Cardz 4 Galz #282 - I love hanging out with you

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #282

Theme:  Blue Skies

For my card I used Ranger ink and created the ground and used Rubber seed grass stamp and Stampin up ink.  I stamped the branch and it's an old wood block and no name now.. I colored it in with colored pencils.  I then stamped the Stampin up kitty and coloring in the heart with colored pencils. I used my cloud template and Ranger ink to create the sky.  I wanted to bring in the pink from the heart so I saw a strip of pink card stock in my scrap box and cut a couple strips and adhered behind the piece. I added this to a card base. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set.

Monday August 3, 2026

Hello

We have a new challenge for this month over at

Aud Sentiments #340

Theme:  Alcohol inks and or Summer

I made this card using the dies from Stampin up. I created the background behind the lighthouse with Alcohol inks. I made three cause I just wasn't coming up with what I liked .. Finally said forget it. I am using this one. It's a stormy night at sea..  I find alcohol inks hard to use.. I die cut the added images out of scraps and used some ranger inks to give a little color. I added the sentiment from the set. Living by the pacific ocean in Washington state the water/beach is my happy place. I love hearing the ocean waves and the joy it brings to my heart.
