Sending Hugs Floral Garden Slimline Card

 Hi All!  Today I am sharing a card I created for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Sending Hugs.  I don't have any Impression Obsession products on hand, so I used a Simon stamp instead!

I started this card by die cutting a piece of smooth white cardstock with the largest stitched die in Lawn Fawn's Large Slimline with Sliders die set.  I then stamped the absolutely gorgeous SSS Floral Garden image and gold heat embossed.  I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to color the image, and then splattered some gold watercolor paint across the whole panel.  After my panel was dry, I adhered it to a gold glitter cardbase.  

For the sentiment I die cut a piece of black cardstock using the smallest die in Memory Box's Wrapped Stitched Rectangles die set.  I gold heat embossed the sentiment from SSS Sketched Flowers stamp set.  I gold heat embossed along the edges of the sentiment piece as well, then adhered it to my card with foam tape for a bit of dimension!

Zig colors used for Flowers:

• Light Carmine
• Pink
• Lilac, English Lavender
• Purple with Light Brown center
• Turquoise Green, Light Blue with Yellow center
• Bright Yellow, Yellow, Lemon Yellow with Light Brown center

Leaves:

• Light Green, Yellow Green
• Olive Green, Mid Green

I added some sparkling sequins throughout the card for a finishing touch!  Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my card today!

House Mouse Designs Ornament Candy

 Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing a card I made for House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #330 - Anything Goes with the option of Sparkle/Shine.  Anyone that has seen my cards in the past knows that that is not a problem for me!  

I started this card by die cutting a piece of Copic friendly white paper with the largest rectangle from the Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die set by Memory Box.  I then stamped the adorable Ornament Candy image featuring Monica and Mudpie and colored it with Copic markers.  This is a large and beautiful image!  After I finished coloring, I mounted my card on red glitter cardstock. 

Copic colors used for Monica:

• Fur - T1, T3, T5
• Skin - E50, E51
• Ears, Nose - E93

Mudpie:

• Fur - E21, E23, E25
• Skin - E50, E51
• Ears, Nose - E93

Candies:

• RV10, RV21, RV23, RV25
• YG01, YG05, YG07, YG09

Pine Boughs and Needles:

• G21, G24, G29
• E57, E59

Gold on Ornament:

• Y11, Y15, YR21, YR23

Shadows:

• N0, N1, N2, N3

Since Sparkle/Shine was the option for this challenge I added glitter to the candies and then used glossy accents to cover the entire ornament.  I think it really gave the ornament a more realistic look!  I then added the Tim Holtz idea-ology Naughty or Nice adornment with a bow, and a few iridescent crystals for some more sparkle and shine!  Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my card today!

House Mouse Designs Dog Ride

Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing a card I made for the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #325 - Anything Goes with the option of Leaves.  I am also entering this card into Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Make It Sparkle!  If you have seen any of the other cards I have made, you know that isn't a problem for me!  LOL!!

I started by die cutting the largest of the Wrapped Stitch Rectangles from Memory Box out of Copic friendly white paper.  I then stamped this adorable House Mouse Designs stamp, Dog Ride featuring Maxwell, Muzzy, and Amanda, onto the paper and colored the image with Copic markers.  I added a small sentiment from Sugar Pea Designs Sending Sentiments stamp set which I stamped in brown pigment ink and clear heat embossed for a shiny look.  This is a big and beautiful image so I didn't want the sentiment to be too large.  I wanted the stamp to shine on its own!  I just love this stamp because I love the House Mouse Designs images and we have many senior and/or special needs dogs so this is a perfect combo for me!  I then mounted my card onto chocolate glitter cardstock.  Calling it brown glitter cardstock just sounded a little boring!

• Fur - E31, E33, E35
• Skin - E50, E51
• Ears, Nose, Cheeks - E93
