silhouette.   Each of the colors were swiped onto a plastic page protector then spritzed with  water.  (I've also used waxed paper) Then the cardstock was placed onto the ink several times until covered and I heat dried the panel to speed up the process.  Finally, I ran the panel  through my HP Photosmart printer to print the digital Scripture and then stamped the silhouette with Versafine ink. Machine stitched borders finished two o...
