Pine Tree Pair

I love the color combo on this card and must give credit to the latest Color Throwdown for that. I love the pop of the green pine trees against the purple especially.

I created an aperture using the MFT Square Peek-a-Boo Window die and created another scene inside the card.

Hmm, from this angle it looks like I did no-line coloring on the images.  Keep that in mind for the future!

SOSS #148 - Q is for Quip

Time for the next Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers:  #148 Q for Quip.  This cue word is one of my favorites.  Who doesn't have a snarky one or two liner up their sleeves?  Come play along!

Northwest Winter Scene

I've been a busy cardmaking bee in the evenings this week.  We were having carpet replaced with laminate and my craft table was the only entertainment available to me--best kind!

This is a card featuring the MFT Snow Buddies set paired up with my beloved Sunny Studio Scenic Route set. I masked the snowline using Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper then stamped the houses.

As I was coloring the sky, it occurred to me to add a shadowed mountainscape just like real life up here in the Pacific Northwest. Yet another way in addition to the masking to create visual depth.

I paper-pieced their hats using LF Snowday Remix 6x6 Paper. I'm not one for fussy cutting for I make an exception for things like this. So cute!

I'm entering this in Jingle Belles Baby It's Cold Outside (winter wear), Daring Cardmakers Just Cards Christmas Songs and Carols (Winter Wonderland inspired here)

Whimsy - Not a Creature

Not a creature was stirring . . . ha! I'm guessing the writer of that poem didn't have a cat--LOL.

For this one-layer card I stamped the Whimsy Very Mice Christmas and tree images with Memento Tuxedo Black. I colored them with Copics.

I used a Posca white pigment pen for the eyes. I emphasized the eyelashes with a Copic Multiliner. Super cute!

The sentiment was stamped last (almost always the case for me) in VersaFine Onyx Black.

ATCAS #172 - Birthday

Our latest code word at Addicted to CAS is "birthday." I KNOW you need birthday cards in your life so why not kill too birds with one stone and join us?

I stamped the Avery Elle Birthday Bus images onto Strathmore Bristol Smooth Paper using Versafine Onyx Black.  I then colored them up with Zig Real Brush Watercolor Markers. The sentiment is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black too.

Whimsy - Helloooooooo

I feel like this a lot during the holidays. The ride starts out smoothly but then the next thing I know I'm careening toward Christmas like a rocket. LOL.

I stamped the Whimsy Winter Sports image using Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it up with Copics. That image cracks me up! Actually they all do.  So cute!

For the card front I stamped the Tartan Plaid Background with Distress Oxide Broken China--I am totally mad for plaid! I paired that with a couple of different Doodlebug Designs papers for the ski slope.

I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black and added a few whoosh marks with a Copic Multiliner.
