The current Hero Arts challenge asks us to find inspiration on the Creativebug website. Libby is the hostess of a 31-day Hero Arts series showcasing different stamping techniques. I chose Day 22 - Emboss Resist - for my design.
I started by stamping the borealis background stamp from the June 2020 MMH kit onto a panel of Hero Arts lavender card stock. It was then heat embossed with clear detail powder. I followed by sponging over the embossing with Wilted Violet and Dusty Concord distress inks. I finished with lightly sponging Black Soot distress ink around the edges.
I stamped the whale tail and spout (from the same kit) in VersaClaire black and heat embossed with clear powder. It was die cut and layered with a coordinating sentiment on the card. I finished with a few sequins.
This card was also inspired by Libby's FB challenge to use her favorite color PURPLE! Happy Birthday Libby!

I'm sharing a fun birthday card with the current Gerda Steiner challenge. My card features the adorable Moose Love clear set.
I started by stamping the moose image onto Stampin' Up! Whisper White card stock. It was colored with Copic Markers then fussy cut. The party hat is an older stamp that I had in my collection and was topped with a white pom pom.
The moose image was layered onto designer paper from Echo Park Birthday Wishes paper pad. "It Moose be Your Birthday" is stamped inside the card.

The summer is flying by here in Alaska! I couldn't resist coloring Mo's sweet Pool Party image this weekend. It's an older image, and possibly retired, but one of my favorites.
The image was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut. I created the beach scene by sponging the sky and sand with Memento ink. Palm tree die is from Gina Marie.
I hope everyone gets a little Vitamin Sea before the summer ends!

I had a chance to color over the weekend while camping. It was so relaxing to coloring this lovely digital Luminous Bouquet image from Power Poppy. My card was inspired by the "Pop Goes the Flower" challenge - color the background to make the flower POP.
The image was colored with Copic Markers and layered onto papers from American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neapolitan Paper Pad. I also used the current Mojo sketch as inspiration.
