The the beary best
The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is: We're going around in circles.
As the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is"Anything goes, I thought I would add one more. Sadly no Whimsy stamps this time.
For my card I tried something Laura Bassen showed a few weeks ago on her Youtube Channel.
I already had the big round circle as a stencil and so diecut a few more from nesting dies.
I masked off the bottom half of the circle, then applied the blues first. These are all Distress inks: Tumbled Glass, Broken
China, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, Faded Jeans, Chipped Shapphire.
Then reversed the masking and applied more Distress inks, I used less colors as I felt these go very well together, others not so much ;-) So Cracked Pistachio, then Cracked Pistachio again, Evergreen Bough and again, Lucky Clover and Pined Needles.
The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Punny Animals, I wanted something modern, not scripty to go with my funky circles. So I stamped also some silhouette animals that went with my sentiment, these are from Marianne Design.

Wool always be friends
The Male Room Challenge is: Landscapes.So I pulled out the Craftin Desert Divas, Southwest Border dies and cut the elements from colored card.
The sky is made with Distress Oxides and a circular mask (Candied apple, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard seed and Squeezed Lemonade).
The Alpaca is from Marianne Design (col 1470) and I also made it with colored card.
The Sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas also (Animal Antics) and I stamped it with Versafine Clair ink. Sadly CCD is no longer operational.
White Gel pen in the eyes of the Alpaca, they give us give wool, so hence the sentiment.

Get well meow
The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: Anything goes, showcasing Whimsy Stamps.
I've used the Whimsy Stamps set called Get Well DP1033.
Stamped the cat with Intense black ink and colored it with Copics and Spectrum Noir markers., cut him out and mounted it with foamtape.
For the background I used the sentiment from the same set and stamped it with Versafine Clair ink. Heat set it and then placed a circle mask on the card,inkblended Distress oxides to match the syringe (Twisted citron and Peeled paint) For the bubbles I've used a Heidi Swapp stencil and Peacock Feathers Oxides.
Stuck the cat on top.

AAA Cards Challenge #166: 6th birthday celebration, with video
It's our birthday! AAA Cards Challenges turns 6! woot.
For my card I used a digi from Beccy's Place and printed it with the sentiment onto Crafter's Companion Neenah paper. Coloured it with my Spectrum Noir Markers.
Adhered the panel onto a cardbase with taperunner.
The hippo has some kind of stitch lines, so it could be a stuffed aimal for a baby card. Then you could colour him any kind of pastel colour, but I went semi realistic.

Few matching enamel dots around the perimeter.

Recycle
The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: recyle, showcasing SSS own brand.
For my recycling I've used skeleton leaves and garden twine.
I've rubbed some embossing ink on the lower part of the leaves and used similar colored Wow Embossing powders (Verdigris, Rose gold and gold sparkle). I've used the lowest setting on my Wow heat gun, just because I thought those leaves might catch fire really easily, so be warned...my house is still standing, but just saying.
I've stamped the sentimen with Versafine Clair ink onto the cardbase, it's from Simon Says Stamp It's your birthday3x4 set.
