CONGRATS

Hello all!

 

I was dabbling a bit with my Gansai Tambi water colors this afternoon and ended up creating this card which I will be linking up to several current challenges.

My card features Hennah Elements by Altenew and the splatters came from an image by MFT called Distressed Patterns. Several clear sequins were also added.

 

Have a great day!

Hello

Welcome friends!

 

I though I would squeeze in one more card tonight.

 

For my card today I stenciled an old Impressability by Spellbinders called Pebbles with various distress inks on a die cut stitched rectangular wafer die by Simon Says Stamp. I don't think they make these anymore. They were made of thin metal and bend easily out of shape.

 

I die cut the Hello die by PTI in white and dark grey and off centered the two when adhering together to give it a shadow effect. The sentiment is also by PTI from the mini Wonderful Words: Hello. I added a silver thread nest behind the Hello.

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Hugs ~ Rema

 This week we would like to see cards with a snowman/snowmen in our gallery.

 

 

 

For my card this week I pulled out one of the first rubber Christmas stamps I ever bought. The name on the woodblock is worn off but I know its from a company in Minnesota called Northwoods Rubber Stamp Company. They offer a variety of beautiful detailed stamps in rubber.

I did some coloring using Prisma Colored Pencils.
