Anita Jeram Stay Curious and Mama Elephant general multi use card

Hello everyone, and welcome to another challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More. This will be the last challenge of the year but it will be back after Christmas. I hope you are all well and if you are in the UK, I hope you are coping with the VERY strange political times we are in!

This time we have our Make Your Mark Challenge so we'd like to see you use your inks, paints, markers, pencils etc.

I came up with this card

I began by stamping the NBUS image called, Stay Curious from Colarado Craft Company, colouring it with Copics and fussy cutting it out.I then lightly inked the background with Distress Oxide inks. I die cut some white card with the Papertrey Ink Aztec die and then die cut the aperture with one of the My Favourite Things Stitched Arch Stax dies.

The sentiment comes from the Mama Elephant Up and Away stamp set and I decided to use this so the card could be adapted for many occasions depending on what I decide to stamp inside. I like to keep a few cards like this in my stash so I can quickly come up with a card in an emergency. I used one of the green Copic pens to provide a layer that matched and then mounted everything up using some foam tape for dimension.

As always, my talented teamies have some fabulous inspiration over on the ATSM Blog, and you can link your card up over there if you decide to join us.

I'd like to play along at

Anita Jeram Christmas Presents Christmas card

Hello everyone and welcome to the next challenge over at ATSM.

This time we have our Christmas Challenge and I came up with this card. As we often don't have snow in my neck of the woods until after Christmas, I decided to put this cute dog in the garden without a snowflake in sight!

I used my new Colorado Craft Company Christmas Presents stamp set from Anita Jeram. I stamped the dog and presents and then made a mask before inking in the sky and using Copic pens for the grass. After the mask was removed, I coloured the dog and presents with Copics too, and added some glossy accents to his nose. To frame the image, I cut a stitched oval to create an aperture and raised this on fun foam to create some depth. The sentiment is from the same set and I added a few tiny stars from a Clearly Besotted set.
