Creating a new space~

Hi guys!
I'm in a cleaning and re-arranging mood.  I have been
feeling crowded and no room to expand when I create.
So... I fixed that last night.

This is a vintage hospital examining table for a baby.  It is now
my die cutting station.  Waiting on a new machine to 
arrive.   I tell you all about as soon as it comes!
I love to re-arrange and make a room look different
 and fresh!
So back at it! 
Have a great day!

Best of 2022 coming !
Connie

Resting Fox by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

 Hi!
For my last Winter themed card for Blue Knight
Rubber Stamps I will be creating with Resting
Fox.  Love this stamp. Really is a cute one!

The card front is colored with panpastels.  I used a little from all
three sets that Blue Knight carry.  The Sunrise & Sunset, Night &
Day and Pastel set..

I also used the Birds ll set and One Line Sentiments/blessings. I used
a white marker for highlights. 
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

All four Winter cards for the month of December!

A Christmas Tag With A Jillian Vance Design~

 Hi!
This is my final project for A Jillian Vance Design.  I have
enjoyed guest designing and creating with their dies
and stamps.  I'm using the Classic Candle Die, But First
Coffee, Simply Said: Coffee & Jesus, Light of Christmas
and the Diamond Plate Stencil to create a mixed media
Christmas tag. 

The background is distress oxide inks (brown tones) and the 
Diamond Plate Stencil. All of the embellishment pieces are
die cut out and distressed with acrylic white paint.  The coffee stains
are randomly stamped on the tag front using distress oxide ink.

The die cut embellishments are arranged on the tag front
and adhered. The coffee cup is from the Simply Said: 
Coffee & Jesus set. The flower is masked off so the
cup stamps plain, with no design.  The word "Joy" is
stamped in the center.  The words and sentiment are from
the Light of Christmas Stamp set. A fabric strip
and twine are added to the top of the tag.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

My December projects!
Thanks for stopping by!

Ski Lodge by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

 Hi!
For the month of December I will be sharing 
Winter themed cards using Blue Knight Rubber
Stamps.  For my third card this month I will be
creating with  Ski Lodge. Such a cool stamp!!!

I used  the Day & Night panpastels to color the sky and the Ski
Lodge.  The Sun is colored with the Sunrise & Sunset panpastels.
A circle mask & stencil were used to create the Sun. The card is
distressed with acrylic white paint.  The paint also gives a snowy
effect on the jeep.

I also used the Daring Adventure set (jeep) & NEW dies.  The
sentiment is from the One Line Sentiment/blessings. The
bird is from the Birds ll set.
