Birthday Card with Simon Says Stamp

 

I created this card using Simon Says Stamp "Mom's Meadow".

I stamped the images using Taylored Expressions Oreo ink on Bristol paper and then colored them with my Zig Clean Color Markers.  Once they were dry, I used some Stickles and Nuvo Drops to add some interest.  The sentiment is from the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero May 2020 kit.

Valentine's Day Card with Altenew

Some recent life events have caused my mojo to take a back burner.  I barely scraped this Valentine's Day card together for my husband.

I used Altenew's "Be A Lighthouse" stamp set along with Taylored Expressions masking heart stencil to stamp the scene.  Then I used Gina K inks to blend in some color.  Next I used my Polychromos pencils to add color to the lighthouse and landscape.

Christmas Card with My Favorite Things

I always seem to only make 1 Christmas card each year.  Here was 2020's card that went out:

For this card, I created a background using watercolor markers then die cut it with MFT "Starry Circle".  I die cut it a second time from some silver glitter paper and paper pieced the stars.  The puppy is from MFT "Happy Pawlidays" which I colored with Copics.  And the sentiment is from "Happy Holidays" by Altenew.

 Copics E31, E35, E37, YG23, YG17, Y17, Y15, W8, W6, C0, C1, R29, R35

Sympathy Card with Hero Arts

These are never easy to make cards, but I know the recipient will appreciate the sentiment.

I stamped the "Leafy Vines" from Hero Arts with Versafine and then the sentiment from "Fresh Freesia" by Altenew.  Next, I added some Hero Arts pearls and matted the card front with some matching purple paper.

Thank you Card with MFT and Concord & 9th

 

Today's card was inspired by MFT's Color Challenge 156.

Here I used the Concord & 9th Snowflakes Turnabout with Gina K inks.  I then die cut the MFT Thank You from the panel and popped it up with a few more die cuts underneath.  Quick and easy peasy!  This card was to share my appreciation to a neighbor that came by to help me move furniture.
