Three "From the Herd"

Apr 282015

All three of today’s cards were made using the same stamp set. On this first card, the expression on this goat cracks me up!!!

This card was so much fun to make!

Here are the challenges entered with this card.

Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge: CC528

CAS on Sunday Challenge: #57 – White

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Clean and Simple

Papertake Weekly Challenge: Take Your Pick – White

Here is the second card.

After stamping the images with a water base ink, I colored the balloons with Copics. The inks ran and got a little messy, but I actually really like the way it looks. Love it when that happens.

And finally here is the third card… a super quick, clean and simple creation.

Thanks for dropping by today.
Happy Crafting!

Party Goose

I’ve had this wonderful goose image for quite some time. Finally put some ink to it and colored it up with Copics.

Happy Easter! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. I found a little more time to play with one of my new SU sets. The floral image is colored with Copics. The largest flower’s center is dotted with a white gel pen.
