Red Farm Buildings

The new Peace on Earth mood board is four images of red barns.  It made me think of a stamp I've had for years.

I coloured it with coloured pencils, trimmed it, popped it up on fun foam on a pre-made dark green card base.

Here's the mood board.  Head over to the Peace on Earth blog to see how the rest of the Design Team interpreted it.

Supplies:
Stamps - Serendipity Winter Farm, SSS sentiment
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - white cs, pre-made dark green card base
Size - 5x4.5"
Accessories - coloured pencils, fun foam

Snowy Farm

Peace on Earth challenge has a mood board featuring pick-up trucks.  I don't have any pick-up truck stamps but was inspired by the farms in the backgrounds of the mood board images - especially the red barns.  So I got out a very old Northwoods stamp - one of the first Christmas stamps I ever bought - and created this card:

It's coloured with coloured pencils and then I went over all of the snowy parts with a Quickie glue pen and added glitter - love the sparkle in real life (the photo doesn't do it justice).  A simple sentiment and black border and it was done.

Here's the Peace on Earth mood board:

There's lots more inspiration for you over at Peace on Earth, and we'd love to have you link up a card either inspired by the mood board or an "anything Christmas" card.

Ink - Versafine Clair Onyx Black
Paper - white and black cs
Size - A2
Accessories - coloured pencils, Quickie glue pen, glitter

Snowy Farm

Peace on Earth has a wonderful mood board for the new challenge - four great images of barns in the snow.  It inspired me to make this card:

It's an older stamp and I've had it for years but never inked it up.  The buildings and trees are coloured with alcohol markers and the sky is sponged with two shades of Distress Oxide ink.  I splattered with a white paint pen and added glitter to the snowy roofs, the ground, and the snow on the trees.  The image is bordered with dark green cs (though it looks black in the photo).

Here's the Peace on Earth mood board that inspired the card:

I'm also going to enter it in Darnell's NBUS (never before used stuff) challenge as it's the first time that stamp got inked up.

Barn and Blue Jays

I didn't think I'd be able to do this week's Merry Monday challenge as I couldn't recall having any stamps of barns, and then suddenly remembered a really really old stamp I've had forever that has a barn in the background.

I stamped it and coloured it with coloured pencils, added a sentiment above it, trimmed it down and matted with red, and popped it up on fun foam on a dark green card base.

Then I took my Quickie glue pen and went over all the snowy bits and added glitter.  In real life, there is a lot of sparkle.  Here's a close-up that shows the barn and hopefully some of the sparkle:

I'm saving it for my sister who used to live on a farm.

Supplies:

Stamps - Northwoods image, Make an Impression sentiment

Ink - Versafine Onyx Black

Paper - white, red, and dark green cs

Size - A2

Accessories - coloured pencils, glitter, fun foam
