Happy Tuesday

Hello and happy Tuesday.  I am popping in quickly to share 2 cards.  My first card was inspired by the challenge at Just Add Ink #604: CASE of Yourself.  I still had my Hero Arts City Park stamps out, and was thinking I'd like to make something using those stamps again, but much simpler than the first batch of cards I made.  See here and below.  I created a distress ink background (I can't decide if it is sunrise or sunset) and kept my stamping to just that upper third of the card.  I like how CAS this card is.  

I am also entering this card at Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero May and Perfectly CAS #27: Distress.

My next card uses some of my oldest stamps --PTI Game On.  My newest family member is a gamer, so I broke out this little mini stamp set to make his birthday card.  I am entering this card at AAA Birthday #37: Let's Party, Retro Rubber #183: Anything Goes (8 years old?) and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Layer it Up.

Playing with City Park Heroscape Stamps

 

I had some time this week and played around with Hero Arts City Park Heroscape stamps.  It also gave me a chance to see how different inks worked with the same stamps.  

I am entering this first card at The Paper Players #591:  House.  I am a huge collector of house and building stamps, so I knew I had to play along with this challenge.  This card is a nod to all those who live in a city, where their house is an apartment.  I am entering this card at Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero May: Get Scrappy.  Sentiments are a great way for me to use up paper scraps.  I am also entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Texture, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Layer it Up.

Here is another version of a very similar card.  I made it an Anniversary card, in honor of the fact that today is my 26th wedding anniversary.   The trickiest part of this stamp set is the big solid stamp at the bottom of the card.  I am most happiest with the ink I used on this card, which is PTI New Leaf.

I am entering this card at the same challenges as the card above as well as Addicted to Stamps and More #429:  Any Occasion.
