Color Me Money Christmas card: FFC21

Hello!  I hope this post finds you well, and ready for the weekend. : ) Last Saturday, I drove down to Kansas to visit my sister and my niece who turned one last month.  It was so nice to see them!  My niece is so sweet, and I am so glad I made the trip. Wish we lived closer.
Ok, onto my post: Tonight, I decided to play along with the FESTIVE FRIDAY challenge blog.  The challenge is to make a Christmas card using Red, White and Aqua.  Here's what I came up with:
This is a money card holder that will fit into a regular sized legal envelope.  Some of my Christmas recipients will get the real thing: cash. : )   I took the picture just a few minutes ago, on my stamping table which really isn't set up for taking quality pictures.  Such is life. 
e
 I stamped the tree in Black Stazon ink and water colored it with my aqua painter and Pool Party ink. I then added Red Liquid Pearls to the bulbs. When it was dry,  I fussy cut it out. I also free hand cut the snow and sponged it with Pool Party.  Dazzling Diamonds glitter was added to the tree and snow. The Music Notes where wheeled onto a piece of blank white card stock using Pool Party.  To finish off the card (and for fun), I added some white sequins as snow. : )
RECIPE
STAMPS: Color Me Christmas, Music Notes wheel
INK: Black Stazon and Pool Party
PAPER: Whisper White, Pool Party and Real Red
ACCESSORIES: Aqua Painter, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Pool Party Seam Binding Ribbon and Sequins.
 Happy Stamping!!

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
