I have had lots of fun stamping and painting this weekend. Stamping is my way of relaxing and reducing stress after a long work week. The SCS Challenges always present something interesting that invites me to create. That is a good thing for me.
Saturday’s Inspiration Challenge was fun as we were given an online site called Pylones to find something inspiring. I loved the brightly colored mouse pad shown below.
I thought this sweet image from Stampavie by Rachelle Anne Miller was perfect to recreate an inspiration piece. I used the same colors right down to the orange lady bug.
The Sunday Featured Stamper Challenge featured a good friend, Jojot (Joanne). Her gallery is filled to the brim with wonderful creations. I was inspired to case her Cardinal Snow project. I kept the Christmas theme and used my Crafty Secrets Sweet Kids Sleigh Ride image and went for a vintage feel.
I didn’t want to detract from the image itself by adding snow by painting on craft ink and embossing or by using Liquid Appliqué so I simply painted the images and then sponged over it with Distress Antique Linen ink to age.
I hope you have a good week.
These images by Crafty Secrets are just precious, Kittie! Of course your coloring and added details make them fabulous!
Fantastic Kittie, just fantastic
Love both your creations Kittie, so different, and both so wonderful. Great choice of stamp sets for these challenges.

Oh Kittie! I love both of these…the first is just so bright, cheery and fun! The second is so very pretty…the corner accent is just perfect with this great image!
