And now...
let's looks at some cards!
I've been having the best time creating cards this week 

with an assortment of fabulous Blue Knight Rubber Stamps!
(And pairing them up...at times...with a great Heidi Pettie CLOUD STENCIL 

that Blue Knight offers)

I'm really excited to share today's cards with you because...

1. The stamp, MASON'S VIEW, is adorable

2. The stamped image was lots of fun to color

3. The stamped image inspired me to create a "wobble card"

(Something that I haven't done in a really long time)

My love of this stamp means that I've got 3 cards to share with you today...

All similar...but different.
Each colored in a different way

and each with it's own look.

First up for sharing...

The Copic and Polychromos pencil colored version 

with the stenciled cloudy sky.
(How cute is this stamped image!?!)
I gave the entire image a base layer of Copic color..

then went back and added shading with Polychromos pencils.
I used a blender pen (Copic) to blend the pencil layering and shading.
I chose to create a blue "beetle"

(Memories from my teen years....when my sister-in-law...

who was then my brother's girlfriend...had a blue Volkswagen Beetle)
After the image was colored and the cloudy sky was stenciled

I cropped the image layer and matted it with kraft card stock.

Next, I chose a great print that has a map on it...

and matted the print with the same kraft card stock.
After the matted print was in place...

I positioned the matted image layer with a large piece of fun foam

for added dimension

I SO enjoyed creating this card....

I just couldn't stop after making just one card...

So...

I created a grey version.
This time...The entire image was colored with Copic Markers only.
 I chose a dotted grey and navy print and matted both the print and image layer 

with pewter colored metallic card stock.
The image layer was positioned with a large piece of fun foam for added dimension.

I added silver metallic thread to the left of the image to complete the card

Here's a close up...

You can see the metallic thread 

and the metallic card stock matting

nicely in this photo.

And then...

because I was enjoying coloring and creating cards so much 

with this MASON'S VIEW stamp

I had to make just one more card!
This time...
I decided to create a "wobble card"

I stamped the image...and colored it with Polychromos Pencils.
I used a Copic Blender pen to blend the pencil layering and shading.
When the image was colored...I cut it out...

Chose some coordinating prints
Matted the prints with bronze colored metallic card stock
Positioned and adhered the print layers to the card front.

Once the print layers were in place...

I used a "Wobble Spring" to position the car image

You can see the wobble Spring in this photo...attached to the back of the car piece

Here's a little peek at the movement that the Wobble Spring

that gives the car piece the ability to wiggle and move

I really had lots of fun creating today's cards

and am SO glad that I chose to create a Wobble card

with this MASON'S VIEW stamped image!
I'm already wanting to make a few more Wobble cards

with this wonderful stamp!
