Penny Black's Christmas in July--PEACE•LOVE•JOY

On my last day of guesting on the Penny Black blog, I pulled out my Copics

and colored pencils to color this little cutie.

After coloring the image, I masked her and inked in the sky with Distress Oxide inks.

Visit the Penny Black blog for instructions and details on how I created this card.

Thanks so much for dropping by during Christmas in July and I hope that you

found inspiration to get a head start on your Christmas cards!

Huge thanks to Jill and Penny Black for the invitation to share my ideas
with you using their awesome line of products! Happy Holidays!

Penny Black's Christmas in July--Merry Everything

Thanks for stopping by on another day of Christmas in July on the Penny
Black blog! Today my card features Snowy with another popular icon from
Penny Black--the adorable hedgehog!

I did a bit of fussy cutting after stamping and coloring the image with
Copic markers, and paired them with berry branches on my wintry scene.

For details and instructions on how this card came together, visit today's post
 on the Penny Black blog. And join me here tomorrow on my last day as a guest!

Penny Black's Christmas in July--Warmest Wishes

Hello! I'm back on the Penny Black blog with another card for their month long
Christmas in July series! Here's today's card.

I fell in love with the mugs and knew that ink distressing would be involved. I created
a cup each of hot cocoa, coffee, and tea. Please visit today's post at Penny Black for
instructions on how this card came together.

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you'll drop by tomorrow!

Penny Black's Christmas in July--Let it Snow

 Hello, and Happy Holidays! As the banner reads, it's Christmas in July over at
 Penny Black, and I'm thrilled to be joining them over the next few days with
some wintry inspiration! It's never too early to start on Christmas cards, right?

Of course I couldn't pass on making a Snowy card. Blogging friend Judy Jung,
(aka Ms. Running With Scissors) did a series of Snowy cards last year and I
wanted a Snowy stamp of my own after reading her Snowy stories.

Distress Oxide inks helped create the background, and I grounded Snowy

with a snowbank and trees. I added the perfect sentiment, and finished off

the card with some clear sequins.

Please visit the Penny Black blog for a list of supplies that I used as well as 

instructions on how this Snowy card came together! Thanks for visiting

today, and I hope you'll stop by tomorrow to celebrate Christmas in July!

Pretty Pink Posh Cutting Edge Blog Hop

I'm joining the Pretty Pink Posh Cutting Edge Blog Hop just under the wire.
Here's my card.

I'm totally in love with Penny Black's By the Numbers die.
I dabbed some distress inks on it and popped it up on a woodgrain embossed card.

Gold spattered ink, a gold die cut sentiment and gold sequins finished the card.

Gosh, that's a lot of gold!

CAS(E) this Sketch! 89

Here's CAS(E) this Sketch 89 brought to you by Leigh.

And here's my take on it.

I die cut Penny Black's By the Numbers from watercolor paper and dabbed

several rainbow colors of Peerless Watercolors on it, then splattered some Mr. Huey's.

A few sequins were added for bling, and the sentiment is from Altenew.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how my teamies interpreted the sketch

and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, August 28th.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Beat the Heat with Penny Black

I'm joining the Beat the Heat challenge over at Penny Black using some goodies

that I won last month just for leaving a comment!

I chose Life's Messages, a cling set with some awesome "words to live by"

and a new flower die called Bashful. And here's my card.
 

I chose one set of messages and white embossed it on a notebook die,

then ink distressed it in ombré fashion and water spritzed it.

The flower was cut from two colors of card stock and ink distressed.
Some white dots were added for a bit of texture and everything was adhered
to a woodgrain embossed card.

Thanks, always, for stopping by!
