Introducing Cloudbank 15 ~poem journal

Hi guys!
Exciting times for sure. Who would have ever
thought my creation would be the cover of Cloudbank 15?
Surely not me, but I'm so grateful that it was perfect
for this publication.

My only connection with this publication is the cover because
my gift is not writing poetry.  But it has opened my eyes to
this beautiful style of writing.  I'm reading the book!!

I want to thank Cloudbank (Michael) for this wonderful 
opportunity.  Having a COVER was the last thing on my
creative list, so I either keep going or stop :):) 

Cloudbank 15 

This card was also published in RubberStampMadness a few
months ago.  Supplies used : Blue Knight Rubber Stamp/ Campsite

Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Thanks for letting me gush!!!

The Light of the World by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys! 
Today is my turn to share with you two
cards created using the newly released stamp
The Light of the World by Blue Knight Rubber
Stamps.  Both cards are colored with
PanPastels and speckled with acrylic paint
(black and white).

The Sunrise & Sunset card is stamped with Versafine ink and
used on a stamping platform.  It is best to use a stamping
platform when creating with silhouette stamps so the 
image can be re-stamped several times, to get a crisp image.
The second card is colored with PanPastels/Day & Night set
and stamped with Versafine ink.  Pixie Dust is used on the
star on both cards. Adhesive used is by Scrapbook Adhesives by
3L.

Adding Stamps to Scrapbook Pages~

Hi guys!
I wanted to share a couple of scrapbook pages that I used
stamps on to create the embellishments for the pages. Another
reason I'm a big fan of stamps ~

I used 4 different stamps by Blue Knight Rubber Stamp to create 
elements that go with the grid pattern paper.  

The center image is two stamps put together to create the block
 for focal on the page.  The 3 stamps shown here are:
Silhouette Corner Foliage, Chickadee in the Woods and 
 Silhouette Sportsmen.

The forth stamp used is called Silhouette Stag. The inside page is 
10" X 10". I was able to put it on a Stamp platform so I could
re-stamp the silhouette images several times.  I used Versaclair/
Onyx Black.

On this page I used  3 stamps to help with
embellishing this page. The focal consists of: Boys with Pets,
Momma Bear and Titus, The Great Adventurer. 
Both pages are adhered with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Bird on Fence by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys! 
Today is my turn to share the newly released
stamp called Bird on Fence by 
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  Both cards are
colored with PanPastels but I used different types of
paper. 

The light colored card is stamped on a matt finish cardstock
by Tim Holtz. It has a shine and slick feel to it. The PanPastels
work great, just gives the card a softer look.  
The darker colored card is stamped on mixed media cardstock
with Archival ink. Both cards are speckled with white acrylic 
paint.  I use adhesive by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to
adhere the cards.
