The greens in the inspiration photo made me think of the cows here out on the lush green pastures during the summer and the smiley sun in the photo inspired the cartoon cow and circular window.

Another card for the SSS flickr challenge. This time I used images from the SSS May card kit. I stamped the images in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and then colored them with ZIGs. Trimmed them out when I was done and adhered them to a white die cut panel. The sentiment is from the SSS Beautiful Flowers stamp set, the images are from Delicate Flowers.

I got a late start to my cards this year. This is one of the designs for this year. The ornament to the left is my first attempt at alcohol inks on Yupo - it turned out so pretty, I almost didn't want to cut it. The middle ornament is die cut from sparkly cs that came with a Hero Arts Monthly kit. The smallest ornament was stamped and embossed using the round ornament from the set, but then die cut with the smaller die. TFL!

STAMPtember is here and I got to create with the gorgeous Nature Mandala by Stephanie Low! For these two cards I used heat embossing. For the kraft card I simply stamped the image in VersaMark, applied some embossing powder in Enchanted Gold by Ranger and then heated. The panel was trimmed down on one side and adhered to a card base along with a strip of gold glitter cardstock. The sentiment is from the SSS Mom Flowers set. The top card uses the emboss/resist technique and distress oxide inks in Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade. The sentiment is from the Take Heart set combined with the layered heart die set.

I haven't been on Flickr for months! Things have changed I see.

Here I've used all products from Simon Says Stamp 😊

Transferred the original inked up and heat embossed piece with water and my die cutting machine.

Matched it with the Shimmer Wreath die and the words "Get Well Soon".

The rainbow mirror cardstock is just beautiful.

So I have some felt in my stash, but I've never really thought to use it on a card! The SSS Monday Challenge this week is simply to use felt. I pulled out this old Lawn Fawn set of dies and cut out some felt clouds and rain. I uswed the great sentiment and zig zag die cut from the SSS Bring the Sunshine set. And over at the SSSFlickrChallenge#45 - Anything goes! Going to have to pull out some of my other SSS lines and get crafting this weekend!

I normally don't think of myself as a "Mixed Media" person. I'm usually more of a CAS-style person - fewer layers, and definitely minimal messy products. But as a I was reading the definition over at Happy Little Stampers current Mixed Media Challenge (www.happylittlestampers.com/search/label/Mixed%20Media%20...) I guess this actually qualifies. I've got Ink+Paper plus felt and Stickles for dimension and texture. It's hard to see, but the rain drops have a little coat of the icicles stickles for a little shine.

SSS Products use: Bring the Sunshine stamps and Dies, Fog Cardstock.

Made with watercolor pencils on a printed card from SSS, designed by Suzy Plamentura. Love die is from Altenew.
