FFF No Coloring Challenge

This challenge is WAY outta my comfort zone. It was so hard not to color but I managed. Kind of a simple card, but I thought it came out nice. I used a nestabilitie to cut out the background and used some pattern paper to accent. I was going for a more sepia tone but it just didn't want to go that way. I think sometimes these stamps and layouts have a mind of their own on how they want to be used. :)

DeNami One Layer Challenge #10

So, DeNami is having another challenge for their awesome stamps, ONE LAYER!! Wow so I was thinking of what to do then I found it! Masking! I love to play with masking (and the Post It "labels" make the BEST masks of all, cause the whole thing sticks and removes without rippin paper!!). So I masked the top portion and punched a hole in the mask and stuck that to the paper then inked the night sky. Then I flipped the mask around, stamped my super cool Pirate Chickie, and then masked him and some sand  and inked the water. Then I switched it again, masked the chickie and water and inked the sand, and used a sand stamp to add bigger pebbles. Then lifted all my masks and voila! Chickie hanging out on the beach in the moonlight. I then drew some waves and added some stickles to the water where the moon would be shining, and colored my Pirate with markers and added some stickles to his beak and sword. Lastly, I stamped some DeNami palm trees in black then shaded them with a brown and wrote my sentiment: "peace and quiet" in blue. This was a super fun challenge! Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed!
