I chose to work with snow! I created my background by blending Distress Oxide Inks on watercolor paper, then I used some Fluffy Stuff to create the illusion of snow and flicked white ink on the top part to look like it's snowing. I stamped the sentiment directly on the background. I printed out Feeding the Birds from All Dressed Up, colored her with Copics and fussy cut her before attaching with foam dimensional tape. Peace.

Home is Where You Drink Wine Without a Bra On

 Good morning! I'd like to enter this card below into the following challenges:

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #268 - D is for Drink

Little Red Wagon #835 - Pearls and Sequins and Gems, Oh My!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

Just Add Ink #774

I used Lindy's Magicals on watercolor paper with a sort of "ink smooshing" technique to create the background. I used a die cut tag on kraft paper, attached a yellow ribbon to it with a brad. I added some gemstone stickers to it. I stamped the images from Unity Stamps Age Gets Better with Wine set with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I fussy cut the wine glass and attached to the tag with foam dimensional tape. Peace.

Wishing peace, love, and joy...

 Good morning!  I hope you all got plenty of food and shopping done this weekend!  I did get a little online shopping done but I'm going out with a friend on Thursday this week to do the majority of it. I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Inkspirational Mood Board #355

Let's Craft & Create #225 - AG/Use Twine

Creative Knockouts - Snow Much Fun

613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes/Optional Thank You

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

I blended red & green oxide inks on watercolor paper, then used a cover plate die cut to cut it out and layer on top of a kraft cardstock base. I used brads in the corners. I die cut a tag, stamped the tree & sentiment from Jolly Christmas at Simon Says Stamp with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with Copics and Fluffy Stuff. I sponged the edges of the tag and tied a piece of twine to it. Peace.

Sympathy & Friendship

 Happy day after Thanksgiving!  Did any of you get up at the crack of dawn to go shopping?  Back when my kids were little, they opened the malls at like midnight and my sister and I used to go shopping every year. It was so much fun and such a nice memory to have. But I admit, I look forward to daytime and online shopping these days. LOL

I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Color Throwdown #845

Time Out #302 (I used nature and emboss)

Crafter's Cafe - Use Yellow

AllSorts #837 - Anything Goes/Optional Focal Sentiment

Double D - Fall Colors

I just have to recognize that this is the very last challenge for Color Throwdown, and I will miss them greatly.  I have printed out the pallet of every challenge they've done and I use them for inspiration quite often. Thank you for running the challenge blog for so long!

I was truly inspired by the picture used for the Color Throwdown challenge. I created the one layer card by blending distress oxide inks on watercolor paper, spritzing with water and blotting with a paper towel. I dried it completely and then stamped the tree & sentiment from the Tree of Love stamp set at Unity Stamps with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then flicked some extra black ink all over the card. I have, unfortunately, been in need of more sympathy cards this past year than in any other year, so I have been trying to keep a stash of them handy. Peace.

Time Out #302 (I used corner and nature and emboss)

I used some scrap watercolor papers to create the background with Distress Oxide Inks, then another scrap to stamp the sentiment on (everything is stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder). Stamps are from the Hero Arts Beautiful World set, one of my all-time favorites. I finished it off with some brads in the corners. Peace.

Gobble til you Wobble!

Goooood morning! I'm making our "Thanksgiving leftover casserole" to share tomorrow with my daughter and grandkids and our friends. I started this back when my kids were little - I literally just throw everything left over from the Thanksgiving meal into a casserole dish, topping it off with mashed potatoes and cheese and gravy. It's always a hit!
