I used two of my Art Impression sets to complete this card. the cute baker and the sentiment came from one and the banner came from another. I used my copic markers to color the imaages and added a few sequins for a little sparkle!

Welcome to our CCEE Stampers Challenge blog, being a brand new month it is time to introduce our challenge hostess for the month, which is me ... Frances Byrne.

All the stamps I used are from Unity. I stenciled the clouds and watercolored the image using distress oxide inks.

I used stamps for the stripes from Unity and the main image is from Penny Black. I have a sister in law that has a thing for pigs so this will be a Christmas card for her. 

The dies are from Gina Marie. The snow is glitter from Martha Stewart.

I thought these colors might be great on a slimline card this week. The flower image is a digital from Unity, and the sentiment is from Bo Bunny. The design papers are Paper Studio.. I colored the image with copic markers. 

Mod Squad challenge - Pumkins, pumpkins everywhere

I love October because I love orange and the colors of fall and pumpkins are all over the place. I watercolored this pumpkin that has been in my stamp collection so long that I don't even know the source of it. It is a red rubber image onn a a cling foam backing and was not mounted on wood. I stamped it onto water color paper, used water colors to paint it and a retired SU stamp for the sentiment. I have been a stamper for over 20 years, so many of my seasonal stamps I have saved over the years.  Onee of the design papers is from Graphics 45. I still do cutting the old fashion way on many of my stamped images so this is fussy cut!! It was so fun to make this for the Mod Squad challennge this week and you can find all the details here:

CAS on Fridays - circles

 

I made this card for the CAS on Friday challenge with the theme to use circles. I stamped a lot of circles from a Bo Bunny set that I had and the sentiment is from Stamplorations. The inks are all distress oxide inks for the circles and the sentiment is in versafine black.  Love the CAS and simple, one layer on the card. I mounted this on a pink card base.
