Now that the holidays are over, I am hoping to have more time to stamp and visit blogs. I do plan to catch up with everyone soon. This weekend, I had a bit of time to craft in between looking at new cars.
I played in a few of the SCS challenges. This one was made using the crackled glass technique. I used a new Christmas Truck stamp I bought at Mike's a few days before Christmas (it was on a great sale so I had to get it). The stamp is from Stampendous and is really large, but I focused on the truck and used the DRS Designs Stained Glass Oval stamp to give it even more of a cracked glass feel. My bg panels were all stamped with the DRS Designs Woodgrain stamp and sponged. Everything on this card other than the berries started out as white. I love me some ink!
The next card is made with a Delicious Doodles deer image - I love this image. The challenge was an inspiration challenge. I picked a fun deer picture as my inspiration. Most the pictures in the challenge had splatters so after washing the image down with some water colors, I splattered the remaining color on the image. The paper is from My Minds Eye.
Hope your week goes well!
Hugz!

ReplyDeleteLove the fab images and details,fabulous cards.xxx
ReplyDeleteTwo outstanding cards here. I love both of them. The first one has such a great look with the crackle. and I love that you added the ferns and berries. It was as though the car was a gift all wrapped up. Your second image was just gorgeous and the splatters really made it look like they were in the middle of a snow storm. Your leaves, twine and back ground papers all came together perfectly to make such a beautiful card. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done time two. Love the cracked glass! Happy new year to you and blessings for a great year ahead :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Nancy, I love the crackled glass effect and fabulous deer.

Two really amazing designs here Nancy!! Love the images and I especially love the stained glass concept as well!! You are so talented!! :) HUGS
ReplyDeleteWow, these cards are amazing! I especially like that cracked/stained glass look on the truck!
ReplyDeleteThe cracked glass card is quite impressive with those rich colors and gorgeous texture. I thought you'd hand-drawn the deer on the 2nd card - it looks like a hand-made watercolor and it's beautiful! I hope you had a great Christmas season!
ReplyDeleteI really think this is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank for your always encouraging me
That card with a truck is so cool, as for me. I love cracked glass, that's why I like this card so much. This truck stamp on a cracked glass looks amazing!
