Inspiration Wednesday

Well, because of Thanksgiving coming up, we decided to hop on Tuesday this week.

Ah the colors of a beautiful winter day. That is the inspiration for this card. This Snowman stamp is one of my favorites and I chose to lightly color him with pencils and mount him on a scalloped circle. The flourish was a perfect addition to the side of the card.




Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Stamp: Queen Kat
Markers: Copics
Brad: Rusty Pickle

In case you didn't know, Queen Kat has just created some stamps for the Twilight fans in all of us. Stop by the store and check them out, then stop at everyone's blog for some amazing creations.

Wednesday blogging

It's another blog hop Wednesday and it's QKD anniversary celebration.
Today's challenge from Queen Kat was to use the colors: purple, pink, grey, white, and since we are celebrating Queen Kat's 3rd anniversary, I thought an anniversary card was in order. So I used the Spring Love set.

Queen Kat Designs

Another card I've been working on. Since I don't drink coffee, I had to adapt this QK stamp to my needs. So easy to do too - I just covered coffee with stickers that spelled tea and my card is all set. Of course, I cut it out with my Cricut and From My Kitchen cartridge.

Check out these cards I made with Queen Kat's Ride with me stamp set. Full of tons of images, some of them, like the Christmas Tree, Pumpkin, Black Cat and Witches hat, are perfect for creating "inchies".




Go see what Queen Kat has in store today.
