Art Impressions Monthly Guest Designer Challenge #11 Frame It!

 


I'm joining the Art Impressions Monthly Guest Designer Challenge with the adorable Doggy Kisses Set (AiCS38).  I love the adorable images and humorous sentiments included in this set.  It is perfect for a Get Well card that I needed this week for a friend who had surgery.

The image was stamped on Stampin' Up! Crumble Cake and colored with Prismacolor pencils.  The papers retired SU In-Color Calypso Coral (2011-2013).

I created the frame with a Spellbinder die and doodled border.

I would like to share my card with the following:

HMFMC #427 Anything Goes - Option Lovely Leaves

 

I'm playing along with the current challenge at House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge with their option of Lovely Leaves.  My card features an older wood mount House-Mouse Designs stamp called Mice Landing (1994).

The image was stamped onto Stampin' Up Natural Ivory (discontinued) card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils.  An ink blended frame was created with Distress Inks and a Maple Leaf Stencil from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  I finished the card simply with a few gems and sentiment from Stampin' Up! Express Yourself Hostess set (retired).

Beccy's Place October New Release - Country Christmas

 


Beccy has designed another holiday inspired set this month called Country Christmas.  You can find this digital set at Beccy's Place online store now.

I've created two project featuring the new set.  The first clean and simple card was printed onto kraft card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils.  Stickles were added for dimension.  I really liked how the hanging stars fit perfectly onto the sentiment!

A second project started by recycling a wood block which was left over after removing the rubber mounted stamp.  The block was painted with acrylic paint.  The pre-colored image was merged onto  sheet music then printed and glued to the block.  Additional paints and splatter were added.  I finished with the burlap ribbon edging and Stickles on the ornaments.

Be sure to stop by Beccy's Place store to find this set and many others.  Beccy also generously provides many free digital images, tutorials, videos and card fold ideas.   Beccy also offers her designs in clear sets.  You can find a list of retailers on her blog as well.
