Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 101--Square card

This week at Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge Blog we are making "Square Cards". I stamped my image 5 times and using my square Nestabilities I cut them out so I could layer them on pop dots matching up the design on each square. Go on over and join in on the fun. You could win a new stamp set.

My image is colored with pencil 5 times and I inked up the backside with black for some added rocks and some blue on the other side for the water.

Happy Easter

Had a few minutes today to play as today was a chore day. Tomorrow more vacationing. I had colored this image the other day for the Christmas card challenge I entered and realized I had made a summer scene so I had to redo LOL. I guess winter is the furthest thing from my mind. Any hoo this stamp is from the Christmas in the Country MFP a HC set. I've decided it's quite pretty all greened up. I added a leafy flourish and a few daisy flowers. I think it looks just like Spring.

A few minutes between vacation fun.

We've been on vacation this week. Enjoying the time off. Today we decided to deal with a few things around the house my husband needed to work on. So I did laundry and worked on a few challenges and a tutorial I have due. But first I have to say thank you to the Florida Stampers for enabling me. I ended up with 3 of the IO Cover the Card stamps and after today I am hooked and will be purchasing a few more. I am using them with out the rocker. Just laid the card stock on the stamp and smoothed with my hands. I don't think I will end up with as many as Lynn has but I do have my eye on 4 others. Here are 2 cards that I made using the thick and thin lines stamp. So cool!!!

This first one is for Splitcoaststampers color Challenge CC368, eggplant, grape and melon and the Sketch challenge SC378.

This card is for for Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge SC377 and for the Christmas card challenge I found last week Craftyhazelnuts Christmas Challenge 65 include a house or part of a house. Since selling most of my stamps I was stumped for a few minutes and then saw this MFP a HC stamp... God's House. Hope it counts.

The cover the card stamp made awesome backgrounds for these 2 cards. Making my own patterned designer paper will be very convenient. I can't show you the others I made until next week when the sneak peaks begin for April.
