Doodling Henna

This is MY version of what I saw on  the 'Mir'acle Art Inspiration blog. Since I could not find a tutorial for the design I just free hand drew my hand then doodles in the lines.

I started my project by brayering Rich Razzleberry, then Calypso Coral, ending with Daffodil Delight. Then I just started drawing a hand. Once the hand was drawn I doodled.

I'm off now for my vacay. See yall next week!

This week, Dynamic Duos is celebrating their 1 Year Anniversary! Congratulations ladies on your continued success. I enjoy playing Dynamic Duos because the color combos are always a challenge for me. However, I love Poppy Parade and Lucky Limeade! Green is my favorite color and I just think these two colors complement each other so well. My card was created using DCWV dsp and Stampin' Up! Stamps as well as Stampin' Up! ribbon, ink, die and punch.
Stamps : Stampin' Up! Beautiful Birthday, Betsy's Blossoms, Everything Eleanor

CS140

CASEStudy #140 - Maile Belles. Learned a new technique last week and figured I'd use it for this CASE. The technique is called Black Magic. Stamping on black cs with white in of a solid image. Then heating the ink dry. Then using colored pencils coloring over the white ink. I love this! It has the feel of tole painting.

If you love challenges like I do, head on over to the CASEStudy blog and join in on the fun!

Dynamic Duos #51 - daffodil delight and baja breeze. Also entering this one in the CASology challenge to use hexagons.

I really love my honey comb ef from Stampin' Up! I think it works on so many levels. Who says it has to be bees all the time? Not me! I went with some chipboard stickers from Pink Paislee and My Minds Eye. I incorporated my build a bird punch. Clean And Simple baby! That's what it's all about!

Catered Crop

Catered Crop - Make an Impression. I used a Stampin' Up! EF then I painted in the design with Ranger Pearls. I think it takes the "impression" to a whole new level.

What a fun challenge! Totally enjoyed it! If you want to play along too go to Catered Crop and join in!

MoJoMonday #291 - What a fabby sketch! I really like this one!!!
I used scraps from my stash to create this card. Love using up little bits and pieces of leftovers.

The image is from Stampin' Up! Serene Silhouettes. I used a Rubber Stamp Paint Box with rainbow colors to stamp my image on Whisper White cs. I wanted it to look like grass and sky but I stamped it wonky. In the end I like it! I also had a 6 inch piece of rainbow colored twine that I cut and taped behind my cardstock then tied a little knot with what was leftover. A couple of punches and some bird tail cuts and this one was fini'!

Dynamic Duos Challenge #50 - Calypso Coral and Blushing Bride.

For my card I used a Spellbinders Embossibilities folder. Inked up the inside with Calypso Coral. Then ran it through my Cuttlebug. The butterfly and sentiment are from Unity Stamps SOTW club - Real Happiness Shared. I added some Ranger pearls and some buttons from SU and Mossy Made.

Great color combo for those pastel lovers.

One Layer--The Paper Players Challenge #142

I got up feeling better than I have in months! That said, I made this card on Weds. when my gal pal Deb came to visit. But It was lacking something. I had just stamped the image and added the punched leaves. It was flat and quite frankly "bleh". So this morning, feeling all chipper I decided to add some Ranger Liquid Pearls. I am lovin' it NOW!

So, my thought for you is, if ever you create something and you are not completely happy with it; WALK AWAY. Leave it. Go do something else. Then when you are of a fresh mind, go back and see what you can do to make it an "I LOVE IT" project.

Hope today you have a little "Spring" in your step!

Little Tangles11

New Spellbinders Dies and my Tsukineko inks! Love these colors : Deep Lagoon, Spanish Moss, Toffee, and Imperial Purple. The die is so beautiful on it's own but when you cut with white cs and use these inks, they just enhance the die cute.

I added the swirl up top from New & Tangled stamp set My Heart Sings. Some Stampin' Up! pearls and a button and Voila! This card was created for the Little Tangles Challenge #11 EMBOSS IT! Go check out their blog and play along.
