Seascapes

 
 
The CAS challenge today at The Outlawz was a seascape challenge. Whenever I think of a card having to do with the sea, I go to my Art Impressions beach penguins. These two are enjoying their dreams of sitting on the beach during this cold, cold winter.

The challenge at the House Mouse and Friends Monday challenge this time was to use a House Mouse stamp you had never used before.

I colored with copics and used glitter on all the tape.

Make it Fancy

 
 
The Paper Ala Mode Challenge at The Outlawz this week was to make it fancy. My idea of making it fancy was to add lots of flowers. The image is from Penny Black. The cows kind of look like the cows at Hershey!

Winter Wonderland

 
The Friday Alcohol Marker Challenge at The Outlawz this week was "Winter Wonderland". The images are from Memory Box. I stamped the mountains several times for the background. I used mulberry paper for the snow at the base of the card. The mountain tops, snow, and clouds all have Sparkle-n-Fluff from Sparkle-n-Sprinkle on them. I cut out the polar bear and penguin and popped them up.

New Baby

 
I am the guest designer on The Outlawz CAS challenge for the month of January. The theme for the first challenge was something new. I needed to create a card for something new. I decided to make a baby card. I stamped the outfit and colored it with copics. For once in my life, I actually picked out my DP first so that the image matched the paper!

Lady With a Hat

 
 
The Twisted Thursday challenge on The Outlawz this week was "Lady with a Hat." I used one of my Marci stamps from La La Land stamps to make this card. I colored here with copics and then cut her out. I embossed both the card base and layer with the clouds. I then place Marci so that she was stepping out of the card.

Card in a Box

 
The Paper Ala Mode challenge on The Outlawz this week was "Anything Goes." The tutorial on Split Coast Stampers this week was a "Box Card." It looked interesting and I had some time, so I tried it. It was a fun card to do. The box lays flat so that it can be mailed.
