Just Fur you - Monkey

This is my entry to the Gerda Steiner monthly challenge. The monkey is a fantastic digi-stamp, which I colored in using Copic markers. I found a sentiment that would go great with it, in the MFT stamp set 'I knead you'. This looks like a 'Happy' card to me :)

A Free Hello!

I just purchased the Splatters Stencil from Tim Holtz... I'm in love! I made 5 very similar cards to the above, just all in different colors... I used Distress Inks, the Stax die from MFT and a 'Hello' die I received for free with my order from MFT!

Happy Bird-day!

Here's another card made with the MyFavoriteThings I'm Tweet on you set!

I made my own background using the sentiment 'Happy Bird-day' from the stamp set and stamped this on Neenah yardstick in different colors. I colored in the birds using a mixture of Copic markers and Distress inks. I added a little bit of detail around the birds with some small silver sequins to pretend that the birds are playing in the water, but it's hard to see on the photo.

Just a Note - Tweet on You!

I bought the most adorable stamp set from MyFavoriteThings: I'm Tweet on You! I went a little crazy and tried a lot of new methods for me...

I challenged myself to use patterned paper, which I'm not very good at as I like things 'plain'.  I also used my Distress inks as water colors for the first time.

The branch I colored using my Copics, but the rest is all Distress Inks.

More Duckling fun!

Here's some more Duckling fun! I really love the Lucky Duck Stamp set from Gerda Steiner. This is my second card using the stamps in the set, and I'm sure some more will follow!

Hugs!

I love the 'Mom and Me' stamp set from Lawnfawn! It is so easy to make quick cards with them that look pretty cool (if I'm allowed to say so myself :)

Duck!

I loved the duck images from Gerda Steiner when I saw Maike's cards (Maikreations) when she was a guest designer. So here is the first Duck card I've made with the set. I'm sure you will see some more of these images on my cards soon :)

This was my first try at using Distress Inks as watercolor inks. I'm not very good at watercoloring (just yet :) but at least I've made a start! The duck and fish were colored in using Copic markers.

Yes... Really!

Here's a new card I made today in between my chores, based on this Jennifer McGuire video. I've since figured out that there's a slight difference in opinion depending on your cultural background; Americans seem to think this sentiment really sincere, whereas the British think this is very sarcastic! I guess it's up to you to decide who you are sending this to and for what reason :)
