Poppies

I'm a day late sharing this card inspired by Veterans' Day. I stamped the poppy image from Catherine Pooler Designs Grace in Bloom Stamp Set in Sand Castle Ink onto Ultra White Smooth cardstock and colored with Copic Markers using the no-line coloring technique. I then stamped a sentiment from Honey Bee Designs in S'mores Ink and then shaded the panel with Buttercream Ink using brushes.

I swiped Buttercream Ink onto a card base and then stamped a stripe with the Wonky Stripe Background Stamp. 

Thank you to all those that served our country!

MFT 2022 Superstar Contest Clean & Simple Genius Entry

I look forward to the MFT Superstar Card Contest every year, especially the CAS card category!

This is my entry for the 2022 MFT Card Design Superstar Clean & Simple Genius category.

I absolutely adore the Squirrel! Stamp Set from MFT, especially this cute squirrel image and sentiment. I am especially bad about sending birthday wishes and cards on time!

I masked a portion of the sentiment from Squirrel! off and stamped onto a MFT Lazy Day card base. I then stamped the squirrel image and acorn, and colored them with Prismacolor pencils.

I purposefully had the card focus be on the top and to the left, with a lit of "white" space on the right and bottom. I also used the "Rule of Three" using two images and one sentiment.

Such a great way to spend a rainy Saturday morning!

MFT Superstar 2022 Coloring Virtuoso Entry

It's a rainy day in Central Wisconsin...the perfect opportunity to spend the morning creating for the
2022 Card Design MFT Superstar Contest.

This is my entry for the Coloring Virtuoso. I had so much fun planning out a scene. I used the following stamp sets: You Gnome Me, Happy Hedgehogs and Ewe Are the Best.

Lots of masking at first, then stamping in a light blue ink onto MFT Blue Breeze card base. I colored the images with PrismaColor pencils, a black wax crayon and white paint pen.

It was truly fun to color! The look I was going for was between cartoon and storybook. I like working with Prismacolors because they are waxing and very blendable. I have a heavy hand when it comes to coloring so this style is my favorite.
