Back On Your Feet

Where did the month of February go???  It's hard to believe that the month is almost over and my card today is my last post for this month's Anything Goes challenge at One Crazy Stamper.

 

My card features another adorable image from our sponsor this month HIGH HOPES and is entitled Smiling Shelby and can be found here.  I colored the image with Copics, then fussy cut it out and layered it over some scraps of Bo Bunny paper.  The sentiment is from my stash.

Sunshine Lollipops

 The brutal winter weather has returned to Alberta today, and the long range forecast is not looking that great, so today's card features a bright summery image to remind us all that the warmer weather is coming!!

 



My image is the Mo Manning image Brady and Chloe, that I have printed on watercolor paper, and then painted with Distress Inks reinkers from Ranger.  The dp's are from Bo Bunny and My Mind's Eye, and the sentiment is from my stash.

 



Imagine the Possibilities



Time to showcase another card using Rangers Distress Inks to paint the image.  I really love the look of the water coloring technique and really should use it more often.

 

After the Mo Manning image was colored,  I fussy cut it and popped it up on a sheet of Prima Engraver paper.  The sentiment is an older stamp from Heidi Swapp,  that was stamped and embossed with Rangers Distress embossing powder.

Fire Truck Birthday Greetings

Today's post is HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!  Okay maybe not that hot, but it does feature a cute fireman!!!  My card for One Crazy Stamper this week features another adorable High Hopes stamp called Lil Fireman!!!!

 

I have colored the image with Copic sketch markers, then cut and matted it with a Spellbinder die.  The ribbon, Hero brad and sentiment are all from my stash.

Always and Forever

It's a beautiful sunny day here in Alberta - just wish the gale force winds would disappear!  I just let my two foster dogs out in the yard, and I think the little one thought she was going to be blown away!

My card today has a gorgeous wedding image from Lili of the Valley, that I have colored with Copics, then matted and placed on designer paper from Creative Imaginations.  Black pearls made with a Viva Décor pearl pen and stickles add dimension to the image.

Welcome to the first Terrific Tuesday of a new month, and today's card features a wonderful stamp from our sponsor company this month - HIGH HOPES!!!!  One Crazy Stamper has a variety of these stamps available online, or at the brick and mortar store, so check them all out here.

 

This adorable image is Chillin Charlie and I have stamped him on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then colored him with Copics.  After fussy cutting the image I popped it up with foam dots on to the card front that features another High Hopes image - Jungle Background.  The sentiment is hand written!

Off to Great Places

Time to post another card that I actually completed last year, but never got around to actually showing here on my blog.  This image is a wonderful digital available from Saturated Canary.

 

The image was stamped on watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then painted with Distress inks.  After the coloring was completed, I used the Wonky Squares spellbinders dies to cut both the image and the patterned paper that are on the front of the card.  The tassel was made with embroidery thread to add a touch of dimension to the card.  Dp is from Moxie.

Under the Sea!!

New month, new challenge theme for One Crazy Stamper, and this month we are looking for your ANYTHING GOES projects.  The design team has the chance this month to work with a wonderful sponsor, so all of our cards will feature images from HIGH HOPES STAMPS!

 

 My first card this month has the adorable "Willy's Sandcastle" image available here.  I have colored the image with Copics, then used Judikins Diamond Glaze to give the googles the look of glass.  To create the shaker card I have used several sizes of the Spellbinders circles dies, some acrylic and diamond dust, and 3d foam tape.  The dp is from Bo Bunny's Key Lime collection.
