Dad

Fancy Pants Beachside Boardwalk Paper, Carter Bella Paper Cowboys

This was created for my Dad. ;)

It's personal and I found myself emotional as I created it. 

Old time images had me seeing his world through childlike eyes; he has the greatest stories from when he was young.

This is my DT sample for INkspirational's prompt Layer It~

Outside and inside are mostly layered patterned papers and dies (vellum layer with the sentiment behind the car).

We do hope you join us with your unique Layer It creation!

 

Hero Arts Wooden Block Cupcake

 

Hero Arts Cupcake Stand and Safari sentiment, Square die, Pretty Pink Posh Wonky Stitched Square, Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Embossing folder

I was driven to stick with Sunday Stamps' latest colors and wooden stamps for this creation.

Lots of my Copics needed refilling, and it looks like I had the ones I needed, which is a win!

Amy's Woodblock Wednesday keeps me gathering wooden stamps anywhere I see them on sale or at thrifts ;).

Time Out had me inking up this cupcake stand!

Sentiment was chosen for Hero Art's latest challenge:

Thank you for your sweet visit today!

Can You DIG it

Love a good pun and cute images like my dude here Dudley:

Whimsy Stamps Disco Dude Dudley and Revealers 2 dies

My daughter's fiancé is into dinos, so I think he will find this funny. ;)

I know I do!

Oh how I've wanted to snag one of the revealer dies from Whimsy Stamps...YAY!!!

I've seen a sample on their site using it with a disco silhouette and it works for good ole Dudley too!

Totally picked my colors from this lovely challenge:

These challenges apply too:

Killin' It Boss Lady

Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strip, Papertrey Ink Market Street Paper, Hampton Art Rongron (planner set sentiment, tribe set image, Boss goals sentiment), Copics, Brutus Monroe Raven ink, Pink and Main Sweater Weather patterned paper (retired pack)

I saw the Color Hues Challenge of olive and mustard and picked up the minimal same colors in Papertrey Ink's Market Street.

This city gal from Hampton Art Rongron fits the scale of the scene, so it was perfect for what I had in mind.

My middle daughter has been growing in her esthetician field, and I wanted to honor her bold strides.

If you own this paper, you'll know it's a little bumpy to stamp on, but Brutus Monroe's Raven ink sat so still on it (I used my stamp positioner to give it a few taps).

A light shade of Copics finished it off.

I set behind it a mustard pattern from Pink and Main that's retired (Sweater Weather).

Thank you for your sweet visit!

You Are So Worth Bonsai Tree

Hero Arts Bonsai Fancy Die, My Favorite Things Stamps Anything but Basic, Whimsy Stamps Jungle Frames, Pretty Pink Posh sentiment strips

 

I know that bonsai trees may not be your typical fall tree, but set in fall colors is passable as a handsome presentation.

Check out the mustard and grey backdrop of the following middle panel of this mood board.

Thank you for your sweet visit!

DT INkspirational Seasonal

Concord & 9th Winter Wonderland, Spellbinders Holiday Sentiments Series 2 Glimmer Plate, My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Circles/Stitched Oval Word Window, circle dies, Avery Elle Double Stitched Rectangles

 

It's time for a new challenge at INk!

This time the prompt is Seasonal~

Love this lil' nutcracker from Concord & 9th (it's the original smaller one).

The shiny shinies all matched together from my leftover stash (one being the glimmer plate sentiments from Spellbinders).

Today me, is grateful for yesterday me (the one who sat and assembled multiple tiny nutcrackers and churned out glimmer plate sentiments).

Thank you for visiting me today (take a look at what the talented team came up with too) ; please join us at INkspirational with your unique work!
