Inspired by Challenge - Wellies

 Hello!  I hope you are doing well.  I am sharing a card I created for the Inspired By Challenge this week!  The theme is wellies!  I tell you what a challenge this card was, not because of the stamping and coloring but because I could not find my stamp!  

I knew that I had this cute stamp from Newton's Nook but searched my craft room high and low looking for it!  Has that ever happened to you?   As it turns out, I had stuck the stamp and some other Newton Nook stamps and stencils inside a drawer that I had scraps in.   Oh my!!  I looked everywhere and finally decided to open every drawer and search every nook and cranny for this set.   As it turns out, I also found this cute stencil also from Newton's Nook! It's called the Bokeh Hearts Stencil.   I love it!  

This was the first time as well that I colored a siamese cat!  I used my E70, E71, E74 and E77 to color up the cat and added pink details to the ear and nose with R32 and R30! 

I hope you get a chance to play along!  Check out the Inspired By Challenge here! 

Inspired By Challenge - Rainbow Pops

 Hello!  I am sharing a card made for this week's Inspired by Challenge! I love rainbows and anything rainbow, the bright and cheery colors make me smile.   This week's inspiration photo and theme is Rainbow Pops.   I used the All Aglow stencil and Takes the Cake stamp set along with the Takes the Cake banner die.  

This is such a fun stencil set that is super easy to ink up with Distress Oxides inks and creates such a cute birthday card.   I have made several version of these!  I stamped the sentiment and used the banner die from the Takes the Cake set from The Greetery.

Inspired By Challenge - Umbrellas

 Hello! I am sharing a card for the Inspired By Challenge.  This week's theme is Umbrella's.  I had such a cute card in mind and it turned out exactly how I envisioned!  I love it!  I used Whimsy Stamps Dragon Water Fun stamp set along with a Rain Drops background stamp.  

I colored the images with Copic markers.  Check out my Pinterest page as I have many Copic boards.   I then used Distress Inks: Prized Ribbon, Black Soot, Broken China, Tumbled Glass, and Lost Shadow.  I then stamped with the Rain Drops background stamp with White Pigment ink.  I also stamped the dragon on the right as well.   

I added some Crystal Glaze for a puddle under the one dragon and added some ombre jewels to finish it off!

Inspired By Challenge - Baskets

 Hello! I am sharing a card I made with some of my new The Greetery products and the Inspired By Challenge.  This week's theme is baskets.  I attended Stamp Joy last year and Betsy from The Greetery had a class and shared this basket die and it's now released!   She shared the real basket that inspired this die.  Her products are so cool.  I recently ordered the BotaniCuts Lilac die and it is so pretty!  I created this card.

Luck - Inspired By Challenge

 Hello!  I am sharing a card I made for my sister's birthday this month!   She loves vintage so I think she will love this card.  Since her birthday is the day after St Patrick's Day, I always try to incorporate into her birthday cards a little 4 leaf clover!  Everyone can use some additional LUCK on their birthday, especially if they get some lottery scratch offs! :-) 

I used stamps and dies from The Greetery!   I added some ribbon and Tim Holtz bling to the bow!
