Christmas in July – Day 3

 

Hello everyone!

Here’s my card for Christmas in July Day 3 (Day 19 of the colouring challenge) using one of my very first Penny Black stamps! Isn’t that deer the cutest?!

I coloured him with my Twinkling H2Os this week and then created the background using a Uniko stencil with some distress ink covered with glitter paste.

Christmas in July – Day 2

Hello everyone!

Christmas in July Day 2 (Day 18 of the colouring challenge) and today I inked up another older Stampendous stamp, Chickadee!

I coloured it using the fab, non-festive palette over at CAS Colours & Sketches this week, although I did have to use a drop of yellow for his beak!!

I added a sentiment from Penny Black complete my very simple card!

Christmas in July – Day 1

Hello everyone!

When I decided to play along with the Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring challenge using my wood mounted stamps again, I knew I wanted to find a way of using my Christmas stamps as well. Then I thought of Christmas in July and decided to use my festive wood mounted stamps for the second half of the 30 day challenge. I’m aiming to continue the theme during the rest of the month and expand my supplies to included dies and clear stamps… once the colouring challenge is over that is!

So, for Christmas in July Day 1 (Day 17 of the colouring challenge), I inked up an older Stampendous stamp, Owl Tree. I can remember where/when I purchased so many of my older stamps. But this one? No idea! I suspect I probably got it as a bargain…. but apart from that, its origins are a mystery! I do however remember where I got those little Lia Griffith/Hero Arts snowflakes I used for the background – I got them while standing in line during Create 2015. Complete spur of the moment purchase! Brings back fun memories of the event!

I used a sketch from a past My Favorite Things sketch challenge (Number 368… the old challenge blog seems to have disappeared and I can’t find any archives to link to). The sentiment is by Hero Arts.

Bride and Groom

Hello everyone!

I’m still playing catch up with the Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring challenge and my personal wood stamp challenge.

For my Day 16 colouring, I decided to use another stamp from my Hero Arts collection! This one is from a set of stamps called Wedding Day. They got a lot of use back in the day when my friends were getting married! I stamped it on Bristol cardstock and coloured it using my Zig Real brush markers and Twinkling H2O paints.

I dry embossed a square die in the centre of my card and adhered the image. I then carefully added a Clearly Besotted sentiment to complete my card.

I’m entering this into the current Addicted to CAS challenge where the theme is wedding.

Striped Vase

Hello everyone!

I’m still playing catch up with the Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring challenge and my personal wood stamp challenge.

For my Day 15 colouring, I decided to use another Hero Arts oldie but goodie, the Striped Vase Sketch stamp. I stamped it on Bristol cardstock and coloured it using my Zig Real brush markers.

I decided to play along with the latest My Favorite Things sketch challenge – I loved how Michelle used a sentiment die in her inspiration so I added an older die from MFT that I got in a set a few years ago. Annoyingly, I dropped the sentiment on my card as I went to adhere it! Glue ended up all over the front of my card, but luckily I managed to rub it away with my adhesive eraser.

To finish off my card, I added a few Nuvo glitter drops to the centre of my flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!

You are Pawesome!

Hi there!

I’m still playing catch up with the Daily Marker 30 Day challenge! This is my rather small amount of colouring for Day 14!

I used one of my Hero Arts wood mounted cat stamps – the Dots Cat. I remember stamping him several times in a circle for a birthday card for my dad back in the day. Things are much easier nowadays with the MISTI!

Anyway, I coloured him with my Twinkling H2Os and added a sentiment die from Simon Says Stamp. I actually think this was be the very first SSS die that I purchased!

Thanks for stopping by!
