Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #159

Hello!

It's time for a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More!! The challenge this week is CAS and we have Bugaboo Stamps as a sponsor!

I used the Beach Crab - Scuba Dive digi stamp, resizing it a bit (thought it would be smaller!) and printed it out. I used Spectrum Noir markers to color the cute crab. Then i cut it out with a stitched rectangle.

Then i used a Lawn Fawn alphabet set to spell out Crabby. To get the Don't Be i used a small Alphabet to spell it out. I stamped the Don't Be, then added the Crabby with foam tape.

Last i added the panel to a aqua colored card base that matched the water i colored.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #143

Hello!!

It's time for a new challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More!! The challenge this week is Holiday's!! Our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps and i am using the Spring Bird digital stamp. Make sure you play along with us for your chance to win 7 digi stamps!

I started by resizing the spring bird in Word, then i added my own sentiment, Happy Mother's Day. I picked out  fancy font from Word and moved the bird around until i liked the layout of the bird and sentiment. Then i printed it out and colored it up with Copic markers. I didn;t color the bird with any kind of bird in mind, if it matches a real bird out there it was not intentional!! hehehe!

I cut the bird out with a stitched rectangle. Next i wrapped some brown bakers twine around one side of the rectangle and tied it in a bow. Then i added a few glitter gems around the bird.

Next i found some pattern paper that matched the brown bakers twine, but i wanted it to be a little lighter so i went over the paper with a white pigment ink. This muted the paper nicely. I added the pattern paper to a white card base and last added the bird panel with foam tape!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope you will play along with us at Addicted to Stamps and More!!
