Never Have I Ever

 Happy Wednesday!

Never Have I Ever, isn't that the cutest name for a challenge?  That is the current challenge happening over at the Art Impressions Blog.  The challenge is to use a stamp or die that you have never used before.  That was an easy assignment for me because like many of us crafters, I have two hobbies, making crafts and collecting supplies. 

I went through my AI stash and found this very cute stamp set that I haven’t used yet and thought it would be a cute and quick birthday card.  You can never have enough of those!  

The stamp set I used is 5186 - Enjoy The Ride and selected the sweet bike with the bird perched on it  




The coloring was done with Copic markers and I added Nuvo drops as an accent. 

Hope you enjoy the rest of your week and thank you for stopping by for a visit!

Be Scary

 Happy Sunday!

This is the final stretch for the current bi-weekly challenge for Art Impressions - All A-Buzz Challenge.  I am doing a second submission using one of my favorite retired Art Impressions stamp sets #4521 - Be Scary.  She is so cute and so not scary 😁. 


Even though it isn’t Halloween I thought she was a cute addition to everything that buzzes. I also used #5414 - WC Small Rocks Set for the rocks,  #5190 - Fright Night Set for the spider web, and 5601 - Halloween Accessory Set for the spiders on the card front and for the background paper.

Coloring was done with Copic Markers, I also used Karin Decogel Metallic Pen in grey and Decogel MilkyWay pens in white, black, y. orange and yellow.

Thank you for stopping by.  Hope you have a great week!

All A-Buzz

 Happy Sunday!

This weekend I worked on the current Art Impressions Blog Challenge All A-Buzz.  For this project I decided to make a tag with a twist.  

I used #5728 - Mushroom Cubbies Stamp set for the images, #5132 - Tag Stitched Dies for the base tag and smaller tags. The fence cut in the middle of the tag is from #5719 - FB Fence Window Set Die.  Flowers are fussy cut from the Mushroom Cubbies set.  The bee “flying”in the middle is the front and back of bee from the same set with a string glued in-between to have it suspended in the air.

If you enter the challenge you have the potential of winning a free stamp set of your choice!  The challenges push me to try different things and is a lot of fun. You should give it a try. 

Hope you like my project and I appreciate you stopping by for a visit!
