Supplies used:
Penny Black Happiness Stamp
Cuttlebug Daisy Die Strip
Cuttlebug Cassie's Brocade Embossing Folder
Punch Bunch Geranium Leaf and Butterfly
Adirondack Espresso Ink
Versamark Platinum Ink
Star Dust Pen

Stampscapes at Sunset

Stampscapes are such wonderful stamps to work with.  This turned out with almost a Thomas Kincaid look.  Used daubers to do the sky with the Distress Inks, but used a brush with water and the Distress Inks to fill in the water, cabin and trees.

Stamps:  Stampscapes and Anna Griffin
Distress Inks:  Faded Jeans, Stormy Sky, Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed, Worn Lipstick, Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Vintage Photo, Pumice Stone, Broken China
Crystal Lacquer on the windows
Herringbone Cuttlebug

Tilda Steals your Heart!

Needed a card for a heart swap and still coloring Tilda's!!!  They are so fun.  Must bring me back to childhood with coloring and paper dolls!!!  This is Pink Tilda with Rose from the Pink Collection 2008 colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Odorless Mineral Spirts (OMS).  Altered her flower with a punch flower.  Punches used were Punch Bunch and EK Success.  Used the Cuttlebug corner dies and two Cuttlebug embossing folders plus the Spellbinders Nestabilities hearts!  Dew drops and Stickles for a little added something.

You can find a terrific selection of Magnolia stamps at Diana's Store here!

Thank you very much for the kind comments.  So appreciate it and inspires me to try harder!

Christmas Card, Drawing for a Kit and a Fun Snowman

Well I was informed today from a friend that I had not put anything new on my blog for some time!  (Thanks Lin!)  Can't get by with anything!!!  So I'll put a couple things on, now that I figured out where my camera was!!!

This is a similar version of a card I did for a Floral Punch Class.  I happen to have an extra kit, so if you are interested, anyone leaving comments or signing on as a follower will be put in a drawing for the kit to make this card.  It is pretty easy and everything is ready except the white dots that you can add with a white gel pen.  I even scored the leaves for you!  It will include a picture with a couple of tips on the construction.  You also need foam tape and adhesive to put it together.  Saturday, Midnight DST, November 7th I'll draw a name and you will have till Tuesday, Midnight DST November 10th to contact me by E-mail with your snail mail address.

International welcome too!!!

Supplies used:  Verse is a very old Stampendous stamp, Spellbinders Lattice Borderabilities, Large Circle Nestabilities, Inverted Circle Nestabilities, Cuttlebug Floral Corners Die and Snowdots Embossing Folder, Punch Bunch Large Holly punch, White Gel Pen, Gold Cord, Red Beads, Gold Wire and Foam Tape

Oh what fun it is to use Snowmen stamps!  But of course, I had to 3D him too!  Colored this with Ranger Distress Inks and a waterbrush.  Sponged the edges with DI and added some Stickles of different colors.  Also used a Martha Stewart border punch, EK corner punch and added a gold cord bow.

JUST A TIP:  if you are like me with never ending growing supplies in your stamp or craft room.  The names are not on all the supplies we buy, only the packaging.   So when it comes to making up supply lists, it is hard to track down the actual name of things sometimes.  Well, my memory retention is not increasing like my supplies!!!  So when I get something new now, I am writing the name on it someplace with a permanent pen so when I list the supplies used on a card, it will be easier to find.

Oh, the joys of aging!!!!

Thank you for stopping by and I really appreciate the wonderful comments that you have left!  More things in the works!  How can I want another punch????  I don't know, but I do!!!!
