Tropical Lights

Good Morning Ladies,
I was working on the house yesterday getting it ready for Christmas Eve. I was determined to get the tree up. But of course I was doing it at about 7:30. Half of my led lights are out. So now today we will have to venture out to get new lights for the tree.
The card for today is Tropical Lights

This card was created using the northern lights technique. The background was created using make-up sponges and dye inks. The center of the background was stippled with dye inks. The panel is digital cardstock from Marco's. The palm trees is an image from Stampscapes and the sentiment is from Gina Marie. This card is blank inside for the sender's personal greeting.

CTMH Pint Container Dog Cookies

Good Morning Ladies,
I had more fun at the dog show yesterday. Dud came away with a high in trial. He is such a good boy!
The project for today is CTMH Pint Container Dog Cookies

 I like to play with different objects that companies offer. I ordered CTMH pint sized containers from Kathy Anderson. These containers are fun! I sprayed the container with Dylusions ink spray. The container took this medium well. The dog image is from Inky Antics. It was stamped on watercolor paper and colorized with the new CTMH watercolor pallet. It was then hand cut and added to the container. Paw print washi tape was wrapped around the lid.

 This is the top of the container. The glittered topper is an image from Outlines. The dog was stamped again and only the head was cut out.

This container was then filled with a bag of dog cookies.

Good Morning Ladies,
I am off to the dog show this morning. I am not showing. I am just working the dog show and selling cards at the dog show.

The kitty in a basket is images from Stampendous. Each piece is a different image cut out and put together to form a kitty in a basket. The images are stamped on watercolor paper and colorized with the new CTMH watercolor pallet. The shaped mat this sits on was cut with a Spellbinders die set. The flowers are from Bazzil and the buttons are from my stash.

Giraffe Colors

Good Morning Ladies,
I had a great day with my sister yesterday. Our lives are so busy anymore we don't get to spend much time together. So no matter what we are doing we have fun.
The card for today is Giraffe Colors

I tried something new on this card panel. I used my new watercolor paint pallet from CTMH. The watercolor paper was wet with my brush. Color from the pallet was dropped in two colors a let run. Then gold Glimmer Mist was sprayed over the entire panel while it was wet. It was set off to dry. Next the giraffe image from Creative Vision was stamped over the panel. I like the way it turned out. The paper that covers the card base is from my old stock. 

This is the inside sentiment from CTMH.
