11/9/2021 - Try Stampin' On Tuesday #531 - Shaded Summer Card

Happy Tuesday! This morning we went to Hunter’s Teacher conference and got a lot of good feedback from his teachers. Today’s card is using Try Stampin’ on Tuesday and it was inspired by my dear crafty friend, Jolanda’scard. I decided to go with the floral image as well and colored in with Stampin’ Markers. The DSP I used is from the Harvest Meadow and all the coordinating colors from the paper, which makes it so much easier for pick the colors to use. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today!

Happy Monday! I made a card last night using 2 challenges – Inspired.Create.Challenge. & Just Add Ink. I used the Stampin’ Markers to color in the floral image and the coordinating die cut.

11/8/2021 - #161 Shabby Chic / Vintage - Etched In Nature

Welcome back to another week of challenge here at Make My Monday and this week we are making Shabby Chic / Vintage Card. I have to  be honest, I rarely make this type of card so I was definitely having a hard time to come up with a card and I had to look around Pinterest & Youtube for inspiration and this is what I came up with. I used 2 different stamp sets for the background and stamped on Very Vanilla – a cardstock I rarely used now a day. And the main focus image is stamped with the darker shade of Brown and colored in with Watercolor Pencils. I think the most important thing is that you have to sponge the edge to get that vintage looks. I hope you like this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

Welcome back  to another week of challenge here at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week we are making Leaves card.

11/2/2021 - CAS Colours & Sketch #444 & Try Stampin' On Tuesday #530 - Let It Snow

Today’s card is using Try Stampin’ On Tuesday (sketch) and CAS Colours & Sketch (Color) challenge. I think this might be the first time I used Shaded Spruce at all since I bought the ink pad. I colored in the snowman’s accessories with the Markers and also used it on the sentiment. I know it’s a little strange to have GREEN snowflakes but I used Old Olive on the cardstock for the tone on tone effects. Thank you for stopping by!
