Take a Break

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was wonderful and you're ready for a fabulous week.  I did manage to get some crafty time in this weekend, so I have a quick share for you today featuring an adorable mouse from Gerda Steiner.

I've colored him using alcohol markers and the panel has been die cut using a nesting postage die from Catherine Pooler.  The papers are from an older 6x6 paper pad by Color Bok (purchased at Wal-Mart) and the sentiment was included with this digital image.

To finish it off, I've added sequins from my stash.  Isn't he cute?  This card is going to a friend who's been working extra hard and I've reminded her multiple times to slow down and smell the roses.  Let's hope this card gets her to heed my advice.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Gerda Steiner at Pammie's Inky Pinkies

Hi Friends, Im back with my last post for this busy Monday!  Today begins a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and our generous sponsor this round is Gerda Steiner.  I've had the pleasure of featuring the Dog and Butterfly digital image for my A2 sized card today!

I've colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils and used Gamsol for blending.  I've cut the panel with a Stitched Rectangle Die from Kat Scrappiness and backed with a gray mat.

To give the sky some color, I masked the images and lightly blended the background with Catherine Pooler It's a Boy blue ink.  The sentiment is actally a sticker that I've left on the backing and popped on craft foam.  

Please visit and join in the challenge at Pammie's this week.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Gerda Steiner

 Hello and Happy Monday!  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies with the theme of Anything Goes and our sponsor this round is Gerda Steiner Designs.  I've had the pleasure of creating my design team project using the What's On The Table? digital stamp set.

I thought the images were perfect for creating a scene and there are 9 images in the set to choose from.  This kitty wants to eat the treats but decides he'll wait for a friend to join him.  My card measures A2 and I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  The DSP is from The Paper Studio "The Basics 2" paper pack, the sentiment is from the Cardz TV "Just Saying" stamp set.

Please join us at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this round for you chance to win adorable Gerda Steiner images.  We would love to see what you've created.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

A Kitty and Some Cactus

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  I'm back with another cute card that I created for a swap buddy.  The image is from the Gerda Steiner Spring Digital Stamp Bundle.  There are some adorable images in this bundle and my card was created using the cute Kitty and Cactus images.

The papers are from the Crate Paper Good Vibes 6x6 paper pad.  I die cut a mat for the images to sit, popped the kitty up on foam pads for dimension.  I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, die cut a ready made sentiment that is included in the paper pad and added some glittery ribbon to finish it off.

I want to remind you today starts a new monthly challenge at The Paper Funday Challenges, the theme is Anything Goes with the Optional Twist of Make it Masculine.  There are 2 sponsors for the June Challenge and there will be 2 Winners.  Please stop by and join the fun.

Until Next time, Happy Crafting!

Sending Hugs

Hello and Happy Monday!  It's a beautiful day here in Florida; breezy and sunny.  I hope it's nice where you are.  Today is a quick post sharing a Gerda Steiner Digi Stamp named Sending Hugs

My card measures the standard A2 and I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  I used designer papers from a DCWV 6"x 6" paper pad titled Playful Pets Mat Stack.  I picked it up at Tuesday Morning last week - the first day they opened back up after the pandemic closing.  It felt good to get out and do a bit of shopping!

I added some Baker's Twine and Nuvo Drops to finish the card.  It's a darling image and I'm sending the card to a swap buddy.  We all need a big hug after what we've been through.  Things are slowly getting back on track and it feels good.

Until next time. Happy Crafting!
