Happy New Year! The Wilderness Awaits....

Well, it is another 10 months until I begin posting Christmas cards again and I will tell ya, I am relieved to show you some things other than Christmas stuff!  How about a few masculine cards using The Wilderness Awaits stamp set?  Just a little inspiration for those upcoming birthdays!

In this card, we stamped the duck using StazOn ink so we could color the duck using an Aquapainter and Classic inks.  Lots of layering and the English Garden Designer Series Paper brought this look together.

All Aboard!

Wouldn't you just love to grab one of these tickets and be able to use it to climb on that luxury liner for a two week cruise through the Caribbean?  I would.  Oh how a girl can dream!  This card was inspired by a card made by KVSquires on Splitcoaststampers.  She used the train from this very versatile set but I had a loftier dream of setting sail for warm waters.  What is your dream and can you make it into a card?

I love this sentiment for a birthday, don't you?  Our family survives on sarcasm and this sentiment is perfect for any one of them.
