It's time for another challenge at Your Next Stamp, and it's one of my favorite themes...

Show us your clean and simple skills with this challenge!

   

I had this cute gnome from Happy Gnomies colored up and just waiting to be used, so I popped him up on this clean and simple card.

   

   

I cut the Puffy Cloud Border to "float" him in front of, and the entire panel is cut with the Stitched Rectangles. The tiny hearts are from the centers of the Heart Border Die.

I'm playing along in a couple of Facebook Challenges with today's card:

     

I colored up another cutie from the Springtime Girl Digital Image Pack...

   

  

I was gifted this one sheet of patterned paper, so I'm not sure where it's from? But it's very pretty, and glittery! I paired it with a scrap of Doodlebug dotty paper, colored the cute girl to match, and added a bit of Stardust Stickles to the centers of the flowers. The background is sponged with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, and I added a sentiment from an old Clearly Besotted stamp set.

Playing a little catch-up today, as I realized I never shared the card I made for my little guys birthday earlier this summer!

I thought Roboto from Tiddly Inks was perfect for the occassion!

  

     

I colored him with Copics, and paired him with a scrap of cute robot patterned paper from the Doodlebug Hip Hip Hooray 6x6 Pad. The background in sponged with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, and I used the matching reinker to create the splatters. The sentiment is from a retired Clearly Besotted set, and is heat embossed in white.

It's my day to share some New Release inspiration at Your Next Stamp!

I am featuring a super fun set called Happy Gnomies!

  

I love these guys!! I have already colored up all 4 of the images in this set, so I'll have more cards to share soon!

   

   

I colored this cutie in bright colors with my Copics, and cut him out with the coordinating outline die. My layers consist of a few different YNS dies, including the Stitched Rectangles, Circles, and Stitching Marks Circles. I added a small strip of yellow cardstock behind my sentiment, and a few Candy Corn Gumdrops to tie in the color scheme. I think this little gnomie is ready to bring a smile to someone's face!

I don't know about you, but our school situation has me a bit stressed out!

Regardless of what "Back to School" looks like this year, there are still going to be dedicated teachers to show our appreciation to!

  

When I saw this month's Mix It Up Challenge at SugarPea Designs, it was the perfect inspiration for inking up this cute Teacher's Pet!

   

                  

  

I used the sketch and photo for my inspiration, and I love how it turned out!

The bear is colored with Copics, and then I dabbed the "fur" with a washcloth soaked in Copic blending solution to get the fuzzy texture.
