Hello and happy Wednesday. I could not wait to ink up my Winter Fox stamps from Mama Elephant and SSS. I made this card, inspired by the challenges at AAA Cards #174, AAA Birthday #17, Inkspirational #221 (the log, balloons, and woodland feel) and Seize the Birthday #199: no topping.
I also inked up my newest die collection, Toadstool Garden from The Greetery. I was inspired by the colors at CAS Colours & Sketches #388, and am also entering this card at CAS Mixup September: Embossing with Dies (I used Leaf Pattern Cover-Up die from Lil Inkers), WWC #289: Anything Goes Masculine and Seize the Birthday #199: no topping.
The following 6 cards are all variations on the theme of 'never give up' or 'hang in there' that I made while playing around with a fun embossing folder I found at Tuesday Morning months ago. I sell these cards to a friend in the real estate business, and she loves house themed cards she can send to potential clients who are trying to find that perfect new home.
Starting with my personal favorite, with these adorable little Agenda Chickies from Mama Elephant--they are all ready to paint, and I think they are going to make a bit of a mess. I added just the faintest bit of color to the raised images with Copic markers.
The next two cards use the color scheme at Color Hues #2. I used a darker turquoise on the first card I added this Altenew Victorian house and a sentiment to the center of the card.
This next card uses the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #453. I added a light blending of turquoise ink to just the raised houses.
I will enter the remaining designs at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Frame it. My circle of raised houses and trees frame the sentiment.
For this next design, I sponged a rainbow of inks on the houses, and sponged all the trees green.
And, finally, my last design is the most simple, with just a light sponging of green ink on all the raised parts.
Thanks for Visiting
