Stampin' Rodeo VSN - Living In The Wild Wild West



Challenge #6 is "Living In The Wild Wild West" the challenge is to use the song "Wild, Wild West" by Escape Club as your inspiration and to include gingham of some sort. I was inspired to use a sheriff image.

My images are from Dustin Pike's Doodle Dragon Studios. They are both colored with Prismacolor pencils. Background paper is from DCWV The Guy Stack paper pack. I was inspired by the saddle up image to make the sheriff image look like an old poster and I added little nails in the corners too.

Stampin' Rodeo VSN - Brayered Sunset On The Plains



Challenge #5 is "Brayered Sunset On The Plains" the challenge is to create a sunset using a brayer. Luckily there was a side note that you could use sponges, daubers, etc. cause I don't have a brayer and was a little afraid to use one.

I used sponge daubers and dry baby wipes to create my sunset. The inks that I used are: Colorbox Canary, Apricot, Orange, Violet and Royal Blue. I also used Momento Paris Dusk on the very top. The images were stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black and filled in with a Black copic marker.

Stampin' Rodeo VSN - All That Glitters



Challenge #4 is "All That Glitters" the challenge is to use rhinestones on your card. I cheated and found the heart in the iron-on section.

My image is from Bugaboo Stamps and colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil. The background paper is from The Paper Studios Jung-a-low Bung-a-low Baby paper pack.

Stampin' Rodeo VSN - Bring On The Clowns...Rodeo Clowns



Challenge #3 is "Bring On The Clowns...Rodeo Clowns" the challenge is to use at least 4 bright colors and to make something pop. I think I got it covered.

My image is from Dustin Pike and colored with Prismacolor Pencils. Nothing too special done to this card. I don't know what paper stack I got the paper from. It was in my misc. scrap pile.

I'm saving this card for my little brother, he turns 21 this year!

Challenge #2 is "Queen's Wave" the challenge is to make a card based on the theme of waving.

My image is from Dustin Pike and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The paper is from DCWV All About Boys paper stack. I free handed the splash cut and added Glossy Accents to the little water drops.

Stampin' Rodeo VSN - The Grand Entry

Howdy Y'all!! I'm taking part in the Virtual Stamp Night at Splitcoaststampers again. Tonight is the Mini event. The Main event will take place August 26th and 27th. If you have some free time stop by and join us it's tons of fun!!



Challenge #1 is "The Grand Entry" the challenge is to make a card using flags or pennants. I choose pennants cause they are so cute on a baby card and I need lots of baby cards right now!!

My image is from Dustin Pike and colored with Prismacolor pencils then blended with baby oil. The flowers were left over from another card and were perfect for this one. The small stamps on the pennants are from the Baby Barrel of Stamps from the Paper Studio. Background paper is from DCWV Baby Boy Nursery paper stack.

More Graduation Cards


I sponged this background and stamped the flowers in black. Then used a white gel pen to highlight the water. The sentiment is computer generated.


On the inside I used a Doodle Dragon Studios image. 
Colored it with Prismacolor pencils and blended it with baby oil.



I made this graduation card awhile ago and forgot to upload it.
This card has a matching bookmark and money or a gift card fits where the bookmark is.
I used daubers to make the backgrounds. The butterflies are punched from paper I painted and outlined with a purple glitter gel pen.
