Grace & Peace by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing two cards created using the Grace & Peace
 stamp by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. 
It is a beauty!!!

Both of the cards are created using PanPastels and
a small circle stencil mask.  I love the look of this card!!!

Card#1~
  

As the background was being created using the PanPastels the

mask was placed to created a half circle. When the background

was completed the mask was lifted leaving a blank space for

 the sentiment.

Card#2~

The same technique as above, except the mask was placed over the giraffe
 after the image was stamped on the mixed media cardstock.  The sentiment
was stamped on cardstock, trimmed out and added to the card front
using dimensional adhesive.
Products used:
 Blue Knight Rubber Stamps: Grace & Peace
PanPastels:  Sunrise & Sunset

other: mixed media cardstock, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L,

Darkroom Door (sm circle stencil)

Walk by Faith with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I have a couple of cards to share using the Walk by Faith
stamp by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

I usually shy away from purple but in this case it was needed.  I love
what the color purple added to this card.  The sentiment is awesome too!!! 

 Card#1

The sky was added using the colors from the Day & Night of PanPastels.
The elephant image was stamped several times using a stamping platform.
The trick is getting a strong ink coverage for the silhouette elephants.

Card#2 ~

The second card was created the same way except the purple was left out and a deep
blue was added. It is kind of a royal blue. Very pretty!!

Products used: Blue Knight Rubber Stamps: Walking by Faith
PanPastels:  Day & Night set
other: twine, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, cardstock

Hi guys!
I have a cutie to share today.  This is one of the newly released
stamps by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps called Sloth!  Love the
sentiment that comes with the stamp ~perfect!!!!

Card#1 ~

The card on the left is colored with PanPastel's and the card on the

right is colored with Distress Oxide ink watered down.

I used the Day & Night set by PanPastel. The colorless blender comes

in handy when blending the colors.

After the card was colored using the Distress Oxides ink, the edges were torn
and then adhered using dimensional adhesive to add dimension to
 the card front.  Extra leaves were stamped out and placed around
the sentiment.

Palm Tree Beach by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I have a couple of cards to share using the newly released Palm Tree Beach
 by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  This is a really fun stamp and I 

enjoyed creating with it.  The PanPastels are perfect for adding color
to this stamp.

Card #1~
I started with this color pallet ~

Added color and then blended it out with the colorless blender by PanPastel.

I used the Sunrise & Sunset set by PanPastel.  Tags were added with dimensional
 adhesive for that extra pop.  To get the white foam look, on the water, use an
eraser to remove some of the color at the tip of of the water waves.

God's Treasures by Joy Clair Stamps~

Hi guys!!
Today it is my turn on the Joy Clair Blog.  I'm creating with the
 God's Treasures set and it is super cute!!! I created three different cards,
using different techniques for the card background.

The first card example is a mix of blue green colors to represent the ocean and then a brown mix to represent the beach sand.  The treasure chest is stamped on the beach and gemstones are added, with sparkle, to enhance the treasure chest.  All three cards were matted with coordinating cardstock and then adhered to a folded card.

The second card is an example of the Distress Oxide ink applied with a sponge and then spritzed with water, so droplets form, creating an interesting background.  The stamping is done over the background and then colored in with watered down Distress Oxide ink.  The gemstones are stamped out on scrap cardstock, trimmed out and adhered with 3D dimensional adhesive.  The images are high lighted with a glitter pen.

The third card is an example of a mixed color background.  The Distress Oxide ink is watered down and the paper is laid in the mix of color.  The concept is to layer the colors, on the heavy cardstock, drying with a heat tool after each color.  This makes it easy to add more color when needed.  The stamping is done over the background.  The images were stamped out, trimmed and then adhered to the card front with 3D dimensional adhesive.

Abstract 07 by Darkroom Door ~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing a couple of cards created using the newly
released Abstract 07 by Darkroom Door.  It is a fun one and so many
ways to create with it.

These cards were so fun to create.  I used the Abstract 07 stamp to create a
 messy  background with of distress Oxide inks and a bunch of Darkroom
Door stamps.  The background is stamped on mixed media paper so it can
take the ink  better than most papers.   I just layered using stamps and the ink
until I got the look I wanted.  The background for the Bird House card was created
and then cut into 1 1/2" squares and adhered to card front. 

Products used:Darkroom Door: #hello card: Abstract 07, Grunge Marks, Whimsical Words,
Number Medley.

Ink: Distress Oxide ink and Archival
other: mixed media paper, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L / 3D Foam Squares and
E-Z Runner Grand
Darkroom Door: Bird House card: Abstract 07, Friendship Sentiment stamp,
Lots of Labels, Bird Houses, Garden Birds and Number Medley.
Ink: Distress Oxide inks
