Little Red Wagon #616 Stenciling

 I did this card for the sketch challenge over on Splitcoaststampers today, and also am adding it to he Little Red Wagon challenge today too for the stenciling.  I stenciled this with a Gina Marie stencil using a makeup brush for blending the distressed oxide ink. I stamped the images with Versafine black, and the stamps are from Unity. I love this lacy die from Sizzix so used it as my only embellishment.  I really need to replenish my sympathy cards since I make a great deal of them for our Care Team at my church.  You can find the details of the Little Red Wagon challenge here:

I make a daily visit to Splitcoaststampers daily, which I have done for the last 10 years at least. You don't have to be a member to visit and see all those terrific galleries there, and check out their daily challenges, which are always fun to participate in. I have been a member over there for over 17 years and now that I am retired, I can browse for hours over there. Check it out here:

Seashells sing a song for me

 

I love the beach in summertime, and seashells are part of the fascination for me. When I saw this challenge over on the Fusion website, I knew it was a "must do" for me. I used some design papers from my stash, I stamped shells from an older SU set I have in my collection, the sentiment is one of my favorites from Unity, and the cute little crab die is from Gina Marie.  I sponged the color onto the shell and satrfish with distress oxide inks. I stenciled the card base with broken china distress oxide ink to make it look like the ocean. Thanks for stopping by to check out my card. Hope you have a safe and wonderful summer. 

Here is where you can find this fun challenge:

CCEE2116 Tea Day

Frances is back today with another fun challenge for you all.

Apparently the 21st April was Tea Day, create a card that features tea or coffee.

Let's take a look at what the Design Team created for this challenge.

I used a Sizzix die for the lacy corner, a stamp from Unity for the image, and a sentiment from Gina Marie. The lacy stamp I am not sure of the source but thought it tied into the theme and style of this card. The flowers are a Sizzix die as well.. I used the smashed disress oxide ink to stain the ivory background cardstock. The card base is dark brown.  

Make the Card #7 Coffee or tea

 

I am trying a new challenge to me Make the Card #7. The theme this week is coffee or tea. Being from Texas, I can't go a day without my sweet tea!! I used a stencil from Creative Expressions that I used Distress Oxiide inks and my blending brushes. The image is from Unity, and the sentiment is from Gina Marie.  I water colored the image using my distress oxide inks as well with the same colors I had used for the stenciling,  You can find the details of this challenge here:

I love finding challenges to do during the week because they get my mojo going. I also like making at least one Christmas card a week too. So this week's Just Us girls' challenge to use animals helped me decide on this cute little chickadee for a Christmas card for next year's stash. It is a digital image from Power Poppy, The sentiment is from Stampin' Up and I colored the image with Copic markers. The die cut is from Gina Marie.
