My Happy Stamping Place

Hippo Hooray!

I felt like making a card with a sketch.  I found this simple sketch on 2 Sketches 4 You and gave it a go.  I dusted off a set I haven't touched in ages, Pun Fun, and used some of the Tropical Party designer paper from the Summer mini.  This paper is only available through August 31 so hurry on over to my online ordering website to get some of your own!

 Recipe:  Stamps: Pun Fun

Ink: Jetblack Stazon, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red, Pear Parfait

Paper: Crumb Cake, Tropical Party designer paper, watercolor paper, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise

Other:  Aquapainter, Brights glitter brads(from the upcoming Holiday mini!), pumpkin pie designer paper

My house in in a shambles.  We are making some bold changes in the wall colors and I'm loving the look of it!  I'm going to be adding some of the Stampin' Up! Decor'Elements to spruce up the decor after the paint sets.  The kitchen is painted Terracotta orange and the entry way and family room is kind of a Soft Suede.  They look great together! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Vintage Witch

I'm still on a Halloween roll. I wanted to create a vintage look with this cute little wtich from the Greeting Cards kid stamp set.  I used an aquapainter and inkpads to color her in.  Then I created a mask around the image and sponged on Not Quite Navy ink to look like the night sky.  Then I distressed the whole image with the new distress kit - I used tea stain and the rubber stamp in the kit to do this.

Recipe:  Stamps: Greeting Card kids, Fang-tastic(greeting)

Ink:  Jet black Stazon, Not quite Navy, crumb cake, tangerine tango, concord crush, more mustard, old olive, chocolate chip

Paper: Basic Black, watercolor paper, whisper white, tangerine tango, Nite Owl designer paper from the Holiday mini

Other:  distress kit, large oval punch, scallop oval punch, stampin' dimensionals, spider web embossing folder, aquapainter, Scallop Squares duo sizzix die(Holiday mini)

We're going to fill this Summer day with some fun!  My daughter is going horse back riding, my son, Sam, wants to go to the skate park and has a soccer game tonight. I hope you enjoy your day as well!

Thanks for stopping by!
