I am using the image called Let's play ball.  I always need more boy cards and this one I think is perfect for a grand child.  I created the ground with copics and a tiny dots Stampin up stamp and Quick Quote chalk ink. I like that it looks like sand flying up.  I colored the image with copics. I used Ranger ink and my cloud template. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions and hb from Paper Trey Ink stamped with Stampin up ink. I found this designer paper at the bottom of my scrap box.. and digging deep is what I did.. lol. It's a page from a stamp magazine that I went through and tore out before I threw the magazines out. Like I don't have enough dp I had to pull from a magazine.. I know. It's crazy.. who can relate with that??

I'm dog-gone lost - Guest Designer for Krafty Chicks

Thursday February 18, 2021

Hello

It's week 3 for me being a guest designer over at

Our theme this week is
CLEAN AND SIMPLE - CAS

For a long time I didn't care to do CAS as it felt weird having so much white space.. But I have been doing them for some time now and loving them.  As soon as I saw the theme was CAS I knew what I wanted to do. I have had this red rubber dog image from Art Impressions for like forever.. It's quite old. I don't know if I've ever used it as the red rubber seemed quite clean.. I first stamped the My favorite things sentiment then added the dog. I colored the image with copics, it may be too dark?. I hope it doesn't distort the image too much being it's a slouching dog so it's not in it's true perky form. I laughed as I colored the image.. This card was so quick to create.  I hope it makes you smile.

EMERGENCY SERVICES

Gesh.. you'd think I would have some sort of emergency services images in all my stamps.. Nope. So I used a Stampers Delights image called Medical Heroes.

I have this awesome paper from Amy Tangerine that I thought would be an awesome background.  I used Ranger ink and distressed the edge. I used Stampin up die for the sentiment and used Ranger ink.  Thank you to all that are in the Emergency Services for all you do.

Hello

Today we have a mid month reminder for the current challenge over at 

Our theme is 
CAS and SYMPATHY


I like doing CAS cards. I use to not like them but since I have some bigger simple images it makes it easier. I took the Penny Black image and some Marvy Markers and colored up the stamp and huffed it to get it wet.. (my markers are so old I was afraid it wouldn't stamp well) I then used the Simon Says sentiment and Stampin up ink.  It's done. 1,2.3.. complete.

This is my card. I started with the card base and cut about 1-1/4 inch off the top right side. I then added the green designer paper to the inside exposed area.. I added the goldish paper to the top part. I stamped the Hero Arts image and colored with copics. I fussy cut it out and added to the brown dot paper. All designer papers are from Authentique.  I adhered just half of the brown paper to the goldish paper so you can open the card. I stamped the Tech. Tues. sentiment and heat embossed. I used Stanpin up punched and scraps for the two hearts.  I went over the hearts with Spectrum Noir sparkle brush.
