Punches Series #17

 Hi Everyone! I am back with another punch card. I used a large and small maple leaf punch to punch out the leaves and then I used the negative. I found a well inked baby wipe in my stash that I used behind the leaves. I think I had used the baby wipe to wipe up some spray inks. I made a Fall card even though September is still a summer month here, but we are getting a hint of Fall weather this week! I am looking forward to Fall weather for sure.

Saying - Stampendous

I found this fun background in my stash and I thought it would look good with my image for the water theme. I sponged some purple and blue inks on white glossy card stock and used a cloud embossing folder. The clouds were debossed. I then sanded over the debossed card stock and that gave a white halo around each cloud.

Off Set Stencil Technique

 Hello and welcome to my blog. I have not used the off set stencil technique in a long time. When I saw this technique on Gina K's blog, I wanted to try it again. I used Gina K's beautiful Snowflake Medallion stencil for this technique to make a Christmas card. It is never too early to start making those Christmas cards! The technique involves using white pigment ink through the stencil and then off setting the stencil a little and using another color over it. I used a light blue over the white on my card. I stamped the gift stamp 3 times using red ink, fussy cut them and added them to the card. The bottom gift was pop dotted over the others.

Happy Bird Day

Hi and welcome to my blog. I just love this crazy cat from by Penny Black stamps. I have 3 real cats and they all have crazy personalities. When I was making my card for the challenge I realized that the option was food and/or drink. Then I was thinking that this stamp may not be what you had in mind for the option challenge! LOL! I will just say this is for the Anything Goes challenge.  Anyway, I went with it and made a different fold card.
