Sundays With Crissy Challenge #30 - Tickets/Tags

It's time for me to present my card for this month's challenge at Sundays With Crissy, and the theme is Tags or Tickets.  

 

This adorable dinosaur is "Back to School Bart", a digital stamp available from Whimsy Stamps here.  He's got his backpack on, so I've imagined him ready to take off on his summer vacation.  I made the card into a slider card so that he can run to catch the plane, bus, or train.  The dp is from the On the Go collection by Bo Bunny, and the ticket stamps are from Stampers Anonymous.  You still have time to enter the challenge to win digital images from Crissy Armstrong, so check it out here.

Things With Wings Challenge

It's time for my turn to showcase one of Crissy Armstrong's delightful images at her challenge blog Sundays With Crissy.

This is "Wings of Hope" from Whimsy Stamps.  I have stamped the image on watercolor paper and then colored it with Distress Inks.  Although you can't see it in this photo I used Twinkling H2O's on the wings, mane, tail, and pole to add glimmer and shine.  The background paper was made by inking Impression Obsession's Fluff stamp with distress inks.  The corner flourish is from Memory Box, the sentiment is Whimsy Stamps Ticket Notes, and the ribbon is from my stash.

Summer Friends

Time for me to show off another beautiful image from Crissy Armstrong on her Sundays with Crissy blog!  This month's theme is "Use Your Favorite Color Combination".

My favorite color combination is using any of the rich jewel tones - greens, reds, purples, golds, etc, so this image of "Maya and Marissa" from Whimsy stamps got the royal treatment with my Copic markers.  The image and mats are all cut with the Spellbinders Grand Scallop Squares dies, and the sentiment is also from Whimsy Stamps - Whimsy Sentiments Collection Fanciful Birthday Notables 1.  A Martha Stewart ribbon slot punch was used for the threading of the gold ribbon, while the flower is from Recollections.

Sundays With Crissy Challenge

The theme for this month's challenge at Sundays with Crissy is Animals.  I have owned several of Crissy's images from High Hopes stamps for awhile now, so this was the perfect opportunity to use one - this is "North Wood Stack".

The image was colored with Copics as usual, matted on layers of cardstock, then mounted on the dp which is from Simple Stories Generations line.  The pearls were made with a Viva Decor Pearl Pen, and the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.

A Little Birdie Told Me

The challenge this month at Sundays With Crissy is "Birthdays", and Crissy has so many images that you could use for this theme, so I had a hard time finding the perfect one to use.  I choose "Birdie Friend" from Crissy's digis for Whimsy Stamps, and with the right sentiments it became an adorable birthday card.

The image was colored with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils, then matted on layers of Bazzill cardstock and designer paper from K & Company Sweet Nectar mat pad.  The border punch is from Martha Stewart, and the sentiment and image on the inside of the card is from My Sentiments Exactly Birdie Banner stamp set.

Snow Much Fun!!

Merry Christmas Eve to you all, and I hope that you are all snuggled up waiting for Santa's visit, and that the milk and cookies are waiting for the jolly old fellow!!!  This months theme at Sundays with Crissy is an easy one - Anything Goes!!

I love working with digital images, so when Crissy Armstrong designed her December releases at Whimsy Stamps, I knew right away that I wanted to create a winter scene using as many of the images as possible.  I merged Snowman Santa, Snowman Top O' the Morning and Snowman Skating ( which also got flipped ) to make my card. 

The card was colored with Copics, then flocking, liquid applique, and Smooch Pearlized Top Coat was added for dimension.  The mitten die and matching sentiment stamp are also available at Whimsy Stamps.  The border punch is a Martha Stewart one from my collection ( and someday I will organize all of them and write the name of each right on the punch LOL!!! ).

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and all the Best in the New Year!!
