Moose Sympathy

Good Morning Ladies,
I am up and posting early. I am off to a dog event this morning. It is a couple of hours away and in a different time zone so I am up before the crack of dawn.
The card for today is Moose Sympathy

This card was created using a moose stamp from Creative Vision. Yes I love their stamps. He was stamped on digital cardstock from Marco's Paper. I had purchased that cheap set of markers so I thought I would see how they on the digital cardstock. I think they worked out pretty good. The moose was then cut out from the body up. The light patterned cardstock is from my old stash. The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations.

This is the inside sentiment also from Heartfelt Creations.

Good Morning Ladies,
The camper is off and gone this morning getting winterized. The dog show camping season is over for me. The weather is getting cooler and I can feel the change of the seasons.

He was then cut with a Spellbinders die set as well as the mats underneath him. I made use of some of the washi tape I have across the corners.

Whimsy Dog Merriest Wishes

Good Morning Ladies,
The dogs are up and wandering around seeing what kind of trouble they can get into this morning. We had a puppy visitor overnight and I hardly knew he was here he was so quiet.
I have been doing mostly watercolor lately. So I have purchased a pan watercolor set and tube watercolors and will be exploring watercolors.

Halloween On The Farm

Good Morning Ladies,
I am having trouble with the computer again this morning. I think I am good to go now.
The card for today is Halloween On The Farm

I have had the spooky scene portion of this card done for a year. It has been sitting on the shelf. I was happy with the scene when I stamped it but could not figure out what to do with it. I purchased a Stampin' Up set off of face book and it worked well with the scene. The skeleton and rat are from that Stampin' Up set. They are stamped on watercolor paper and the rat is colorized with watercolor crayons. The barn scene was stamped on glossy card stock and colorized with dye inks. I don't know what company the barn is from because that stamp belongs to a friend. The rest of the stamps in the scene are from Stampscapes.

This is the inside sentiment from a Martha Stewart stamp set.

Expecting Kangaroo

Good Afternoon Ladies,
I was MIA this past weekend but am now back.
The card for today is Expecting Kangaroo

This card was created using the kangaroo from the Local King Rubber Stamp company. This set is called Good Day Mate. I used the technique I learned at the make and take at the Local King Rubber Stamp booth. They told me any water based markers could be used. I purchased a cheap set of markers at Hobby Lobby. They worked just fine. I added little eyes I picked up at the Cracker Box Palace booth. The grass is an image from VLVS. The wheat image is from an unknown company. The background was stippled with Andirodak ink. A sun was stippled in using a Sheena Douglass stencil.

Bear at Snowy Brook

Good Morning Ladies,
I have been diving into my new stash from the stamp show and having all kinds of fun. Don't you just love new things to play with.
The card for today is Bear at Snowy Brook

The bear is from Creative Visions. I picked this up at the stamp show. This is a new company to me and I think it is the greatest one I have come upon recently. A lot of their stamps come with two sizes in the set. And the prices are out of this world. A real deal!!! The bear was stamped on watercolor paper. He was then masked. The snowy brook was stamped next. It is from Stampscapes. The lightening image was stamped next. I used it as bare tree branches. It is also from Stampscapes. The mask was removed and the scene was colorized using watercolor crayons. Art Institute glue was added and FSJ glitter was sprinkled over the glue. A perfect winter scene.

Gina Marie Howling Wolf

Good Morning Ladies,
We have had two misty days in a row. I think they must have inspired me to create. I have been diving into some of the things that I got at the stamp show.

When I got to the Gina Marie booth my friends had picked out this die for me. They were dead on. I love it. It was cut out of black cardstock. It was then backed with a circle I cut with a Sizzix thin-lits die set. I went about making a background for this die. The background was stippled with a dark blue ink. Next Stampscapes pine trees were stamped. Viva Decor 3-D stamp paint in white was sponge on with the sponge tool I purchased the past year at the stamp show. The sentiment is also from Gina Marie.

This is the inside of the card. This sentiment is from the same Gina Marie set.

Local King Rubber New Car

Good Morning Ladies,
I think I have recovered from the stamp show. Yesterday I worked the dog show.
I decided to use the only make and take I did at the stamp show and make a card out of it. So the card for today is Local King Rubber New Car

Local King Rubber has new reverse stamps. That is where the car is from. You color on the stamp in your lightest color first. Next you take your darker color and color splotches on the stamp. You then add black dots at random. Then you stamp. You use water based markers to color with. Any brand will work. I think it is a really cool look. I did not buy this set but bought another. The sentiment is from Gina Marie stamps. Another buy I made at the stamp show. She has amazing sentiment sets.

A close-up of the car.

This is also a sentiment from the same Gina Marie set.

Sheena Douglass Fall Chickens

Good Morning Ladies,
We had a great time at the stamp show in Fort Wayne, IN yesterday. The show was smaller this year, but we still found plenty we just had to have. I thought I was coming home and creating, but when I got here I was very tired and my head was swimming with ideas.
The card for today is Sheena Douglass Fall Chickens

This card was created using the Sheena Douglass A Little Bit Sketchy collection. The bare tree is a different set from the kids with the chickens. The scene was stamped using watercolor paper and Archival ink. It was colorized using watercolor crayons. Extra grass was added along the bottom.
