Eureka Yes! Bear

Hello and welcome to my bi-weekly 

challenge post for Eureka stamps! 

This week the theme is: anything goes.

I decided to stick with a back to school theme.

 Eureka has such a fun assortment

 of teacher themed digis - 

I had a blast making cards with them!

You can join in this challenge at

 Feline Playful. I hope you will join in the fun!

Here is my card for today:

The card is 4 x 4 square. 

I colored with colored pencil and blended with mineral spirits.

Thanks for visiting today!

Hope you will join us for this challenge!

Anything goes!

Pencil me in.......

Today's card features a digi from Austin Owens

 for Clear Dollar Stamps. 

This one comes from the set, Back to school.

 Cute, cute school themed digis.

I printed the pencil and then added computer generated words. 

I colored the image with Derwent Inktense Colored Pencils.

The sentiment was computer generated.

Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge #7

Hello and welcome to my blog!

 I am hosting the CHF challenge this week! 

My theme is Animals.

For my card I used the digital image

 582D - All Ears Dog.

Doesn't he just look like he's waiting to hear his favorite word - "walk".

I had some dog park themed paper in my stash that I thought

 worked perfectly for this cute little guy! 

I used my banner die from Whimsy stamps and

 my alphabet from My Favorite Things.
