June Class Wild Cards

We had the best time at my card class this month! 

We made 8 cards featuring some of the new stamp sets, Designer Series Papers, cardstock colors, and coordinating Framelits dies and punches from Stampin' Up! 2018-2019 catalog!

This week I will be sharing these cards with you so that you can recreate them for yourself, or maybe they will inspire you to create something new! 

As always, if you click on the product name in the description, it will the you to my website where you can purchase it. 

Let's get started!

This first card features images from Animal Outing stamp set. The embossing is done using the Layered Leaves embossing folder, 2018-2020 In Color Designer Series Papers, Smoky Slate Cardstock, Call Me Clover Cardstock, and Pineapple Punch Cardstock and Whisper White Cardstock are the papers used. The image and sentiment were stamped in Basic Gray ink, and they were colored in and highlighted using Pool Party Stampin' Blends duo, Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends duo, and Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends duo, and Ivory Stampin' Blends. The frog image on the inside of this card was done using Call Me Clover ink. So cute!

This second card features images from the Sea of Textures stamp set. The embossing is done using the Scattered Sequins embossing folder. The papers used are Tranquil Terxtures Designer Series papers, Crumb Cake Cardstock, Night of Navy Cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, and Fresh Fig Cardstock. The Octopus image was stamped using Fresh Fig ink and the sentiment and coral image inside the card were stamped using Night of Navy ink. A Night of Navy twine bow and Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins in Pearl White and Soft Sea Foam give it that finishing touch.

I hope you will try these fun cards! I would love to see what you create and know what you think of my creations so feel free to comment. Questions are also welcome!

Jar of Love Color Inkspiration Challenge

I found a great new Facebook color challenge group, Color Inkspiration Challenge

For my first challenge #C134 with this group I chose the Jar of Love stamp set. The colors in this challenge were Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight and Basic Grey. I thought that this stamp set with assorted sizes of mason jars, the goldfish and flowers were perfect for this color combination. Using the coordinating Everyday Jars framelits jars to cut out the images made this a super easy project to put together!

You can order any or all of the products used to create this project and more by clicking on the name in the description above which will take you to my demonstrator website.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! Check back soon for more art and inspiration!

Prince of the Forest

I finally finished this Prince of the Forest painting I started last month!

We were away visiting family and 2 days after we got home my almost 16 year old cat woke up that evening with fully dilated eyes and couldn't see. She has hyperthyroidism and hypertension us one of the side effects that she developed. This caused partial retinal detachment in both her eyes. We now have her on medication to control her blood pressure and after 5 days she seems to be regaining some of her sight, and her eyes are reacting more normally to light. So thankful to the doctors that we take her to! 

I was finally able to get back in my studio today to complete this 12" x 12" mixed media canvas. It will probably go on sale in my Etsy shop later this month. 

Thanks for stopping by today!
