Driving By to a New Home

Good morning! I know many of you have had snow, we have too but that is normal for this time of year. On a positive note daylight is getting longer so the nights don' get dark as early.

I'm posting today with inspiration for a new home card. I always wanted a Beetle car when I was younger but it never happened. Joy Clair's  Driving By stamp set has a fab beetle car that you can customize to use for many occasions:

I decided to make a card saying We've Moved. For the first time I also attempted to draw a scene for the card freehand. I stamped the card on to stamping card and decorated with flower and smiley stamps included in the set. I then added the suitcases to the roof. I then drew in the tree and building with pencil and added a road. The image was colored with Copic markers and I outlined my drawings with a multiliner so it fit well with the black stamped lines of the car.

I matted a white card base with black card and added my image. Finally I stamped the sentiment which is one of many in the Driving By stamp set. I matted this with black card and added it to my image with foam squares.

Thank you for stopping by. I will be back during the month with more inspiration from Joy Clair. Also my teamies will be sharing with you over on the Joy Clair Facebook Group.

New Home

Good morning, we are expecting more winter storms today and we are heading out to a birthday party so I am hoping that they aren't that bad!

Today's card is a new home card using my favorite CAS style:

I started with a white piece of card and masked the top and bottom of it. I then used a blending brush to blend 2 shades of purple dye ink in the center of the card. I then used stamps from 4 Crafter's Companion sets. Using fine black ink I stamped the little toadstool village from Fairy Magic along the bottom edge of my blended section. The stamp was a little short so I lined it up again and stamped it again filling the lower edge of the purple section, I love stamps that you can do this with.

My little fairy is from Fairy Door stamp set and I gave her fairy dust from the Sparkle Garden set.

Once this was all dry I stamped Home Sweet Home sentiment from Love Blooms.

I made a 5x7 inch card base from white card and matted this with purple and black card. I then added my stamped card.

I few little purple glitter dots just balanced the card.

Thank you for stopping by and if you like what you see please leave me some love in the comments.
