Little Red Wagon Challenge 717

I love using kraft paper and when I saw that the Little Red Wagon Challenge this week was to use kraft paper, I jumped right to it. I  added these two design paper strips first then I stamped this Stampendous bird image onto the card with versamark ink. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I used colored pencils to color the image. The little butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch.

Little Red Wagon - Dots and stripes

I needed some quick and easy thank you cards. Grabbed some dotted and striped scraps from my scrap box and this gold chrome die to add quickly to it. I love these 5 minute cards.  It is on a navy cardstock base,

Stenciling has become one of my go to technique especially if I need to complete a project quickly. This card was made with two different A Color Life stencils. I added the handwritten sentiment. I used various colors of distress oxide inks for the fish and for the dots and waves on the side panels. 

I thought it perfect for the Little Red Wagon's Something Fishy Going On challenge.

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:

For the Mix 'em up challenge the digital hydrangeas are from Power Poppy, the stumps used in the background are all retired Stampin' Up stamps, and the sentiment is from Gina K. The die is from Sizzix,  I used Distress Oxide inks to color the flower, copics for the leaves, and some of the flower
