Country Life - Blue Knight

My Blue Knight  Country Life Stamp was still on my craft table so I decided to make another card with it.  This time I used distress oxide inks to color the whole image with the exception of the grass and trees which were colored with a copic marker.  The inks I used were Peacock Feathers, Pickled Raspberry, Seedless Grape, Mustard Seed and Rusty Hinge.

My friend Verna gave me the idea of coloring the image with the oxide distress inks.  The card she made doing this was beautiful.  I gave it a try and liked it.

Blue Knight - Country Life

I am sharing a card with you that I made using Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  The name of the stamp is Country Life.  I know sometimes you look at a stamp and think "Oh, that is going to be hard to color".  This stamp is not hard to color, it actually did not take a long time to do it.  My background took a little longer because I messed it up twice and had to redo it.  It was an easy fix as I just cut my colored image from the sky, mounted it on another piece of card stock that I had already prepared the sky.  I made the sky by applying oxide inks with my Clarity Brushes.    I used Fossilized Amber, Worn Lipstick and Broken China.  I colored my truck with copic markers.  (YR4,7,9)

Thank you, so much, for taking time out of your busy day to view my blog.

Beach Bunny Cards

School is starting, in most places, this week.  It is hard to believe that summer is almost over.  It has gone so fast.   Our five year old grandson will be starting kindergarten.   That makes me sad.  I would like to keep him little a bit longer.   

Today I am sharing some cards I made using the Life's A Beach stamp by The Cat's Pajama's.  I had fun working with this little beach bunny.  I colored the images with copics and did some Paper Piecing.  The cards all have a different design and colors.  

 Thank you, for coming by.

Misty Mountains

I made this card for one of the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers.
I started out by brushing ink over my card stock using Clarity Brushes.  I stamped  the Misty Mountain stamp over the inked card stock.  I stamped the balloons and boats, I colored them with
Copic markers and fussy cut them.  I used Blue Knight Rubber stamps.  (Misty Mountain, Hot Air Balloon and Beach Chairs and Accessories)

Thanks, for coming by.

Java Jane - Coffee Understands

Someone is having a birthday.  Java Jane is trying to smooth things over by saying Coffee Understands.  The inside of my card says, "It's hard having another birthday at your age."

The background was made with water color paper.  I misted the paper with water and sprinkled Colors Bursts over it.  The image was colored with copics.  I added the white stars using white acrylic paint and a star stencil.

Thank you, for taking the time to come over and check out my card.
