Stamp Act: Life is Good......

Life is Good......

Hi!

Looks like we are going to have another nice day here today! It may get up to 50!!!! YAY!!

My card today is for another Gina K Countdown challenge. The challenge was to color with glitter pens. I SWEAR I colored with glitter pens but my camera would not pick up the glitter!! LOL!!

I totally TRIED to CASE THIS card by Theresa Momber who is the illustrator of the stamp set I used, Life is Good. I LOVED her card so much!

The base of this card is Dark Chocolate with a mat of green DP from Prima and then a Select White panel on top. All of the images are from the Life is Good set and were stamped using Black Memento ink, except for the trees next to the cabin which were stamped using Cocoa Memento ink.

I colored using Copic Markers (C-1, C-3, E-43, E-50, G-82, E-25 and E-47) and Copic Spica glitter pens, Buttermilk, Mint, Sand and Clear. I stamped a second cabin, cut it out and mounted it on top of the first stamped image using dimensionals.

For the top portion, I sponged So Saffron ink heavily and then a little Crumb Cake. For the bottom portion, I sponged So Saffron lightly, Crumb Cake and a little Cocoa Memento. I really wanted to stamp the deer like Theresa did but I couldn't fit it and it would be just my luck that I would have screwed the whole card up so I thought I better quit while I was ahead!!! LOL!!

Here is a look at the inside ~

I had made this piece with the sun behind the trees before I decided to CASE Theresa's so instead of it going to waste, I just used it on the inside! This card will go to my FIL for his Birthday next month!
