Stamplistic Bay Horse Birthday

Good Morning Ladies,
The weekend is almost here. I am hoping to get to create quite a bit. Or at least get more stuff purged from my crafty space.
The card for today is Stamplistic Bay Horse Birthday
This card was created using the big horse stamp from Stamplistics big and little collection. The horse was stamped on watercolor paper with archival ink. He was then colorized with the CTMH watercolors. A memory box star stencil was then place over the top of the panel. It was stippled over with die ink. A ribbon tied at the bottom tops this card off.
The inside sentiment is a combo of a CTMH set and a Stamps of Life set.

Indian Carousel Horse

Good Morning Ladies,
I missed yesterday blogging. I was too tired to much of anything. I am back today with energy!
The card for today is Indian Carousel Horse
I have been going through my room and doing a destash. I found this card panel along with others that had never been mounted on a card. So I made a card. This image is a Mostly Animals image. This is a great company that went out of business. You can still find some of their images on EBay. The image was stamped on vellum and heat embossed with a fine embossing powder. It was then colorized with art markers. Brads secure the  vellum panel to the cardstock mat.

I am off to another craft day today. I am doing a make and take. It should be a fun day with family and friends.

Kitty Chasing Feathers

Good Morning Ladies,
It was a little slick coming home last night. The temp dropped to 30 and the rain was more like sleet. But I took it easy and it wasn't too bad.
The card for today is Kitty Chasing Feathers
The panel on this card was created when I went for my crafting day last weekend. The kitty is from Stamplistic and the feather is from Sheena Douglass. This scene was stamped on watercolor paper using Archival Ink. It was colorized using the CTMH watercolors. I had to turn the panel into a card. So I grabbed the sentiment from a CTMH set. The feathers are from my stash.
