Envelope Art

Aloha dear friends,

How is your new week? Are you able to create? I hope you can and that all is well for you and your loved ones ♥

I'm going to try and play in a challenge. It's been a very long time since the last one -- not good. Gotta get on the ball.

Cat is having a challenge for envelope art at StampTV.  I often call this simply envy art. I used color pencils on the envelope but markers on the card. The area around the flower on the card is colored in with a very pale Y00 Copic marker, just to set it off from white. It's hard to see it in the picture.

Stamp Sets: "Art from the Heart" and "Scripty Sayings2"
Cardstock and envelope: GKD
Colored with Copic markers (card) and
Prismacolor Pencils (envelope)
Embossing Folder "Petal Burst"
Dies: Circles and Stitched Circles by SMS
Corner Rounder Cropadile
Striped ribbon; adhesive foam; Nuvo Crystal Drops in light blue and light yellow; Nuvo Clear Spark Pen (on the flower petals)

It's Monster Love

Aloha dear ones,

I hope you and your loved ones are getting through this winter as best you can. It's nice here and very windy this past week. It's cold for us (windy and low 60s, don't laugh) and the snow on the mountains behind us turns the wind icy throughout the house. Then the sun warms us into the 70s and no complaints!

This card is for our older grandson, the brother of the younger one that is getting the Ninja card (last post). He is older but I reaaaaaaaaaly wanted to use this stamp set. It's stamped and colored on the inside, too! Aren't monsters cute!!!?

The background scene is colored with markers. The monsters are stamped in solid GKD ink with color pencils over them. I fought to save this sentiment. I stamped in VersaFine Black and swiped it across the sky :(  Yes, I did. It took a lot of work to figure out how to save this baby. If there is a way, I will always mess up towards the end of my card projects lol!
