A Classic Car

Once again, time has gotten away from me and I missed my Monday PPRS post.  This summer has been going crazy fast and I am having a hard time keeping up.  Today, I am using the Ford Ranchero stamp from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  I was inspired by Michelle's coloring of the vehicle, so I copied her color theme.  I used Graphic 45 decorator paper in the background with some Washi tape and thin hemp for added decoration.  The sentiment is from the Scalloped Circle Oval 5 clear set. and I cut out the fancy oval using the Flourished Oval Nesting Die.  Hope you can check out more card ideas on our PPRS blog.  Look for our blog hop featuring the New Holiday Release coming soon!

Snowflakes are Fragile

Christmas is past and the New Year has arrived.  There is still a chill in the air and there are sure to be some more flakes coming our way.  Here is the Large Snowflake from Prickly Pear Rubber Stamps.  I embossed it with white embossing paper on light blue cardstock.  Then I mounted it on the blue snowflake paper from Graphic 45.  The snowflake sentiment was bigger than I wanted to use on the front of the card, so I stamped just the top portion on this white tab.  Then I stamped the bottom portion on another piece of white paper and added it to the inside of the card.

If you want more inspiration with the Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps, we are now out on Pinterest!  There are lots of beautiful samples out there and more added weekly.  Also check out the PPRS blog to see what the Design Team has created for you each Monday.

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #33

Here it is...My Tuesday sketch! This was outside my comfort zone, but I liked the results. I used just the Santa head from my Santa's Presents stamp and colored it. Then I used the 2 biggest Label 3 nesties for the frame, but it was too bid, so I used the next size smaller. Now I had the other label sitting on my desk and decided it would be perfect if I cut it in half and used them as my diangle strips of paper. Talk about using all the scraps :) All papers were from Graphic 45, giving the card a more vintage feel. I still felt that it was too plain, so I added the pine branchs punched out from McGill. Then I used 3 red brads to add for berries. Thanks for looking!

A New challenge!

I just found this new challenge. When I saw the name of this challenge, I knew it was for me!! Cute cards-Yay! This challenge is theme oriented. The challenge is to make aperture cards, which when I looked up the definition was...an opening, as a hole, slit, crack, gap, etc. I don't often make window "aperture" cards, so it was fun to do one again! I used the Martin the monkey for the inside. Then I masked him and airbrushed a mountain and skyscape for a background. Then I stamped Martin Swinging with extra leaves which I colored with Copics and cut out for the outside of the card. I stamped the swinging sentiment on a nestabilities label and attached with a ribbon.
Here is a better view of the inside:
