Happy Snowman

Hello! I was inspired to make this card by the Challenge #49 at The Library Challenge.  We are to pick any previous book from the library and I chose The Snowman by Raymond Briggs.  The cover reminded of very happy snowman stamp from Creative Clear stamps that I have had for many years. The colors that I chose to use were also inspired by the cover but I threw in the yellow to keep this it a very cheerful card.  I stamped the Snowman and Sentiment with Memento Black ink on White CS and colored with Copics, added some shine with the clear star pen, and texture with a snow marker. Trimmed the image with a Spellbinders die and attached to a yellow panel embossed with Darice Snowflakes EF before adding a white card base. 

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Halloween CAS

Hello! It feels like winter is here this morning...temps in the 30's. It may be a cold night to Trick n Treat later this month. My CAS card today was inspired by the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge #145 shown on right.   I stamped the word BOO! from a Mark's Finest Papers Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added sparkle with Clear Star pen to each letter.  The Ghost Stamp from the same set was embossed with Black Ink and Clear EP on Vellum and fancy cut and colored with Copics.  To add some spookiness, I punched the edge of the White CS with a Martha Stewart Punch before attaching to an Orange Card Base.

Other Challenges:
Addicted to CAS: #74 Code Word Sparkle.  I am showing a close up photo ( not color correct) below so that you may see the sparkle of Clear Star pen on the words in the card.

Where Is the Sun?

Third Post today:
From Christmas to Sunshine is where my posts are going today.  I just had to play with the Less Is More Challenge this week and time is almost up to enter. The theme is Hello Sunshine!  I made a quick and easy card using stamps from Mark's Finest papers with Memento inks and a Clear Star pen.  I drew in the sun rays with a Dandelion Marker and Clear Star and edged the white CS with a Black Marker before adding the Yellow card base.
