Lorraine's Loft

Mornin' all :-) We've had a few stormy days but this morning the sun managed to break through the clouds a little bit and I was able to run out and take a few pics before the dark grey rain cloud loomed overhead again.

I made this card for the Art Impressions 'Couple Cards' Challenge using 2 of the pups from a Santa Paws Clear Stamp Set

Aren't they adorable! I coloured with Copic Markers and added a shaker window. The little pup is desperate to get inside to the warm fire while the little dacshund is quite happy playing in the snow haha.

The lovely paper is from a Brutus Monroe Watercolor Galaxy Pack I added a Christmas tree from a Tim Holtz Festive Things Die Set.

and I finished the inside

Thanks for looking! :-)

I hope you all have a great day and an even greater weekend!

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is

THANKS/THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving will be celebrated in the United States on Thursday 28th November. A perfect time to send cards to your family and friends and let them know how much you love and appreciate them. It is also a great time to get started on the thank you cards that you will need for the holiday season!

I used a gorgeous Color Layering Cala Lily Stamp and Coordinating Die Set

I used a MISTI tool and a selection of Simon Says Stamp Hybrid Inks to colour the flowers and leaves. For the background I used a Hero Arts Polka Dots Prints Cling Stamp by Lia Griffiths, which is no longer available but there are lots more to choose from ;-)

and I made one in a purple colorway while I had all of the supplies out ;-) The Misti tool makes this so easy to do!
