Twofer Card challenge #28

I just recently found this challenge to make two different cards using the same stamp, dies, etc. On this one I used the same embossing border from Darice. On one of the cards I inked the inside of the embossing folder. Then I ran it through my embossing machine. I added this little mouse three times and thinking the embossed portion reminded me of swiss cheese. The other card I used without inking the embossing folder. I used a different House Mouse stamp. One card is a friendship card and the other is a thinking of you card.  Hope I didn't stretch it too far making it an embossing folder as my same item used for both cards. I am new and learning. I never make the same card twice so this challenge was right up my alley.

Global Design Project 246

This is the made for the Global Design Project 246 which was a sketch challenge this week. 

I used an old Stampin' Up set I had in my collection and used my vibrant distress oxide inks for all the inks on this. The design paper was a scrap retrieved from my scrap pile. You can find this challenge here:  http://www.global-design-project.com/2020/06/global-design-project-246-sketch.html

Fruits of summer

This card is using this week's Splitcoaststampers Sketch challenge (807) and I stamped the image with a light colored ink so I could do no line water coloring on it for the Water coloring on Wednesday challenge on SCS as well. I used the strawberries because of the fruit challenge on Mod Squad this.  this imagine is from Flourishes and stamped with Doxi color: aantique linen. I then water colored the image with various reds and greens of Distress Oxide inks, and a few other colors. I am not too good at water coloring but I do love it and the tutorial over on Splitcoaststampers by Lydia which is fabulous.

Addicted to stamps and more 395

This is for the photo inspiration  challenge over on Addicted to stamps and More 395. You can find their challenge here: http://addictedtostamps-challenge.blogspot.com/

For the background of my card I inked the inside of my Darice embossing folder with a dark blue distress oxide ink, spritzed it with water and printed in onto my white cardstock.  Then I used Unity stamps for the image and sentiment. I fussy cut those and added them to the background. As you can probably guess I was inspired by the colors and also the center photo on this inspiration selection.

Christmas in June

It's always fun to make a Christmas card during the off season, and I used the challenges of snowflakes on the 52 Christmas card Throwdown challenge and I used the colors that were the challenge for the Just Us Girls challenge to use white, kraft, and turquoise.  You can find these challenges here:

HMFMC318 and Festive Friday challenge

Here is my card for the HMFMC challenge going on with the twist of using circles/dots.
I am also using this card for the FF0061 challenge honoring the National Orange Blossom Day with my elements used being citrus, yellow, green, and  flower. This little guy looks like he has the right idea of how to cool off on a hot summer day and enjoy a little citrus in his unique way.
