Cityscapes, Landscapes & Instagram

The weather has been very wintry here for the last several days. We have snow on the ground and it is cold outside. (The windchill is 10 below zero as I type this post at 9:20pm) I didn't get very much done on Sunday. After working a long week at my day job, I usually need a day to rest and unwind. Since it was so cold, we pretty much snuggled on the couch and watched Suits episodes. Don't judge me, but we are watching them on Amazon for the second time. I'm a "Harvey fan". 

I woke up this morning with some new ideas for cityscapes and another landscape using the Waterfront stamp set. Seriously, you NEED this stamp set! Many times when I come up with a new idea, I post the cards on some demonstrator facebook pages to get feedback before I do a blog post with them. I have to say, all 3 of these samples went over quite well. In fact, the cityscapes went over so well, I am working on a video showing how I made them. 

Don't you just love the sample above?? So artsy and I adore the die cut word! This word die is just one of the 3 in the set called Celebrate You Thinlits Dies in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. This is a level 2 "freebie". All you have to do is purchase $100 before tax & shipping in order to earn this die set. My online store is here. Once you put your items totaling at least $100 in your shopping cart, you will have the option to list these word dies as your free Sale-A-Bration item. It is item #146840. 

Tried the same "recipe" for the above card, just used different ink colors. I know you can't tell, but I have randomly applied Clear Wink of Stella to the buildings, word and the edge of the black layer. These 2 cityscape cards are stunning in person. 

The above card was inspired by landscape prints I have seen various places online by White Doe Prints. I loved the somewhat contemporary feel to this card. 

As I stated above, I will be filming a video showing how I used the stamps below to create the cityscapes. This set is really a value at only $17!

The other really awesome thing that happened today is that I hit the 500 followers mark on Instagram. If you don't already follow me, please think about doing so. I post some of my random artwork on there that doesn't always make it on to my blog. 

Need/want everything and want free stuff? For every $50 you spend (before tax and shipping from any of the Stampin' Up! catalogs or clearance), choose a FREE product from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Plus, new this year: Earn even bigger rewards when you spend $100 (before tax and shipping). Just look for the $50 and $100 reward icons throughout the brochure. Both new catalogs are on my right side bar. Just click on the pictures of the covers.
