Learning Is Fun!-Your Next Stamp #55 and Stamp Ink Paper #80

Jan. 6, 2017

 I am a HUGE fan of Your Next Stamp!  I am playing along with their sketch.  

The Stamp Ink Paper Challenge is perfect for me this week!  I love all things that have to do with teaching and learning.


I love this fun, whimsical stamp set, Learning Is Fun!  I am a retired teacher and I still love making "Teacher" cards.  I send them to my "GRANDS" teachers.  

My card is created on a white card base.  I used some patterned papers in my stash to create the background.  The image is colored with Copic Markers.  I used black twine and a black enamel dot on the star.  Glossy Accents were added to the little girl's shoe and the boy's glasses for shine.  


So happy you stopped by my blog!  

 Have a fantastic day!

 HUGS!

Be Mine--Sketch Saturday #445

January 7, 2017

 It's Saturday and time for a new challenge at  Sketch Saturday!

 Our sponsor this week is Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  The prize is a $6.00 gift card for the winner.  We sure hope you will play along with us!  We can't wait to see what you create!

My card is created using Cuthbert's Car.  My little GRANDson loves cars, so this was perfect for his Valentine of him! 


My card is created on a white card base.  A variety of red patterned papers were used for my background.  I printed Cuthbert on Neenah Solar White paper and colored him with Copic Markers.  His card even has shiny headlights!  I used Glossy Accents on them and the windshield.  Wink of Stella and a few enamel dots were added for fun.  

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!  Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!

My base card is white.  I used a piece of watercolor paper and trimmed it with a stitched rectangle die.  I used Tim Holtz's Distress inks-Milled Lavender and Shaded Lilac to create the background.  Stampin' UP! So Saffron ink was sponged on the edges of the watercolor paper.  The snowflake is created using a die set from Reverse Confetti-Layered Snowflake.  I used SU card stock on the snowflake. (Perfect Plum, Wisteria Wonder and So Saffron)  The sentiment is stamped in black Versa Fine Ink.  Wink of Stella was added on the snowflake for sparkle.
