Tennessee Here We Come

We're on the road from Ohio to Tennessee. Seems the weather will be the same whether we're here or there, HOT. Here we have a pool and AC. There we have a hot tub and two jacuzzi's and AC. I have more cards from the virtual stamp night on SCS.
This card challenge was to make a baby card with things that move.  So, I chose animals and rattles.

The next challenge was to read the poem the Edmond Fitzgerald and make a card using the poem as inspiration.

The line that stuck with me was, The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald. This is country chapel, a Stampscapes stamp. I stamped on glossy card stock then used daubers and ink to color the image. I added brown and white twine and embossed with the wooded embossing folder.

For this challenge you had to make a reflective image.

This is my reflective image. I used the three deer from Noble deer and stamped them and colored them. I stamped on acetate and made that upside down under the deer. I tried to use papers that matched the colors in both images.

Here's my card for the map challenge. You had to use a map on your card. I printed a map of the United States then ripped it and distressed it with inks. I added it to the retired SU paper called nautical expedition. I used my label maker for the words and added rhinestones for the two cities my sister and I are in. I'm in Cleveland and she's in Milwaukee. I added a new flower from SU.

This is my card for the new technique challenge. I did the melted flower technique. I stamped the image in black then colored in copic markers. I cut out the image with the scallop oval dies from Nestabilities. I embossed the background with handwriting to mimic the stamped words. I made the flower then heat it. Not sure I want to do that again. Can't imagine what types of things came out of the ribbon when I heated it. Probably not good to breath in. Anyway, I used cherry ribbon and added a pearl in the center.

 This is my encouragement card. I stamped and colored this cute little High Hopes mouse called, Headstand Mouse using copic markers. I cut out the image with the nesties scallop ovals. I added paisley embossing folder and the encouragement is in the verse balanced on his feet.

Here's food for thought for the day.

Blessings from the day: On vacation
