For the Love of Gnomes!

Just located my camera. Thought I had lost it...... I'm taking another wonderful class from "Online Card Classes". The current series is on different types of masking. Today I experimented with paper masking and watercolor pencils. This class opens up endless possibilities. Please excuse my watercolor pencil work. It's obvious I need a class or some YouTube videos.

The stamp set is called "You Gnome Me"  I am obsessed with gnomes and have 8 so far on my front porch intermingled with my flowers. So cute!

It's "Stamp A Stack" time!

I know, I know.....it's pretty early to be talking about Christmas/Holiday cards but I must. While getting 2 new hips this summer I've had little to do but sit and make cards....darn  lol. 

This year like last year we will be doing a stamp a stack that will include the standard size card, gift cards, 3x3 cards and gift tags. The cards will come in sets of 5's that you order for $5.00. The 3X3 cards will be 12 for $5.00 and the tags will be 15 for $5.00. I am posting photos of the cards you may choose so you will have a chance to look and when we meet on 10.19.14, I will take your orders and have you ready to go when we meet in November. 

Here you go!

Peachy Keen Linky Challenge for June 2014

Here is my entry for the Peachy Keen Linky Challenge 14-10:

I used copic markers to color the Peachy Keen Circus Images:
G43, W3, RV06, R59, B45 and G29. The cardstock is from CTMH. The glitter is Doodlebug and the swirl embossing folder Darice. I don't use a white pen to accent as I find them unreliable. Instead I use white acrylic paint and a double point ended stylus. The dots were made with a pencil eraser and CTMH retired colors: Dutch Blue and Moonstruck.
There are 2 pictures one of the front and one inside.
