Hit the Road for Father's Day ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Happy Father's Day to all of you father's out there.  
I made this card special for my dad today.  Since I don't have a stamp with a sailboat I went with what I had...antiques.  I'm pretty sure my dad's favorite color is green (at least that's what he has on his Valiant sailboat!).  I did look up green gas pumps and trucks like this just to be on the safe side and they do exist! :D

I colored in the truck and gas pump with Color Burst Pencils from Fun Stampers Journey.  I did a little erasing here and there to try and get the shine and glare from the sun.  I also used a little gray to add some shadows in.

(I really didn't use kiwi slice, but I wanted green on here!  I used pencil #22) 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Lovely Day ~ Fun Stampers Journey Mother's Day Cards

I know I'm a little late posting today's cards, but I wanted to make sure they were delivered before I posted them.  I made these cards for my mother and mother-in-law for Mother's Day...of course!  They each hold a special place in my heart and since I'm not very good with words I like to let my cards show everyone that I care.  Even though my favorite color is green, when it comes to making cards I think that they are overwhelmingly blue of one shade or another.  And once again I used my favorite ATS Stamp Lovely Day. :)

 As you can see one card is a lighter blue than the other.  I colored the flowers with different blue Journey Burst Pencils. I believe I used  pencils 26, 30 and 32 for the lighter card with Beach Ball Satin Ribbon and I know I used pencils 30, 32 and 33 on the darker card with Catalina Splash Satin Ribbon. I hope you find them as lovely as I do. :)

Lovely Day ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Can you tell that one of my favorite stamps lately is the ATS Lovely Day? :)   
I created this card for a challenge as a part of Fun Stampers Journey.  It was inspired by the circle card I created a week or so ago.  This card is really supposed to be all black and white, but I couldn't resist adding a pop of color and did that using three different pink color burst pencils.

As you can see I cut out the smallest flower and popped it.  Adding dimension just makes it a little more fun. :)

Dahlia Burst ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today I have a lovely card to share with you that I created for my nephew (and of course his new bride) on their wedding day.  I had no idea what their colors were so I went with a blue dahlia.  I wanted it to be pretty, but not a bright pink or something.  You know what I mean, right? :)

I stamped the dahlia five times and cut parts of it out starting with the very middle budding area and kept doing the same thing keeping more of the petals each time until I had the full flower.  I colored each of the layers using Journey Color Burst Pencils...I LOVE using them!  They show beautiful and vibrant colors!  I also used the Heart Film Die Set for the heart.  I believe this will be out in the new Inspiration catalog this summer.  I received it at Leadership in January and this is the first time I used it.  Glad I was digging through my dies and saw this one. I had forgotten about, but an idea popped into my head and I finally knew how I was going to finish the card. :)

Lovely Day ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's card is inspired by Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday's sketch challenge #319.  What a fun challenge...a circle or oval card.  It's been a long time since I've made one of those!  I chose to use my favorite stamp set Lovely Day as the focus of my circular card.

I used my Journey Color Burst pencils to color my flowers and used baby oil to blend the different pinks together.  I also cut out the smallest flower and popped it up on my card.  It's kind of hard to see that though. :(
Make sure you check out all the other great cards the designers created HERE.  Lots of neat cards!  If you get a chance we'd love to see what you've created too.
