Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge
Time for a Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge! This is a color combo I never would have thought of so it was great to try something new! I decided to use the Hearts and Hugs Bundle. I colored these adorable walrus' with Pebbled Path Stampin' Blends, the hearts with Cherry Cobbler and put them on a little ice patch with Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends. I used the So Swirly Embossing Folder on Balmy Blue Cardstock and used a Blending Brush with Balmy Blue Ink to make the lines stand out more.
I am so excited to see what you create with this color combo! I know it will be fabulous! Have a blessed day!

Winterly Wreath
Winterly Tree Tops Bundle is what I used to create this pretty wreath. I kept this card clean and simple. Colored the swags with Stampin' Blends after stamping them with Memento Ink. I used a piece of Country Woods DSP for the background and finished it off with a few Smoky Slate Pearls.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a blessed day!
Wishing you lots of joy!
I really like this greeting! It is from the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle along with the bird and the foliage. I colored them all with Stampin' Blends. I am really into "snow" on my cards these days. It is created with White Ink spattered with a
The background is Country Woods DSP. I had previously die cut the large birdhouse out of the DSP and so I backed it with a piece of Basic White Cardstock that I had run through with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. All the birdhouse dies are actually inlaid. I also stacked the top of the birdhouse with 3 layers of Real Red Cardstock to give even more dimension. It looks really neat in person.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Birds Eye View
So this card was really created with a few scraps on my desk. I had the Country Birdhouse all die cut and I didn't know what to do with it. I wanted something different and so I saw the Bird's Eye View bird already colored and fussy cut. Then I saw a few One Of A Kind Snowflakes Die cut. I knew that the proportions are all off but I somehow just kinda liked it. So as I hear so many artist saying "it's your art, do what you like" I put it all together. What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you are having the best day ever! Do art you enjoy! Blessings!
Creating a Scene Card
I feel in love with this Yuletide Village Stamp Set when I saw it! I tried to create a scene with masking and pretty happy with how it came out! I used Stampin' Blends so color, a Blending Brush to create the sky and Joyful Sayings Ephemera Pack for the greeting. I am really excited to create another scene with Masking Paper and the Stamp Set. (this really has inspired me)
I did also add a little Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush for the snow to glisten and a few Basic Rhinestones for some sparkle. Thanks for stopping by!

Winter Meadow
This is the final card I have to share inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge for this week. I loved the deer picture, yet I do not have a deer stamp, but then I remembered the deer on the Winter Meadow DSP. I wanted to change the color a little so I took out my Blending Brushes and added the colors that I saw from the picture. I love how it turned out!
Since the DSP was really all I needed I wanted to add a little texture so I reached for the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran that through with Crumb Cake Cardstock. I also added a little scrap of Country Woods DSP. I didn't have a sentiment that fit into the space the way I wanted so I reached for a retired greeting, which I Silver Heat Embossed. Finally I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to add a little shine.
I love how just adding a little color to this DSP really made it look different. I hope this inspires you to use what you have to create your ideas. I hope you are inspired to join the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge for this week! Have a blessed day!

Snowflakes!
The Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge for this week was inspiration. As you may have seen I was not only inspired by the winter trees picture but also by the snowflakes! I couldn't resist using the One of a Kind Dies (snowflake) for this card! A fun new die that has the detailed snowflake as well as the outline. For this card I only used the detailed die. I used Fluid Watercolor Paper and ink smooshed the paper onto Bubble Bath Ink onto my Silicone Craft Sheet. After it dried I die cut and then added Versamark Ink and Silver Embossing Powder to some of the edges.
I used the Unbounded Love Stamp Set for the sentiment and also silver embossed. For the edge of the Basic White Cardstock I swiped the paper onto the Versamark Pad and then added more silver embossing powder. Under the snowflakes I pulled apart retired silver ribbon and added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels. The Bubble Bath Cardstock layer is embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder, has to be my favorite of all time!
Thanks again for joining me, I have one more card to share tomorrow so I hope you come back!

Peace and Joy
Happy Halloween! Are you surprised or frightened to see the Forever Forest Dies again? 3rd day in a row! This card is similar to the one I created on Tuesday. I will link it here. I used Blending Brushes again for the background and flicked White Ink with a Water Painter. I die cut the mountains and then ink smooshed color. After it dried I used a Water Painter to add color to areas that I wanted to make darker. Then I used the Versamark Ink Pad and White Heat Embossed to create the appearance of snow. For the trees I ink smooshed several different greens onto Fluid Watercolor Paper and then after it dried, die cut and again used Versamark Ink and White Heat Embossed. I love the Joyful Sayings Mix and Match Ephemera Pack, so many wonderful holiday greetings so that is what I used for the sentiment.
I realize now that the cards from the last few days have had almost all the same elements. Do you ever start to play with something and then so many ideas pop into your head? I guess the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge really inspired me! I hope it does the same for you!
