Colourful birthday

I don't often use orange, but after all those Christmas cards, I needed a colour palette a little bit different! 

I used the Doodle Garden background stamp from Catherine Pooler, white embossed onto watercolour cardstock, then coloured with Zig markers and water. The sentiment is from Uniquely  Creative.

Dino card

My brother specifically asked for a dinosaur card for his birthday this year, so that's what he got!

I used the Critters from the Past stamp set from Lawn Fawn, coloured with Copic markers, over a background of Distress Oxide inks.

Challenge me a Christmas Card thank you!

Here's one last Christmas card to share with you!

I made a yupo panel with alcohol ink and gold foil, then cut some triangles from it to make the Christmas trees. I added a die cut and stamped sentiment from Birch Press Designs. I added some faux stitching lines for a tiny bit more detail.

I just wanted to send another HUGE thank you to my wonderful guests for my Challenge me a Christmas Card series this year (click on their name to check out their project. All of these ladies are so very awesome, and I am so grateful for their generosity, kindness and friendship.

Challenge me a Christmas Card with Anita Bowden

Welcome to "Challenge me a Christmas Card" for 2018!

My guest today is Anita Bowden, and she has challenged me to make a card with the night sky. You can check out her take on this challenge HERE.

Here's what I came up with (my card is a CASE of a card by Kristina Werner from her 2014 Holiday card series - you can check out her card HERE).

I created the sky with Distress Inks and splatters of Perfect Pearls in water. The die is from Memory Box, the star is from Neat and Tangled, and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.
