Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a couple of cards from the 
NEW release by Blue Knight Stamps.  The stamp I'm
creating with is called Blossoming Branches!!! So pretty!!

create the card background.  I used Dictionary Page and Tell Me

The silhouette branches, at the bottom of the card, are from the
Silhouette Birds & Branches set.

New dies with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing two new dies, that go with stamps in
the Blue Knight Stamps line. Remember Beach Fences,
well there is a die for the three fences. Also the Rural Mailbox stamp
 has a die for the mailbox and hanging leaves.
So here is my inspiration~

 

I used the Flamingo and Wild Grass as my scene.  I stamped and die cut 
the fences and added them to the card front. I used the two broken down
 fences for this.  They were perfect!

Other Blue Knight products used are: Sun and Moon stamp thru stencil, 
Flock of Birds, One Line Sentiments/happy any day and

panpastels.

This die comes with the leaves and the mailbox. Because of that I spread
the hanging leave across the front of the card.  Easy when you have a die!!
The scene stamp is called Through the Woods.  The sentiment
is One Line Sentiments/friends rock. Also used is Daring Adventure
stamp and die. die.  The card is colored with panpastels.

Sun / Moon Stamp Thru Stencil by Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a couple cards using the NEW 
Sun and Moon Stamp Thru Stencil Set by 
Blue Knight Stamps.  I'm using this as a
element to create a mixed media type background
for a card or tag.

I really had fun with this stencil.  You can do lots of things with a circle.
It makes a great sun or moon but also a great background element.

I stamped a scenery stamp The  Avenue in a light gray ink.  I then added 

the circles and colored with Distress Oxide inks.  I just went with
coordinating colors.  The sentiment is added along with the
"critters".  I used Forrest Animals:Raccoon and Fox, Birds ll, 
Family is Everything, One Line Sentiment/friends rock and 
Buck, Doe and Fawn. Lots of stamps!!! I speckled with black acrylic
 paint.

This one was really fun to create.  Love the color combo and using the 
sun and moon stamp thru stencil made for a mixed media looking
background for this card.  Pick out coordinating inks and go for it!!
The focal image is Tall Pines, great stamp. The Hibiscus flower is from
More Precious set.  I added the Dictionary Page BG over the stencil
work. The sentiment is One Line Sentiment/Did you know...
To complete the card it is speckled with white acrylic paint.

more in the store).  All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives
