YNS- Fun Friday

Hello Everyone TGIF :) I am so excited for it to be Friday, I have a super fun Saturday planned for little boy and myself. We are going to go on a little car trip to go to Americas biggest craft store, Crafts Direct. It's only about an hour away from me and I have been saving up some money to do a craft shopping spree. We also will of course do lunch and hit up a couple toy stores.
I am also excited it's Friday because that means we have another Fun Friday challenge taking place over at the YNS Blog.
I used today's color inspiration for my card....
YNS Products Used:
 
 
 
 
 
Image Colored using Spectrum Noirs and Background Spectrum Aquas
Bunny: EB1,EB2,CR3,BG5
Umbrella: BG5-BG7, LV1,PL1-PL2,HB1,LV2

I decided to use the Large Ink Splatter stamp set, for background to make it look like splashed water. I stamped using VersaMark Dazzle Frost ink and then sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set to give the effect of water.
 
I hope you all enjoy, be sure to head on over to the YNS blog to check out the other gals creations!

YNS Fun Friday: Color Challenge # 14

Hello everyone, Happy Friday!! I have a card to share with you all for the new Fun Friday challenge up over on the YNS blog. Normally, I always end up using the sketch, so I decided to switch things up and use the Color Challenge photo instead.
I merged my two critters by stamping my porcupine first and then masking off and stamping over with the fox. I stamped them on Crafters Companion kraft cardstock. I colored my images using both my Spectrum Noir Markers & Pencils.
Pattern Paper: Echo Park
Enamel Dots: DoodleBug Designs
