I have 3 cards to share today, I made them yesterday but ran out of time to get them posted. My first card is just for fun. I used to scrapbook a lot (now I use Project Life, so much easier for me to keep up with) and when ever I would go shopping for supplies, Ashleigh felt she needed supplies too. Our favorite little store seemed to have far more stamps in it than anything else, that should have been my clue, right? She would always pick out something for me from her, so I now have a fun collection of Disney themed wood mounted stamps. I don't have the heart to get rid of them, they have so many fun memories. My two favorite stamps are of Cinderella, my favorite Disney princess but since I DO NOT color any stamped images, I figured they would never see any ink. I recently learned about water coloring, so I pulled out Cinderella and dusted her off, stamped her in VersaMark and heat embossed in black and went to work. This is what I came up with.
My second and third cards are for challenges,
CASology #49 and
ColourQ #194. Both of these cards were quick and fun to make. The "cue" card for this week's
CASology is Fish, what a fun theme, right? I knew I had just the stamps to use. Years ago, my sister and I took some stamp classes in Elk Grove at a wonderful little store and one of the cards we made used these fun fish stamps from A Muse Artstamps. My sister was sweet enough to pass these fabulous little guys on to me and I am so happy she did!
My final card is for
ColourQ #194 and I went with a summer theme after seeing the inspiration colors, so beautiful and perfect for this time of year. I used Debbie Olson's card she made
here as my inspiration to go with the colors too, she is one incredible lady and so talented! All I really did was change up the colors and the theme, why reinvent the wheel! I also found this cute little starfish in my stash so add a bit of fun!
