Resting Fox by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I have a couple of cards to share, using the stamp called
Resting Fox by Blue Knight Rubber StampsIt is a cute
one!!! 


Card#1
The card on the left is colored with panpastels and stamped with
Archival /Jet black ink.  The background stamp is the NEWLY released
Bark background stamp.  The birds are from the Birds 2 set.
The fun sentiment is from the Clever Fox set. Such a fun one!!
 Super easy to recreate this card.  Dimensional adhesive was used by 
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Card#2
The second card is using the Dictionary Page background with
 the Resting Fox.  It is also colored with panpastels. The leaves are 
added from the Cute Koala set. The trunk of the tree is extended
so when the leaves were added they would hang over the tree trunk. 
 Love those leaves! 
The sentiment is a sticker by Tim Holtz.

Spring Wreath~

Hi guys!
I thought I would share  the fresh and new 
wreath I created tearing up an old wreath 
and added a bunch of flowers I had on hand.
The "star of the show" is a cross cut
from one of trees on the ranch.


I used wire and hot glue.  The cross is heavy so it had to
be wired in. 


 

Up close of the cross. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Just goes to show you can make
something out of stuff you have :):) I love doing that!!

Cute Koala by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I'm creating with a super cute stamp called Cute Koala
by Blue Knight Rubber StampsIt also has great leaves!!!


The left card is colored with Distress Oxide.  I stamped it twice
and cute out extra leaves to add dimension to the leaves. The sentiment 
is a word sticker by Tim Holtz.  
The card on the right is colored in with Panpastels.  I used
a Brick Wall (Darkroom Door) stencil to make the tree look like
it was next to a building.  The bottom leaves were cut out
and added in different places on the card front.  This card also 
has a word sticker for the sentiment.

Forever Friends by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

 Hi guys!
Today I'm creating with a NEWLY released stamp called
Forest Friends by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. Super cute!!
  It is framed out and because of 
that design, works well for a shaker card.
Card#1


To create the shaker card, stamp the image two times. Cut out the frame part
and color with Distress Oxide inks  what I used, but panpastels or
colored pencils will work). Glue  acetate film on the back of the frame
(sizing it to the size of the card). Take the second stamped print and
color in the Forest Friends. I used Distress Oxide inks.  Add dimensional
foam adhesive (seal off completely) to edges of the card front. Add sequins to the 
Forest Friends and then lay the card front over, sealing in the sequins. 
Add sentiment to the front of the card. 

Card#2
 

This card is stamped out and colored in with Distress Oxide
inks. The card front was matted and the sentiment added from 
the Daddy's Home set.
