Blue butterflies

 

This weeks Outlines Challenge is polka dots, I had another idea planned but ran started coloring and ended up with this. The image is colored with copics, B28, 26, 24 & 21 and Y00. Then I ran it thru with the embossing folder and attached to dotted memory box PP. The ribbon was a last minute additon, not sure if I totally like it, but I colored the butterflies on it with Y00 to coordinate with the stamped image. We are off to have lunch with friends, we have been trying to catch up forever but seems we are both always doing something. Have a wonderful Sunday!

Summer Camp Week 3

This is my first card for the Summer Camp week 3 I used the technique on the video today to add color to the image. It was first embossed in clear on watercolor paper,  the image is from Outlines. I used pumice stone, antique linen, walnut stain and barn door on the image panel.

This week Wyatt and I are battling a little head cold I can't decide if it a cold or the result of all the smoke we have been dealing with due to the Holly Shelter fire. It's been about 3 weeks and although last I heard it was 80% contained finally it has burned 30,000 + acres. As a result depending on the winds we have experienced very heavy smoke on a number of days and ash. The dogs smell like smoke and the house does as well. Yuck! We have tried to keep the kids inside on the worst days, but it's been a challenge for Wyatt who loves to play outside.  We went yesterday to get Lainey weighed and were excited to see that she has gained 12 ounces in 2 weeks! She is now 14.14lbs, so we have the all clear from the doctor to keep doing what we are doing!  Check back tomorrow for another distressed card, my fingers are still inky!

Keep it krafty

This is my card for the Outlines Keep it Krafty Challenge. I love kraft paper, you can use it to create many different looks. I stamped the blossom on the kraft and then on Bo Bunny dot paper and cut out the pieces to attach to the panel. The background is part of a bits and pieces set, that has lots of different designs that help fill in a background. All stamps are Outlines, be sure to check out the blog, as a $25 gift certificate is up for grabs! Have a great Saturday!

Outlines floral

I still remember when I first found Outlines rubber stamps, I took a class at the local stamp store and loved the concept of them. I have always enjoyed cutting things out and the possibilities with these stamps are endless. You can stamp on various papers, colored, patterned, vellum, etc. You can just stamp and color with any color medium you choose and they have the best designs. I miss our local stamp store, seeing all the new stuff in person! It is just not the same shopping online, I miss the instant gratification! This card is for the Outlines black and white challenge on their blog.   All stamps are Outlines, the pot and the dots are colored with scattered straw distressed inks. Thanks for stopping by, your comments make my day.
