Fantastical fun

 

This card is in honor of my nephew, who loves fantasy. I used the Waffle Flower Open Book die, Dragon Castle coloring stencil, and Open Book Sentiments stamp set. I used Gina K. inks in Blue Denim, Red Hot, and Sweet Corn for the dragon and book. The gold accents are done with Simon Hurley’s Lunar Paste in Slippery When Wet and the background is Hero Arts Bold Script. All the black ink is Tsukineko VersaFine Onyx Black.

A tisket, a tasket

 

This card combines stenciling with paper piecing to convey the season without words. I stenciled the sky using Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass and Lawn Fawn’s Cloudy stencil, then trimmed it with Lawn Fawn’s largest Stitched Rectangle.I then inked a panel with Distress Ink in Evergreen Bough and trimmed it with the largest Stitched Rectangle and a Grassy Hillside Border. The basket is also by Lawn Fawn, their Eggcellent Easter Basket. I cut the outline from white and filled it in with the different colors. The large eggs are the Mini Egg set by Waffle Flower.

Happy Mail

 I used the new Postage Collage Coloring set from Waffle Flower for today's card. The inks are from a variety of companies, mostly Gina K. and Concord & 9th. The coordinating die cuts the perforations around the stamps. Now to make some holiday cards-or do my Crop & Create September 2023 homework-I can't decide which! The Crop & Create event will be here before I know it, so I should probably work on that. But I really don't want to run out of time for all the holiday cards I want to make like I did last year. Such are the decisions of a carmaker!
