The Friday Mashup! Challenge #217: penny for your thoughts

The Friday Mashup! Challenge #217: penny for your thoughts.

I've used a Lili of the Valley stamp (just a note) for the image and for the sentiment a Simon Says Stamp set (stinkin'cute 3x4)

I've colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers, stamped with Memento tuxedo black ink.
I've free handed the thought bubble, you can probably tell.. ;-)

I've used Neenah classic crest utlra smooth solar white paper, it's quite the mouthfull but it's the best paper for alcohol markers I've found so far.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: get in shape with Lawn Fawn.

To make a shaped card I Used Oval dies to draw a stack of pebbles and traced that onto two pieces of cardstock and cut it out.

then used the mini blending tool and Distress inks to color the pebbels, the details are made with alcohol markers from Spectrum Noir and Sharpie white pen.

I used the snail and mushroom from Lawn Fawn's Gleeful garden and their dies to place them on the rocks.
the sentiment is from My favorite things (bold statements)

I've used Ranger Distress re-inkers to do some watercoloring on 300grams smooth  hot pressed watercolor paper from Schut (but any will do) then diecut the butterflies from Joy crafts! from the watercolor paper. the Simon Says Stamp die (small hello) was used on some glitter paper  I made into a sticker. Panel mounted with foam tape. the rhinestones are from a generic shop and the small ones are from my manicure basket...don't tell anyone ;-) I've used Aleene's fast grab tacky glue to stick it all on the front panel.

Less is More challenge #232: one layer masculine

Less is More challenge #232: one layer masculine.

I went  to the craft store to get this ship stamp because today they had 20% off all stamps...I also got one with a lot, and i mean a lot of Christmas sentiments, then I restrained myself from getting another 20 sets or so...lol...there's one Penny Black set I wish I could have gotten but even with the  discount I felt I should wait...I was good :-)

The ship image is from Studio Light (summer at the beach) and the sentiment is from Joy Crafts! (seashore) Stamped them with Stazon. and I've sponged some mermaid lagoon around the ship and splattered  mermaid lagoon spray (both from Distress ink line).
I feel, the sentiment lacks a : ...correct me if I'm wrong, i'm not an English master, but I feel it needs it..so I'm now going to add it in ;-)

Furry kisses

 I've made this card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: furry friends with Newton Nook's stamps,
and the Freshly made Sketches challenge #194

I don;t have any Newton Nook's products, sadly but lots of Furry friends items.
I got this die today without knowing and I had to  put it straight to "work".

Made a top panel slightly smaller than the cardbase and  diecut a square window.
Die cut the little doggy from Marianne design as well as the bones and shawl.
the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps set Furry kisses 3x4
 I've sponged some Cracked Pistachio Distress inks onto the cardbase where the window will be and  glues the bones for fun all over.
I've colored the bones and doggy and shawl thingy, collar I don't know ( cat person here lol) with Copic and Spectrum Noir markers.
I raised the top panel with foam. Also got a non stick scissors from Scotch today and I love that, no more sticking ot the blades! Titanium anti  adherent it's called.
