Pammie's Inky Pinkies

Today is another challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This will be challenge #1847 and our sponsor this week is Limited Run Digital Stamps.  

We are having a bit of a snow storm in the Midwest so this is the perfect image for me to use this week.

This image is called Little Tree.  I colored the image with my copic markers and then used stickles around the trim on her hat and coat.  The background die is Snowflake rectangle by Yvonne Creations.  

I hope you check out the Limited Run store because they have amazing digital stamps on their site.  I love the storage space digital stamps take.  (Like none!)

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and join us over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.

Dueling Darlings

November is National Aviation History Month so LJ and Terry chose this as our challenge for this month. 

The image is from "Sky is the Limit" by Stampin Up.  The Designer paper is "Going Places" by Stampin Up.  I also love the embossing folder "World Traveller" by Stampin Up that was used for this card also.

Great theme from Terry and LJ.

PIP Challenge #1845

I can't believe we are almost half way through November.  I feel it in the weather with the days quite chilling but November & December seem to speed fast.

Today over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies we are doing Challenge #1845 which is sponsored by Newton's Nook which is one of my favorite stamp companies.  It must be all those adorable cat stamps.

For my card today I chose to use the image "Harvest Tails" which is the perfect fall card.  I colored the adorable deer and pumpkins with my Chameleon pencils and blended it with Gamsol.  I used the Pumpkin Patch Stencil for my background using about 3 colors to use on my background.  I topped off the card with the autumn greetings sentiment flag.

Thanks for stopping by and another thanks to Newton's Nook for sponsoring our challenge this week.  I hope you visit their store and see their adorable stamps.

Crafters of Faith

Today is reveal day for our "Crafters of Faith" group over on Splitcoast Stampers.  Our challenge today was from Vickie and she chose 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks is all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

I was at a crop recently and a friend gave me a bible she had bought at a garage sale.  I am calling it my trial bible because I still have trouble coloring in my pretty bible.  I believe it goes back to when I was in school and my mother told me "don't write in your books".

So I went to the page of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and first covered my page with clear gesso.  I traced the hands on to the page and then made a mask over the hands so I could stamp the sun rays.  I then colored the hands with my copic markers and stamped pray on to my page.

I am so glad I tried this out on my "trial" bible because I would do a few things different.  I would gesso the whole page.  Since the pages are so thin, I tore it a bit when pulling the tape up.  Also I would not use a pencil to trace the pattern on.  Did not work well with my copics.
