Peace on Earth

Hello! It's been a few days since I last posted. I went down to FL to visit my mom and sister. It was HOT, HOT, HOT down there!!

I couldn't wait to get back on my Christmas cards once I got back. I have quite the stack growing so I won't be rushing around at the last minute.

I created this little scene with Flora & Fauna stamps from the Home for the Holidays stamp set. I can't get enough of this moose!! I made his car purple and I am sending this to my sister since she has always wanted a purple car! LOL

The Crafter's Cafe's challenge is school related or coffee or tea

This week's challenge at The Crafter's Cafe is school related or tea or coffee. I chose this graduation cap by Eureka Stamps and you can find the digi here. I colored the cap with my C9 Copic marker then wrote "Class of 2019" using my white Signo uni-ball pen. The flowers background is like a huge piece of washi tape I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby. This card went together super fast!

I would love to see your creations at The Crafter's Cafe.

This is a "new to me" technique and I found this you tube video showing me how to make this black embossed magic card. First, I stamped the image using Versamark ink onto black cardstock. I added the WOW white embossing powder (I really think WOW is the best embossing powder out there!), dried it with my heat tool till it was shiny and then I colored the bear and grass using my copic markers. Different shades of green for the grass and different shades of brown for the bear. Worked like magic!!

A sympathy card I made using this Concord & 9th flower stamp set. I colored it with my tombow markers and water. I love how that bright blue flower pops right off the card!

For this card, I did a technique I learned from Lydia's you tube video called Duoprinting with Chlorophyl and you can see her video here. This plant is called a Boxwood and I went outside and pulled off some branches and put them through my Big Shot and voila! A neat leaf impression.
I love doing this technique for sympathy cards.
