Juggle

Hello out there!

Happy Fri-yay to each of you.

I have a Technique Junkies card to share with you today...loving this fun new-release stamp, 'Juggle'!

I started by coloring this image with Copic Markers twice, and fussy cutting each. Then, as I didn't have any circus style paper, I used some Spectrum Noir Markers, a fine point black marker, and some glitter Washi Tape, and made my own background. A bit of a Halo Orange bag was used behind the focal panel.

I then began layering the image pieces over top of one another.

Here's a view from the side, showing the dimension.

Hope you like these stamps as much as I do!

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Mix and Match

Hello, my creative friends!

I'm pleased to share another Blue Knight Rubber Stamps project with you today.

I'm really enjoying these stamps! Wowzers!!! They stamp so precisely - gotta love well made stamps!

Again, the October theme is Mix 'n Match - we are to use one or more stamps from at least two stamp sets!

I am a part of a group that tries to meet once a year. We each bring a project, and there are 6 of us. So we start crafting about 9 a.m., break for lunch, and create all afternoon! It's a great time, and we make 6 fun projects. We also give each other little 'gifts', which is SO much fun! I chose to gift the ladies with a pretty Christmas die, but needed a way to gift wrap it. 

I had these Kraft envelopes in my stash, and decided to see how they would look stamped and colored. The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, and colored with a handful of Copic Markers. I used these Blue Knight Rubber Stamps products:

11-12-0207 Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly

11-15-0164 Once in a Lifetime

Hope you like it, and are inspired to check out the blog (link below) for more inspiration from the design team!

2 Crafty Critter Crazies and QKR Stampede Challenge

Good morning everyone!

Today, I am sharing another fun creation for 2 Crafty Critter Crazies!  This is a fun group - each creation must include a critter, and you all know how much I love critters!

Since it's the first of September, there is a brand new challenge at the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge Blog!

The sponsor for September is QKR Stampede.  Their images are so so much fun! I couldn't wait to color this Artist Bear, and loved the Thinking of You sentiment to pair with it! Isn't this image just calling out to be inked up with your markers, pencils, watercolors?

Here's my card:

I printed the image on white cardstock, then used Copic markers to color him. I created the background with a stencil from Taylored Expressions, and added the sentiment to look like the bear had just finished painting it!

Hope you like it!

Please check out the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies blog to see some great inspiration that the design team is sharing with you. We hope that you will all play along this month - can't wait to see your critter creations!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs and blessings,
