YNS Challenge 193

I have a vacation day because I had to work over part of the Thanksgiving holiday.


I have been working in my studio to reorganize and to create for Challenge #193 at Your Next Stamp 

The challenge was Candy Cane.  So I started by stenciling the candy cane background.  Then I looked through the stamp sets that I have from YNS and picked Happy Eggnog Season.  The images are so fun.  I stamped, colored and die cut them.  I wasn't sure how I wanted to put them on the card.



I decided that I wanted to use a tag.  I found the Bookmark/Tag set from YNS and I cut the second largest but it was too tall/long for what I wanted to do.  So I lined up the tag with the die cut to make it shorter.  Had to do this twice to get it just right.  I stamped the mug on the tag with London Fog Grey ink and then glued my colored/diecut images onto the tag.


I added the sentiment with my misti.


Thanks for looking!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 136

The current challenge at Lawn Fawnatics is to make the sentiment the star.  You can find the challenge here. 


I chose the large XOXO as my sentiment and used patterned paper from LF to die cut the XOXO.  Stitched Circle to cut out the white background and the little birdies from LF Happy Hugs.


I also decided to make this a circle card and embellished with a couple of sequins from LF.

InkyPaws color challenge 185

 Today I am playing along with color challenge 185 at Inky Paws Challenge.  I chose my new Stamptember stamp set from Newtons Nook with the adorable kitty and dog that you can put on the sofa snuggling.  I was not able to purchase the coordinating dies for this set so I had to fussy cut the images.


I stamped the images using my Misti and then I colored with Copics.  



The colors were Coral, Wine Red, Denim Blue and Caramel Brown.


Thanks for looking.
