I’m a little late posting my middle-of-the-month DT card for the challenge at QKR Stampede. Stop by the challenge, which is always “Anything Goes” and several prizes are awarded. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself?

For this colorful card, I first printed the Eureka digi on a slimline card, colored it with alcohol markers, and my beloved Gelly Roll white gel pen then stenciled the sky with a handmade template, chalks, and a makeup sponge.

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Eureka Digi Stamp (Boy Balloon Holder)  Also available in unmounted or cling-mounted

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Balloon Rubber Stamps-Rubber Stampede (company out of business)

·   Cloudy sky created with a handmake template, chalks, and makeup sponge

·   Inside Sentiment- Computer Generated

·   Pioneer Black Photo corners- available from several sources

·   Rainbow ink pad, foam tape, and other items from my stash.

        Since I’m a DT for QKR/Stamp On It (sponsor), please don’t include me in the draw for their prize! 

I have a number of the adorable “Izzy” stamps from Di’s Digi. Although this one appears to be retired, you can find 46 digis of Izzy with her pets, friends, and more (and several are just $1 HERE) For this card I used a muted color scheme with just a few pastel accents, assorted snowflake stamps and dies, plus one sentiment. Love how it turned out with a soft yet wintery cold feel to it!

I’m entering this card into several challenges including The Paper Shelter “Waterwise” (my card features the crystalized form of water that I love seeing blanket the earth every winter!)  

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Di’s Digi Stamps (Snuggle Up Izzy) Retired

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white & silver gel pens

 STAMPlorations is a wonderful family-owned business, and I’ve enjoyed using their stamps, digis, and other products for several years. For this card I used two yummy cupcake digis, scraps of vellum, pretty ribbon, and a fun color palette.  
(An added note, I recently learned that STAMPlorations artist/owner Shery Russ was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer this past April. You can read about her journey and see some sweet family photos HERE. Shery is an amazing person who welcomes our support in several ways… including prayers!)
