Weekend Card Extravaganza

Friday night was craft night with my friends and we did even more of the one layer cards!  I promise I haven't given up my markers...just having fun getting inky and actually stamping!  Below are the cards I created Friday night...

The first one features a stamp from Penny Black.  The sentiment is by Wordsworth.

While I had the blue ink out, I tried another version featuring two birds on a branch by Penny Black.  Sentiment by Hero Arts.

 

 

Next up I created two strips of color and then masked both and stamped over them.  I love this!  I will definitely have to try again.  I also want to try using some shapes (circle, etc.) as the sponged backgrounds.  Main image by Panny Black, sentiment from Stampendous.

Next card used a similar color palette, but I liked the background so much, I left it alone and just added a sentiment from Wordsworth.

The last one I tried something a bit different.  I did the usual inked acrylic block, but rather than stamping the main image in black, I colored the image with markers and then added it to the right.  I love the way it turned out. Main image by Penny Black, sentiment from Wordsworth.

This is a card I made for the challenge being hosted over at Oozak.  This is their first ever challenge and I had every intention of getting this done weeks ago!  Good thing it is a monthly challenge!  I am skidding in at the last minute, but I made it!  The challenge was "Anything Goes" and I decided to use this cute stamp from Penny Black.  I think it is such a cute image and it was fun to color!  I also used Deconstructed Sketch #46 for the layout.  This was the first time I have used the Copic Blending Card and it was delightful to work with.  I have been using Neenah Classic Crest since I was first certified and I really liked how smooth it was.  I will definitely have to add some to my collection.

If you haven't checked out the challenge over at Oozak, pop on over and join the fun!
