Thinking of You

Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you are having a good day. I am entering this card in the Woodblock Wednesday Challenge. I recently moved and got rid of about a third of my woodblock stamps, but I still have a good stash! Today I used this pretty stamp from Inkadinkado called Tin Can Mail. I used a mixed media background from my stash where I had used inks and acrylic paint. I stamped over the background and added a couple of moth stickers and some cord. 


Stamp:  Tin Can Mail - Inkadinkado
Distress Inks:  Tumbled Glass and Gathered Twigs - Ranger
White Acrylic Paint - DecoArt
Saying - Honey Bee Stamps
Moth Stickers - The Paper Studio

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Stamp:  Hello - ArtC

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog. Have a wonderful day!

Giving Thanks

Hi and welcome to my blog. We are having a little bit of Fall like weather here. I know it won't last long, but I was in the Fall mood and made a card using this cute owl and an embossing folder. I tried a new to me technique with the embossing folder. I used a leaf embossing folder and ran it through my machine using a piece of vellum. I colored with watercolor crayons on the raised areas and colored with blue in the negative area. To make the card, I turned the embossed piece over to where the indented side showed and added the owl and other embellishments.


Stamp:  Owl - Impression Obession
Dies:  Stitched Oval - Gina Marie
           Circle - Crafter's Companion
Embossing Folder:  Leaves - Paper Studio
Watercolor Crayons:  Lyra

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!
