Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Guyz #274

Our theme is

 TRAVEL

So some time back I created a bunch of backgrounds.. smooshing ink on the watercolor paper then taking cellophane and scrunching it on the wet inks. Once it's dry I remove the cellophane and this is the awesome design you get.. So I thought it looked like a sunset and stamped the Reverse Confetti city scape. On another piece of paper I stamped the Pretty Pink Posh hot air balloons  (this is my form of travel for the theme.. I'd never real life go up in a hot air balloon.. my brother got married in a hot air balloon) I colored with copics and used the dies then added them to the card and stamped the sentiment.

Word art Wednesday wk. 497-498 - anything goes

Krafty chicks #565 - all occasions

Get well soon - Louie

Saturday June 26, 2021

Hello

I made this card for my son's dog Louie who is a Yorkie and got bit playing with my grandsons dog which is a Golden retriever.. He got bit in the eye on Fathers day so they ran Louie to the emergency vet. They gave him a pain shot and said no dr. was there to say if he was ok. So my son and DIL decided to take him home (it was already 11pm.) and monitor him all night. My DIL took him to the vet Monday morning and the Dr. there said he needs to see a specialist as there is a lot of swelling. So she ran him over there and they put him on a bunch of meds and he needs to come back when the swelling is down and get an ultrasound. So it's a wait.  He could lose his eye sight in the one eye as there is a lot of bleeding behind the eye. Anyhow I made this card for Louie from our three dogs. Of course my dogs are a Shih Tzu/Llasa,  a Maltese, a Shih Tzu/Maltese  and I just tried to find small dogs that would kinda work and paint sorta the colors they are. I used Shin Han water colors. I used a Sugar Pea, Newton's nook, Simon Says, Paper Pretties, Lawn Fawn stamps.

CAT OR DOG

Since I haven't used this stamp in like forever... I chose cat's for my theme choice.. This stamp set is an old Magenta stamp. I stamped on water color paper and using Prima wc painted the images. I added to a slimline base and added the Tim Holtz snarky sentiment..  I thought this sentiment went well with the crazy out of control cats.

Always Fun Challenge #219

Our theme this week is

ADD A WINDOW

This is my card using Quick quotes scraps wood siding for the background. I found a scrap big enough in the dark blue for the Taylored Expressions window so die cut that out.. I stamped the TE image and using copics colored the image. I added to the window using foam so it gave some depth. I added some Stampin up foliage and then the TE sentiment.  After it's made I probably should of moved the sentiment over more to the right as it makes the left side heavy.. but it's done and I didn't want to redo..
