Peek a Boo Penguin

OK folks... I read the rules.. and this card is inspired by Christmas.  The Peek a Boo Penguin is from "The Stamping Botique." I colored this image with Copic markers,and used a MS branch punch for the surrounding greenery.  The sentiment is from Cardz TV stamps. The BG papers are from my stash.  This is a 5"X7" card.


































As I mentioned in a previous post, my camera is still out for repair.  Scanned images just don't do it justice.  Enjoy!

OOPS! The Cutest Witch!

Sorry TSB... I guess I just didn't see that the challenge was Christmas themed.  Please remove me from your challenge.

The Stamping Boutique (aka: TSB) has started a challenge page again.  So, I purchased this cute little witch digi and decided to have a go at it.  She is colored with Copic markers and the background is done with chalk. The image is scanned, so it doesn't look as good as it does IRL. In particular, the sentiment, which is really blurry.  Wouldn't you know my camera quit on me and is in the shop right now. Hope you like my Halloween card.

Playing with backgrounds...

So, I was working on Christmas cards for the "Cards for Soldiers" organization I contribute to, and decided to try doing a custom background paper for a card.  I used a  (SU) fir tree stamp on white (WM) cardstock.  I had several stamp pads in different shades of green and randomly stamped the cardstock. Added a scalloped border and sentiment embossed with "Zing" Rouge embossing powder and brushed the edges with some TH Fired Brick distress ink. Hope you like it.

Dustin's Christmas in July 2013...

...is available in his store (here).  This cute teddy is only one of the 50 adorable images in this release.  I've colored this image with Copic markers.  The base paper is from my stash and the pattern papers from MME "All is bright" collection. The poinsettias are metal die cuts, but I can't remember which company I got them from, sorry :-(   Enjoy!

Chase your Dreams...

I sort of scrap-lifted this card from the internet and I do not remember which forum.  I found the same or a similar die on the "My Favorite Things" website and had to have it.  This is the resulting card.  I used the die to cut a feather from the brown card stock and then cut another feather from some pattern paper from my stash and this is the result. I hope you enjoy it.
