Hope Your Day Is Just Ducky
Hello friends! I'm sharing a clean and simple card I made using one of the new releases by Streamside Studios.
These images and sentiment are from the A Ducky Day clear stamp set. You can also find this set in digitals if you prefer working with those. I die cut a stitched scalloped rectangle, inked it with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink, and adhered it to my card. I splattered the panel with water and thinned white gouache. I colored the images with copics and fussy-cut them. I stamped the sentiment on the card and then adhered the colored images with foam tape.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a fabulous day!
Hugs, Anita

You Make My Heart Smile
Hello friends! Today I'm sharing a card I made for a fun challenge over on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog!
I used the All My Heart stamp set for my card. I colored the stamped images with copics and used a black gel pen on the mouse eyes. I die cut the images with the All My Heart Lawn Cuts. I used the Stitched Rectangle Stackables Lawn Cuts to die cut two panels from white card stock. I inked the edges of the larger panel with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. I inked the Heart Garden Stencil on the smaller panel with distress oxide inks. I also used distress inks to create the grassy area and the cloudy sky. I matted the smaller panel onto the larger one, and then adhered them to my card base. I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set and then adhered the cute mice with foam tape to give my card some dimension.
I'm entering my card in the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 171 - Bingo. I used the vertical "I" column of bright, critter, lawn cuts, stamp, and cute. I'm also entering my card in the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Stencil It.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have an amazing weekend!

A Little Bear Hug Love
Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a card featuring a stamp that the Rubber Stamps company sent me.
The Rubber Stamps company invited me to join their April "Inspired By Nature" challenge and of course I said yes! This cute image is A Little Bear Hug Love. I colored the image with copics, used a white gel pen to add polka dots to the heart, and fussy-cut the bear. I used a black gel pen on the bear's nose. I inked a 4.25" x 5.5" panel of white card stock with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I used dies from my stash to die cut the grass, tree, and tree foliage. I inked the die cuts with distress oxide inks and splattered them with watercolors to add some visual interest and texture. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I adhered the tree directly to my card and then adhered the bear, grass, and tree foliage with foam tape.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a fabulous day!
