Horse #2

Another stamp from the Inkadinkadoo horse set. I used a sheet of double sided My Minds Eye paper. I have 4 of these for the OWH box.

Running horse

This card gave me fits. First I chopped an entire piece of patterned paper for the base. Then I chose a brown to mat the horse on. After I put a couple together I decided I didn't like it. Chopped up this green paper. Decided to add a third mat to the image. Put it all together, Scanned a picture. The slight pink tone to the first brown image mat looked really pink! The green looked really bright! Pulled the card apart and took off the first brown mat. Toned down the green with chalk inks and put the card back together. Decided I would add some distress inks. Got out my mat and started distressing 5 cards that had the green base on the card. Got ink all over the back of the cards so I had to chop the entire front off.   I am done. Clean backs, toned down the green, used just one mat for the image.

Five more masculine cards for the OWH box

Happy Fathers Day

OWH needs Fathers Day cards so I have started on some. I wanted something a little different with some color to it. I simply cut a circle from the fish paper. The reverse side had the plaid so I bought 2 sheets. The paper has a subtle sheen to it on both sides. I was able to get enough for 7 cards.

Throw back the lemons

This card uses the current sketch challenge #116 on Operation Write Home. I had enough of the lemon paper to make 5 cards. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.

Another card using my food papers. Sometimes I just plain enjoy working with them. These gummy bears are so colorful I thought the paper made a nice hot summer card. The sentiment here is another one from Create With TLC. I made 6 of these cards so I put 1 in my stash, the rest for the  Operation Write Home box.

Just for you

 I used a Bugaboo digi image for this card. Love their images

Our Daily Bread Designs challenge

For these cards I used a La Blanche stamp and colored with Copics. I stamped the image on a pale blue printed cardstock.

I'm wild about you

I made several of these for my OWH box. I had older boys in mind. I used REALLY old animal papers. The sentiment is a digi from Create with TLC

Robot Love

I made half a dozen of these cards. Five will go in the OWH box and one in my personal box.

Turtley Awesome

The precolored turtle digi and the sentiment are both from Create with TLC. I did 2 or 3 coats of colored glaze pens on the flowers to make the color pop. I have had the turtle digi for months and just never used it. I made 3 cards for the OWH box and one for my personal stash.

C is for Cookie

Messing around with some cookie paper. The animal cookie paper is older than the hills. I made a few of these for the OWH box. I thought a child would enjoy receiving it. The sentiment is from Create With TLC. I used crystal lacquer in a couple of different colors on the cookie sprinkles and the letter C. I popped up the sprinkle cookie for some dimension.

 Stay tuned for cards made with older than the hills animal prints. Oh my.
