Sweet Enjoyment, 3CTC35

It is becoming quite chilly are here these past couple of days. I have kept my activities inside because of it. I was cleaning out a stash of cards that I made quite a while ago. Many were favorites that I made out of season or just wasn't sure what to do with it, so I tucked them away until now. When I saw what Kerry's Thursday challenge, 3CTC35, was I knew this card would be perfect for it. Kerry's challenge this week is a card inspired by nature. I am sure mice love corn picking time. They all fill their tummies for the long winter right around the corner.

I fell in love with this stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms. I was just starting to color with my Copics and thought it was perfect for coloring with them and the mice were just soo cute! I actually love all the Friendly Critters stamps. I didn't put any saying on the front because I wasn't sure what fit but before it finds a new home I'll find something suitable. I have to laugh because I noticed that the sky was made with Prisma colored pencils and Gamsol, it was before I owned a Cloud Maker which I couldn't live without now.

Supplies
Stamps: Cornish Heritage Farms
Papers: SU Really Rust, Always Artichoke, GP White, DP Flair Designs inc.
Inks: Copics, Prisma Colored Pencils and Gamsol
Accessories:SU Slot Punch, CTMH Leaves, LSS Ribbon

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Please let me know what you think of one of my early Copic colorings. I really appreciate all your wonderful comments.

Enjoy your day,

Beauty in Bloom

This is another of the cards that I did while we spent the weekend in Vermont stamping. When I saw this flower in my LSS I fell in love with it. I love to garden and spent the whole day yesterday outside getting my gardens in tiptop shape. It didn't hurt that I had my son and husband out there with me digging up and moving plants where I wanted them, prepping the beds for new plants and cleaning up after me! This card reminds me of my flowers!

The stamp is one of the new ones from Cornish Heritage Farms. I colored it with Copics in my favorite colors and brushed on Stickles with a brush so I had a hint of sparkle on the flower. I also used my favorite paper from Magenta, it has soft blues, purples and a touch of yellow, pink and green in it. I added the pearl strand for just a touch of elegance.

Supplies:

Stamps: Cornish Heritage Farms, Hero Arts

Paper: SU Bliss Blue, Lavender Lace, Neenah white and DP Magenta

Ink: Memento black and Copics

Accessories: Nesties, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Stickles, SU corner punch, Misc brads, Michaels ribbon, Joanns Pearl ribbon

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you stop by again soon.
