Challenge Your Stash

 Yesterday was reveal day for our Challenge Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  It is always fun to see what our hostess comes up for to challenge us to create something from our stash.  I was lucky enough to be the hostess this month and I decided to challenge everyone to use one of your stencils you have gathering dust in your stash.

I am loving the Waffle Flowers Postage stamp and die sets.  I decided to use the Halloween stencils that I had purchased a while back.  It was so fun to do.  I just pulled out several of my distress oxide inks an started stenciling.  The stencils are all numbered so you just color one color at a time.  The extra cobwebs and sentiments are from the waffle flower matching stamp sets.

PIP Challenge #2443

 Today over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges, we have another fun challenge.  This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  

I have always been a big fan of Lawn Fawn Stamps because they have the cutest little images to work with to create a fun scene on your card.  For my card today I am using the stamp set "Sew Very Mice".  

Since I am a sewer and a card maker, this stamp set really stood out to me.  I printed off the images and started coloring them with my copic markers.  I then used the matching dies to cut them out.  I used the Waffle Flower Postage Die and then started placing my adorable little images on to the card.  I used a piece of black cardstock and white embossing powder for the sentiment.  

Thanks for visiting my blog and be sure and check out PIP Challenges this week for some great projects that are submitted for the challenge.

PIP Challenge #2441

Time again for another challenge from Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges.   This week is being sponsored by

Sunbird Spark

Formerly Penguin Palace

There are so many fun digital images to pick from in their online store but I decided to use "Puddles of Fun" for my card today.

I colored the image with my copic markers and then cut it out with a circle die.  The fun designer papers are from Stampin Up called Rain or Shine.  I love this paper because of the rain drop background.  Thought it would work perfect for the card.  The puddle was also part of the stamp.  One of the things I like about Sunbird Spark (Penguin Palace) is that when you purchase the file you get a Bonus ready to print page where the sizes are already made for you to make an A2 card.  Sure makes it easy.  Just print and you are ready to color.

I hope you join us over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies for a fun challenge this week.
