Winter Sky and Warm Wishes Card

hello again!
today I have this card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

I love how this card turned out, even though there's a heck of a lot of purple...and usually purple just makes me cringe, but I really love it as the night sky!! 
I used the Winter Skies stamp set, the Snow Cool stamp set and Upon a Star stamp sets. I also used the Stitched Hillside Borders dies to create the snowy hills.

I just looooove those constellations in the sky! and the bright yellow scarves on the cuddly critters are so bright and cheerful! 

be sure to check out this card on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog. and then play along with the current Winter Wonderland Color Challenge!
enjoy!

santa's gone to the beach!

hello there!
today I have this cute, and funny card up on the Newton's Nook blog! :)

I LOOOOOOOVE it, it just cracks me up - especially since I live in the south and it's ALWAYS hot! ha!

I used the adorable Sun Soaked Christmas stamp set! that santa image just lounging on a pool float cracks me up!
I created the background with lots of Distress Inks and two stencils: Waves and Sunscape!

then I stamped the image in black and added a cute little puffy ball to the end of santa's hat! I also added some glitter to the swimming suit and hat! 

hope this non-traditional Christmas card made you smile!
be sure to check it out on the Newton's Nook blog, too! 
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #43 - Wonderful Winter

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

this time, we want to see you with a rainbow color inspiration! 

yay!

you know I love me some rainbow! and this pastel, almost rainbow palette for winter is sooooo pretty!! wow! 
i had to amp up the colors a little...i couldn't stop myself, but I was still totally inspired by this color palette, and that sky!!!

so fun, right!? my little yetis are making snow angels!! (I hope that is conveyed!). the images are from Yeti Set Go! the sentiment is from Snow Cool! the snow was created with Distress Oxide Inks (Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers). then I splattered on some color and white acrylic ink!

the middle yeti is on an action wobbler, and he shakes back and forth! it's so fun, since he's making that snow angel! 

I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!
enjoy!

Deck the Halls with Inky Paws 2018 Blog Hop

I am so excited for today!

today we're hopping along, and feeling the Christmas spirit with Newton's Nook and the Deck the Halls with Inky Paws blog hop!


today, I combined some new and old products for my card!

and I just LOVE how it came out!
I die cut the ornament shape using the Ornament Shaker Die Set and then ink blended with Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch and Back soot! The ornament hanger was colored with Mustard Seed!

then I stamped the palm tree image from Sun Soaked Christmas, colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then fussy cut the images out! I also stamped the image onto the ornament itself and glued on the images!

lastly, I used the Petite Snow Stencil and some white embossing paste for some texture in the background!
