Sit...Stay...heal... Billie and Monika - March

Monday March 19, 2018

 

Hello.. It's time for me, (Billie) and Monika from Creative with Monika to challenge each other.. So I got to chose this month challenge... it's two cards and same theme/dogs and get well...card #1 Scene with dogs and get well sentiment..  card #2 dog background and word sentiment get well..

 

This is card #1..  So I stamped the two dogs, bones and food dish from Sugar pea designs.. I then took out my re-inkers from Stampin up and Ranger and painted the scene. I added a tree to the left side and a bush to the right side. I added hills and then painted the dogs and sky. I used a Prisma color pencil for the flicks of grass. I used a Simon says bubble die and scrap from Quick Quote and stamped the Art Impressions sentiment. (when I did the tree I added green leaves to the front side but the bark is so dark that they didn't show).

This is card #2... I stamped the Art impressions images on water color paper and heat embossed the images.. I then took Ranger and Stampin up re-inkers and colored the one dog, sentiment and background.. I then stamped the Band-Aid and sentiment and heat embossed and mounted it using foam dots.  I think it's a happy get well card.. .  Please head over to Monika's blog and see what she created for our challenge for each other.

Well Monika of Creative with Monika and I are back again with another challenge between the two of us.. I got to chose the challenge this month.. for this card.. Well I love water color backgrounds and so I chose

 water color background, die sentiment with a stamped sentiment.. Nothing else. . Lets see if Monika stuck with the theme... LOL  Her cards are always awesome and I was / am trying to get her to make a card like I would.. hence the challenge. (next month I have to follow her rules..) 

I used Ranger Oxide inks as water color and smooshed and dried and smooshed more and dried and smooshed till I got what I wanted and adding some perfect pearls to the last smoosh.  I then die cut the My favorite things smile three times and layered them. I then heat embossed the gray strip with the rest of the sentiment. I used the same gray for the background behind the water color.   So this is my card.. now if you can please head over to Monika's blog and see her card.. she is 9 hours ahead of me but hers should be posted.
