Slothsome!

 Hello All,

For today I will be playing along with CAS Colours & Sketches and The Paper Players. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

I like the diecuts for this card. It gives the impression of jungle leaves without being too intrusive. I left the rest of the card monochromatic keeping it nice and simple.

Each sloth was stamped colored using colored pencils and
then layered behind the leafy branches. 

The sentiment is what really makes this card special. 
Slothsome! Love the pun!

 Hello,

For today I will be playing with Just Us Girls. You gals hit is out of the park with this color combination. It happens to be one of my favs! Here is my card for today, enjoy!

This scene was created using multiple stamp sets and some masking. The mountains and sun were from one stamp. I masked them off to create the orange sky that was brushed on using DI inks- Carved Pumpkin and Spiced Marmalade.

The trees in the foreground were stamped with dark brown. The same ink was also used for the sentiment and for the trees farther back.

I stamped the mountain scene using Contour Ink from HA. This gave me a light outline of where I could come in with color. The sun rays are highlighted using a colored pencil in a feather motion. The mountains were also stamped and colored using a teal colored pencil.

Bird on White

 Hello All,

Today I am playing along with The Paper Players and Just Us Girls. It has been warm in Michigan so I thought let's prove Punxsutawney Phil wrong and welcome Spring early! Here is my card for today, enjoy!

The bird, a sign of Spring.
 This one came with a layering and diecut set. The branches were directly stamped on the cardstock along with the sentiment. 

The diecut lattice above the bird adds a bit of texture to the card.

The sentiment is stamped using two stamp sets. Each stamp is stamped in a different color, each with different fonts that add to the card and ties in the color combination from the bird.

 Hello All,

I usually don't like to commit to a New Years' resolution but this year I thought maybe I will try one. I subscribe to the Hero Arts Monthly Kit. I love each one but somehow never use them. So it is my resolution to create three cards using the kit. I started with the January kit and created three cards. One of which I would like to share today! I also will be entering the card into Just Us Girls. Enjoy!

This is from the January 2022 kit and August 2017 kit. I thought both went together magically to create this shadowbox card. I learned how to make these cards by watching a tutorial from Jennifer Mcguire. Click here to watch the video. 

This shadowbox card is a perfect example of foreground, midground, and background.
The background is my favorite with shades of orange creating the sky full of stars and a boy sitting on the moon. I brushed on DI Carved Pumpkin, Spiced Marmalade, and a dash of Vintage Photo at the bottom to create the setting for this magical card.

The branch fit nicely at the midground of the shadowbox.
The best part is that fits in an A2 envelope!
Genius!
