There's beauty to be found - Alway Fun Challenge #107

Monday April 22, 2019

 

Welcome back to my blog. Today over at

Always Fun challenge #107 we have another challenge.

 The theme is CAS..  

 

 

This is a card I made using Paper Trey ink image and sentiment. I used water color paper and H2O paints. I painted the image first then put it back in the Misti and re-stamped the flower so that I gave a crisper look. I then went around the image with some watered down H2O paints then I flicked some splatters on the piece. I let it dry for a few days then stamped the sentiment. I added this piece to a piece of card stock that matched the flower color. I wish you could see the nice shine the mica gives the card.

Prayers are with you

Saturday April 20, 2019

 

Ok so I was given a challenge by a past co worker who needed a sympathy card for our past deputy's father who was the quintessential cowboy... Well cowboy images are not in my catalog of stamps so I asked a dear stamper friend who sells Stampin up... she just had the horse but she borrowed from another SU friend the boots and hat.. So this is what I came up with. I used SU ink and stamped off the horse on a piece of scrap first then on the Kraft card stock as I just wanted it to be faint in the background. I then stamped the boots and hat and fussy cut out. I at first painted the boots brown and light blue /tan scroll work but when I sent my SU friend a photo (thank goodness for smart phones) she said the boots were to colorful.. So re-stamped them in the same brown as the horse and went over them with a light sponge of Ranger ink. and added them  over the painted boots...…. I painted the hat with SU re-inkers. The boot on the right is flush to the card the boot on the left is on foam dots and the hat part is foam dots and flush to the boot.  I stamped the Hero arts sentiment and added some shading under the boots. I think my friend will like it.

Hello.. Today over at Catch the bug is Oldie But Goodie.. OBG

 

 

 

I thought I would use the fun image called Kidz Beach... I am so ready for summer so this was fun to use. I colored in the sand with copics and used copics to create the water and background trees. I used my cloud template. I colored the image with copics and used Wink of Stella on her glass. I embossed the Simon says sentiment on vellum and added this with some yellow sequins. Gives kinda a sunny feel. I added Washi tape down both sides of the card then I used foam on the image piece and added this to the card.  I love the sunny summery feel of this card.
