Stitched Journaling Cards

Finally...Here are the cards I promised to share from last week. 

You will recognize the one that I already shared. You can check it out here. All three cards feature the stitched journaling card from Lawn Fawn. 

The background on all three cards was made the same way. First stamping an image on white card stock, than coloring in the image with Distress Ink. 

The pumpkins on this first card are from Penny Black. I never get tired of the magic of simple Copic coloring and what it can do to transform an image, bringing it to life.

Flowers make me smile, and blue, the rich blue of the sky, makes me smile. Blue is such a happy color. So what better sentiment to pair with these sunflowers on this Impression Obsession background. 

The gold sparkle Lawn Fawn trimmings finishes it off.

Happy Stamping!!

Dream BIG!!

Hi, It's Terri Johnson. Happy Thursday! The skies here are overcast and it seems like fall is determined to visit soon despite my best efforts to stay in denial. School is starting and life is rolling forward. Even though I am sad to see summer come to a close I love the magic of fall. I love the leaves, pumpkins, holidays, and apple pie. I love breaking out my sweaters and jackets...and I LOVE the new fall release stamps from Lawn Fawn!

When my stamps arrived in the mail, I just had to carve out time this week to play with them. I couldn't decide wether to play with the beautiful sunflowers in Our Friendship Grows, or the adorable deer in Into the Woods...so I combined them into one. I mean seriously...how sweet are these stamps?

I'm so in love with this little guy. I had to put some rosy cheeks on him..or her, and of course some white little dots on his backside. I put dimensional adhesive behind his back and double adhesive behind his head so he stood out in front of the flowers.  Eeek! The sunflowers were just begging for some glittery, shimmery fun, so what's a girl to do? 

I colored the flowers and the deer with Copic Markers and used the Fiskars Grass Punch for the strip at the bottom. The clouds are from Blue Skies and the sentiment uses Riley's ABC's and Critters Ever After. I used the little trick from Nicole Magouirk this week about just coloring the word(s) you want to use on a stamp with a Black Soot Distress Marker. Brilliant!

Perfect Timing to enter this card in two challenges. First the Lawnscaping challenge is doing a "Favorite Things" Challenge which you can check out here. Also, Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog is themed, "Animal Antics". Check that one out here, there's plenty of time to enter!

Have a wonderful week, and may it be sunny in your corner of the world!

Happy Stamping!

Warm Wishes

Since clean and simple is my preferred style, I thought I would throw my hat in the ring with the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog. This week's theme is "kraft and text". 

My card features Paper Smooches Happy Camper Set with some simple Copic coloring. I must admit, those marshmallows have been calling to me all summer and I had yet to put them on a card. I had fun trying to find the perfect color to "toast" them over the campfire. They look warm and gooey enough to eat. My youngest daughter asked me where the chocolate was...ha ha ha.

A simple application of Antique Linen Distress Ink, and a greeting in Hero Arts Cup O Joe and we are done. 

Happy Stamping!
