Stackers in Watercolor

On Double Trouble, Challenge #10 this week, Thing one asks you to use three colors and an image, Thing Two asks us to link up with Challenge #282 on the  Brown Sugar Challenge, creature great or small,  and Thing Three is all about a critter, wild and silly with an optional punny sentiment.

Simon Says Stamps also has one challenge using a pop up, and another, on flickr, that is for using embossed resist. What fun I had getting everything I could into one card.

I used the Simon Says Stacking Animals set. First, I stamped them in brown Momento ink and embossed them with clear embossing powder, then I watercolored with a Prima set. These were cut with the matching dies and popped up. The sentiment, also included in the set was embossed with white, watercolored, and popped up as well. A few blue Nuvo Crystal drops were added just for fun!

Piles of Hamburgers YUM!

The Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge for February has a challenge of Nom Nom!  Talk about an inspiring photo! Do take a look to see how this inspired me to show off my love of hamburgers, LOL!

I just love this stamp set from Your Next Stamp called Happy Meal. I have used it so many times. Gosh, I wish I could still eat hamburgers, but alas, I can only dream of them and craft with them these days! I created a mask and stacked four burgers on top of each other. Then, I colored and cut out two more. One is popped as is the sentiment.

Your Next Stamp also has a challenge blog, so I used the sketch with the tall on the opposite side. I didn't want to make purple and blue hamburgers though!

And, finally, look closely at the pretty stitching for the background paper. WeAre3 on Etsy has a great digital set called In Stitches. The very useful variety of shaped stitching is so to use, in its PNG form, and can be adjusted to fit any sized paper shape.


Thanks for stopping by, and a special thanks to all that leave comments!
