Tall Birch Trees by Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing my last project using Tall Birch Trees
by Blue Knight Stamps.   This stamp has so many possibilities
to design different scenes.  The road is great for added in silhouette
images or wheels :):).

The first card I added in wheels and the second deer!!!

Both cards are colored using panpastels, the difference is
what I put on the road.  This card is using the jeep from
Daring Adventure Stamp & die set.  A single stag buck is
stamped from the Pines and Deer set, watching the jeep
 from behind. 

The inspiration came from our heard of deer on the ranch
 This is how we feed them, on a road, and they come
 out to eat, just X ten:):).  I added in the Reverse Sentiments,
Sun/Moon Circle Stencil and the deer are from the Pines
and Deer set and the Majestic Pine. 
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Family Background Stamp by Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing my third project for Blue
Knight Stamps.  I'm using The Family BG stamp.
Super cool!!! I had so much fun with it I did
three cards.  Couldn't stop:):)

These cards are all created in the same way, just used different
silhouette stamps to stamp over the Family BG.  You could 
change up the background inks, for a different look also.

Day at the Lake was used on this one, also some of
the words were highlighted.  I stamped several of the
Family BG out and cut the words I wanted to highlight
on the card front. I used dimensional adhesive for that.

Silhouette Birds on Branches was used on this card.  I
stamped all three sizes of the stamp.  Again highlighting
a phrase from the Family BG stamp.

I added Reverse Sentiments, Praise Him, Silhouette Grasses
and Silhouette Cattails to the front of this card.  Again
using "Family" from the Family BG stamp in  my
sentiments.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

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.
