WBW july

 It's Wood Block Wednesday time... posting on a Friday. Lol. There's time to link up until Monday,  July 31!

My card this month is another House Mouse stamp I bought on clearance from Hobby lobby. 😊

I stamped the image and diecut it out with a circle die, and glued it to a scallop die cut (tsol). 

The bkg is inked on using a stencil from Newton's Nook called basketweave. Just a note die is tsol and the little butterflies are from a Crafters Companion border die set I have.

Merry Christmas

 Hi! My last link up for the Christmas in July Byshc linky party

I wasn't sure I was going to get any made,  but look- my 5th link up! Yay me. 👏😉🤪😂😂

This card started really basic, but was pretty. However, it felt too basic; I added to it.  Then I messed it up and added more to hide the mess up. I hope someone can relate. 😂 Anywho... here it is, which to top it off, I had a hard time photographing. It's prettier irl. 😊

I used the stencil Beveled glass from Miss Ink Stamps in shades of blue oxide inks but the blend got lost in the photo 😢 the frame die(s) are also Miss Ink Stamps called Oh happy day frame die SET. 

Merry Christmas die is tsol, and candies are Twidlers Nook. Santa hat recollection sticker. 

Let it snow

Let it Snow! I inked up this stampnfor the first time. It's Brandy and Emma Let it Snow from Unity Stamps. It's so cute.

I colored it with prisma colored penciles, masked it to ink the bkg with oxide inks and then added snow with gesso. 

Let it snow dies are tsol.

I'm linking this up to the Byshc Christmas in July linky party!

For this card, I created the background on watercolor paper and inksmooshing with oxide inks. Then I used Tim Holtz crackling clear glaze with the Miss Ink Stamps stencil called Mouse Flower. 

The beautiful intricate frame die comes with the magnolia set. Cut in gold. I inksmooshed the middle piece and lightly stenciled on the mouse flower and glued it back in.  Oh happy day dies from oh happy day frame die set.
