Dog High Five

Good Morning,
It's Thursday already. This week is going fast. Temps are above normal so I am not as cold as I think I am.
The card for today is Dog High Five

This card was created with alcohol inks on vellum. Sorry I made several panels and can't wait to use them all. The sentiment is from Casual Fridays and is stamped with black archival ink. The paw print is from Sweet Stamp Shop. I remembered how hard it is to adhere vellum to anything else without it showing. So I went into the archives and pulled out my brad collection. A ribbon tops this card off.

This is the inside sentiment. Also from Causal Fridays.

Make Some Noise

Good Morning Ladies,
I am bringing you another alcohol ink card. Make Some Noise

This time the alcohol ink was dropped onto glossy card stock. There was no blending medium used on this panel. Once it was dry a silver stardust pen was used to doodle on top of the alcohol ink.  The sentiment was stamped in black. This sentiment is from Casual Fridays. The little girl with the star is a Jenny Bowlin image. She was outlined in stickles.

This is the inside sentiment. It is from the Stamps of Life.

Friend Watercolor Wash

Good Morning Ladies,
It was pretty cold out yesterday. I have been spoiled by the warmer weather we have had so far. When it is cold all I want to do is snuggle up under a blanket.

This card was created using the new CTMH watercolors. The watercolor paper was brushed with a wide brush with only water. With a smaller brush color was picked up from the pallet and washed onto the water. This has to dry before you move on. When dry the sentiment was stamped with a the Stamps of Life sentiment. The dog image is from CTMH. The flowers are from my old stash.

Reindeer Thank You

Good Morning Ladies,
I feels pretty cold out there. But it looks like we only got a skifting of snow.

Christmas is over. Now it is time to send out all of those Thank You cards. This card was created using a snowflake stencil from Tattered Angels.

A reindeer was cut from a Memory Box die and placed on top. A gold ribbon tops this card off.

This is the inside of the card. The sentiment is from the Stamps of Life.

Tropical Lights

Good Morning Ladies,
