Roasting Marshmallows

 



The background is Woodland Wonders.  I used a green Copic marker to color or highlight  the green leaves.  I used watercolor pencils  to color or highlight various areas of  Our Campfire image.  including the grass at the bottom.

Drifting in a Rowboat

 


Good morning!  It's Holly posting and today I'm sharing this sweet scenic card that I created with Technique Junkies stamps.  I stamped the At The River with a black dye ink and then colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment, from the My Dear Friend set, is stamped with black ink at the bottom.

I love this sweet little scene.  Those flowers really pop against the pale blue of the river and those sweet cattails breaking out of the circle just captured my heart.  Can you just see yourself sitting in that little rowboat drifting along, enjoying the peace and quiet?

Blooming Dandelions

 Hi. Tracy Shultz, The Hopeful Crafter here, with a cheerful card using the new Blooming Dandelions https://techniquejunkies.com/blooming-dandelions/ stamp from Technique Junkies. This stamp is super cute and is part of the July 2022 new release: https://techniquejunkies.com/july-2022-new-stamp-release/


I created this card by first heat embossing the stamp with black embossing powder.  Then I colored the flowers with Karin Markers. I die cut this image with an oval die. I used a piece of light green paper and embossed it with a floral 3D embossing folder. I used a yellow ribbon across the middle of this. I used a piece of pattern paper with pretty yellow flowers as the layer between the embossed paper and the oval with the dandelions. I used white embossing powder to heat emboss the sentiment "Thinking of You" from the Four Little Sentiments https://techniquejunkies.com/four-little-sentiments/ stamp set onto a piece of green paper. I used the Deckle Trimmer to trim the sentiment and a white mat piece of paper to layer behind the sentiment. I adhered everything to a white card base.

Field Flowers- Three Ways

 Hello Junkies!

Wildflowers are just pretty.  I think they are technically weeds, but yet they have this way of captivating us.  I was instantly in love with this stamp.   I wanted to try to make a masculine card with it.  Can flowers be masculine?  I'd love to hear what you think.

I wanted to try stamping on some patterned paper that I had in my stash.  I think I've had this for about 10 years.  I was so glad to see this paper finally get turned into a card!  Do you have that problem?
I used wood enamel dots on this one... Not sure how I feel about them.  I think I like the twine better.  What do you think?
