Happy Tuesday everyone!! I am back from Virginia after driving through the night yesterday and am just starting to get back into blogging and crafting again. Boy was I feeling good for nothing yesterday and just could not get out of my own way!!
Today I have the Stamp and Created Product Spotlight to share with you!! I so enjoyed using some of my favorite line of stamps:
Whiff of Joy.My image is water colored and the sketch is from Whiff of Joy.
For the next two weeks, all previously released Whiff of Joy stamps will be on sale for 25% and their newest Get Well Collection and Aladin Store Kit will be on sale for 10% off. Now is the perfect time to pick up these gorgeous stamp at a low price because they are on sale!
For my card I used Willow with Champagne illustrated by Elizabeth Bell.Card Recipe:
Stamps: Willow with Champagne illustrated by Elizabeth Bell
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Basic Grey Wisteria, Bashful Blue
Coloring: water colors using distress inks and SU markers
Tools: MS Border Punch, Spellbinders Label 10, Classic oval, Bow Easy,
Since Stamp and Create is also sponsoring the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge, I thought it would be appropriate to use the Midnight Madness sketch and one of the Wags n Whiskers stamps available at the Stamp and Create store to make a card. This is a birthday card for a sweet nephew of mine using Speed Racer and Basic Grey June Bug Paper. I don't often do male cards ....This sketch was loaded with buttons and I am sure my little nephew will be mesmerized with all of them and the colors. Hopefully he does not rip all the buttons off. LOL!
challenges:
Midnight Madness: sketch for the car- card 2
Cards for men: outdoors (card 2)
Stamp with fun: stripes (ribbon strips-card 2)
Hand Full of stamps: Let it shine (card 2-my car is embossed and all my buttons and silver baubles are shiny)
Going Grey with Snap Creations- basic grey and card or project for a child
Whiff of Joy- sketch (card 1)
Allsorts: Birthdays- Birthday card for a niece and nephew (card 1 and 2)
By the Cute and Girly: Celebrations (BOTH)
Papertake Weekly: Say it with flowers (CARD 1)
Cute Card Thursday: Someone special (this is a birthday card for a niece and a nephew)
