Hummingbird card

I've seen many beautiful cards made using a brayer for the inked background. I thought I would give it a shot since it doesn't look that hard...boy was I wrong! I had a heck of a time getting the background for this card! I defiantly need more practice but I think that it turned out great for my first try. =) I used white ink first to stamp the images and then went over them with black ink. It gives a shadow and I think it makes the hummingbirds wings look like they're moving. I used the Stampin up! Dream A Little stamp set.

Have a great day!

BugWW#7

I joined PCP a while ago but never figured it out or really did anything with it, until this challenge popped up. I just hope that I uploaded everything the right way. I love this little girl and swing from Bugaboo! She is just so darn cute! I cut her out and just added her onto the swing. I have never tried to make this type of card before but it was really easy, I found the directions here. I just used paper that I had on hand and colored her with prismacolors 946, 945, 941, 929, 913, and 903. I blended the colors with goo gone.

You can find the challenge here at Bugaboo Wacky Wednesday #7.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Summer in Alaska

This is what it looks like at 3:41 in the morning!



The first one is out the back door and the second is across the street from the front of our house.





One thing that I love about living here is all of the sunshine! It sure makes up for the -40 in the winter!

Card for my little sister

My sister and I live at opposite ends of the USA and I miss her dearly! I made her this yesterday and I hope she likes it. She is my best friend and I wish that we lived closer!


I found the sentiment at Create with TLC, they have a saying for just about anything you could ever imagine!

4th of July card

I just love the 4th of July! I love how families seem to all gather together for a BBQ or picnic and just spend time together. I adore this little turtle and I think I might make a few more blank ones to send to Operation Write Home. Being from a military family I think what they are doing is great!

I just used paper that I already had on hand and bought this cute little turtle from Bugaboo Digi Stamps, they have lots of little turtles for different holidays. I colored the little guy with prismacolors 901, 902, 908, 911 & 924 and then blended the colors with goo gone.

I entered this card in two challenges which you can find here:


Peachy Keen Stamps :: Sketch Challenge 54

Catch the bug Challenge Blog :: Red, White and Blue with Ribbon Challenge!

Have a wonderful week!

Mail

I love Greeting Farm stamps! I just got these in the mail and already have used the teacher anya to make CJ's teacher a card. I love these images! Can't wait to play with the rest of them this weekend!

Dustin Pike Red, White & Blue challenge!

My little one said that the bird looks like Blue from Rio after I colored him. =) I decided to make a card to send my gram telling her that I miss her. I missed a few of the Dustin Pike challenges and it's nice to get back into the swing of things. Have a great day!

Teacher Anya card

CJ had the most wonderful teacher for the last two years, we were so sad to see her go. We made her a scrapbook of the class and this card to let her know how much she will be missed.

Father's Day

Father's Day cards made with Riley images. My dad and father in law both like to fish so I thought this was perfect! =)
