White acrylic paint is splattered on the tag front for a distressed look.
Sentiments are from the  NEW Birthday Greetings set. I love

Let's Ride by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

 Hi Guys!
I have a fun one from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps 
called Let's Ride.  It will bring back good memories 
for those who drove a Volkswagen Bug. So cozy.....

The first card is created with Panpastels for the sky and coloring
of the scenery (Wetlands).  The Bug is stamped on white cardstock,
colored in with Distress Oxide ink and trimmed out.   The sentiment is
embossed on black cardstock with white embossing powder.
The second card is a repeating stamped image and colored in with  Distress
Oxide inks.  The checked border is a stencil. Add the sentiment, mat the 
card front and the card is completed.  Both cards are adhered with
adhesive by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

We would love to see you stop by~

Christmas Koala by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing cards created with the newly
released Christmas Koala by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

Both of the cards are created in the same way using the
same supplies, except for the paper.

This is watercolor paper/cold press card. The ink used is Distress
Oxide inks for added color.  The sentiment is stamped
with Archival/Jet black ink. Both cards are sized to a 
4" X 4" size.

The paper on this card is matt coated cardstock.  It has a slick
feel to it.  It makes the same inks look softer. I really love
the look.  The adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

  Would love to see you join us over on the
