One More For Monday!

I've recently been playing with Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and have enjoyed it - sometimes we need a little kick in the pants to think outside our comfy boxes.

This week's challenge is "Whatever the Weather" and I decided to make a shaped card, something that I rarely do. I love rainbows and this one is from Honey Bee called Rainbow Dreams.

This is certainly a sparkly rainbow - I used some terrific glitter paper (glitter flakes are not allowed in my house!). I don't see a bucket of gold anywhere, do you? Ha! I guess that happens next month for St. Patty's Day.

Have a colorful day and thanks for the visit!

 Whatever the Weather

Good morning! I have another post for the current Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. This stamp is a very old, long retired stamp from Hero Arts. I was one of that wonderful company's first customers (Yes, I am old!) and I have never been able to get rid of this stamp. I've always loved cities and, in fact, my career was city planning.

I thought it would be fun to add some silliness to the cloudy sky. The rainbow is watercolored and so happy!

Have a great day and thanks for the visit!

 All Kinds of Weather

This week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is "Whatever the Weather". it sure has been a year of crazy and problematic weather in so many places.

This little fella makes my heart happy and I enjoyed coloring it with Copic markers. I used both some inking techniques and some patterned paper for the background and added some clouds with "silver linings".

Have a sunny day and thanks for the visit!

With Wheels

 This week’s Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is “Things With Wheels”. This gave me the perfect excuse to get out my new Elizabeth Crafts Dogs Dies and stamps. The detail on these dies is amazing and the cute dogs are such fun to put together.

I blended Distress Inks onto the background and the dog. The Lawn Fawn Brick Stencil and Simon Says Stamp Flashy Flare 3D Embossing Folder (with touches of Sizzix Luster Wax) add depth and texture to the background.

My dog is a skater dude with a baseball hat, reflective sunglasses and an attitude!

The heat-embossed gold sentiment is from the Dog Days Sentiments.

 These sets have so much to offer and endless possibilities.

Thanks for the visit,
