Fantasy Stamper Guest-Animal Antics

Hey there Friends! I'm guesting at Fantasy Stampers again today for their mid-challenge post. The challenge is Animal Antics. Why don't you play along? :) 

I had to use my Lawn Fawn "Party Animals" set for this card cuz it's so cute! I also used Lawn Fawn Bannerific stamp and die for the sentiment. I tried the partial die cut technique that I've been seeing on you tube to spotlight my birthday animals. You can't tell because it's covered up but the circle is just 3/4's of a circle. 

 Behind it I sponged a piece of water color paper with 2 yellow distress inks. A variety of sequins were used to create a party feel. (Pretty Pink Posh, Lucy's, and Doodlebug) oh, and I added a silver twine bow.

 I was inspired by Laura Bassen's SSS Meowy Christmas card  for the design and Melissa Denny's card (here) for the colors. 

I had a few other card challenges in mind too.

Merry Monday 177, Guesting

Hi Friends, I'm playing along with the Merry Monday DT as a guest today! I was invited to join when I won the challenge last week (The Moose Challenge). Yippee! Such a nice bunch of ladies.

I used my Simon Says Stamp "Ornament" stamp set for the Christmas lights element of the challenge, stamped is various Memento ink colors. To fullfill the glitter portion of the challenge, I covered the bulbs with clear Wink of Stella glitter pen and then covered them with a layer of Glossy Accents.

 The sentiment is from the same set, stamped with Tuxedo Black ink. The scalloped mat is Wplus9 and the stitched mat is Lil Inkers. I went CAS with this card.

Below is another photo that better captures the glitter and Glossy Accents.

A few challenges I'm playing are:

Guesting at Fantasy Stampers

Hi Friends, I'm guesting at Fantasy Stampers today for the Mid-Challenge of "Fright Night"! Or in my case "Halloween", LOL, I don't "DO" scary! So this is my submission. :)

Thank you for having me, Fantasy Stampers.

I used Mojo Monday Sketch 419 to put this together along with this adorable MFT Witch image from the "Witch way is the Candy" stamp set, colored with Copics. Then since the sentiment had the word candy in it, I had to use the cute paper from Pebbles (Boo collection). A piece of Darice purple bakers twine was used for the bow. 

Challenge Links are below.

Merry Monday 175

Hey there Bloggers, I'm playing in the Merry Monday Challenge 175 today with a CA-UTE Moose stamp from Avery Elle. The challenge is to use a moose on your card. 

I had to have this cute fellow and his cute woodland friends. The set it called "Snow Much Fun". I made a little make shift ice rink in the valley of my Lawn Fawn stitched hills die. For my trees, I used a SSS stamp set.

 I sponged my sky with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and stamped the tiny snowflakes with the same ink. The sentiment from the same Avery Elle set is stamped in Momento Rubarb Stalk ink. Basic Grey paper Nordic Holiday was used for the background and cute sweater patterned I used for paper piecing.

Winnie&Walter WCMD Challenges

Hey Friends, I've got some World Card Making Day Challenge cards to share. I'm playing along with Winnie and Walter Challenges. OK, I stayed very close to the sketch and pretty much cased Gayatri's card, although I used Martha Stewart stamps instead of Winnie and Walter. I love it! BUT I had to try many times to get it to even look decent, this is probably the 5 or 6th try. I used Seedless Preserves Distress Ink for the sponged inking.

Papertake Challenge Anything Goes

This is for Heather P.'s Challenge. The color challenge is Yellow, Mint, Kraft, Aqua.  Opps, I forgot the Kraft color as I was intently focusing on making this one several times as well before I could get it halfway decent. LOL! I used "The Party" stamp set by Winnie and Walter. The confetti stamped white panel is covering a water colored panel stamped with the sentiment. Then I added chevron washi tape to the top and bottom.

WCMD

Hey Friends, Saturday was World Card Making Day, as you know. I decided to pull out this retired Kraftin Kimmie Stamp called Haunting Hilda and play with some Distress Inks. I used a SU water brush tool and ink pads smooshed on a craft sheet. I regret stamping the bats at the top but, oh well. I was experimenting! 

I used Mojo Monday Sketch 417 and used a some Lawn Fawn Paper (the purple), some American Crafts paper (the black) and Bazzill card stock. 

Thanks for visiting!

Merry Monday 173

Hey there Friends, I've been MIA lately but I thought I'd play in the Merry Monday Challenge 173 this week. The challenge is to make a rainbow-colors themed card. I was going to stamp some rainbow snowflakes but then this Newton's Nook set was in the mailbox so I had to play! I colored the octopus with Copics and stamped the other images.

It's called Sea-sons Greetings and has cute nautical images, I won a gift cert. and chose this set.. I used Freshly Made Sketches 206 as a starting point and changed a few elements.
