Stampin' In Alaska

The Paper Shelter Challenge is now Anything Goes with a weekly optional twist.  My card features the adorable Vintage Seamstress pre-colored image and the option of a bow. I started with a measuring tape embossed panel.  The image was die cut and layered onto several circle dies from my stash which I embossed with different folders.  I found a piece of yummy coordinating ribbon in my stash as well.  The card was finished with enamel dots and a sentiment from Hero Arts.

  Happy Monday!  I haven't been able to play along with The Paper Shelter for a few weeks.  Over the weekend I printed off a fun summer image called Tropical Fun .  I love using the pre-colored images for a quick project.  I found the free background through a Google search.  I thought I worked great! The card base is a 5 1/2 x 3 slimline with designer paper from Echo Park.  I finished with a sentiment and stickers from my stash.

  This week's challenge theme at The Paper Shelter is pets.  I took advantage of their current 50% off Flash Sale and bought the adorable Comfy at Home digital set.   The Paper Shelter offers both black & white image, as well as, pre-colored images with each set.  I enjoy the convenience and fabulous color choices of the pre-colored images.   For my card, I printed the pre-colored image onto Core'dinations white canvas cardstock and die cut.  The image was layered onto designer paper from Basic Grey Hopscotch paper pad.   I've been treasuring my supply of Basic Grey and decided they should be used!! :)  A die cut sentiment, pearls and twine complete the card.
