JPDC#10 - CSWZNTSS#11

Jazzy's Paper Designs Challenge #10 - Herbie Hancock and the HeadHunters. Fab colors in this CD cover and such fun imagery to look at. I am sponsoring this challenge and I gave the DT members 3 of my digital images to play with. My card features my image flowerpower8. It's colored with American Crafts Stamp Markers. I smudged some tempting turquoise around the flower. I stamped the flower branch from the SU collection embrace life in night of navy and ruby red. Dps are from Basic Grey and Debbie Mumm.

My digis sent to the DT are below. There's a link to my etsy shop in my side bar.

Thanks for Looking

A word of encouragment - CSWZNJuly2010

CardSketchesWithZacksNana - July 2010 sketch and my example.

I made my card in a tri-fold format. I used my Top Note die in my Cuttlebug to make the flap on the left front. Cardstock is from Bazzill and dp is from Basic Grey and DCWV. The candy jar is one of Zack'sNana's digital image. I colored with Spica and silver roller gel pens. Brad is from Kaiser. The sentiment is also one made up by me. If you'd like a challenge every month and enjoy swapping your creations then beat a path over to my cardgroup on yahoo and sign up! My friend Trish Davey also creates Sunday Sketches just for fun.

Happy 4th! - CSBZNJuneSwap

This image is from Nina May of Paper Cup Cake Stamps. I just thought he was so cute peeking out the top of the paper. I colored with Close To My Heart makers red and blue. The stamps are a hodge podge of bits and pieces I put together to get my sentiment. This card was made for my June swap at CardSketchesWithZacksNana. You don't have to join the group to play along. You can simply create your project and post a link in the comments. ****NOTE****I'd LOVE to see what you create with my sketches.

Friend - CSBZNMay2010sample & SPDS March

Friend - CardSketchesByZacksNana - May 2010 example card & SoftPencil Digital Studio March Challenge ribbons & bows. The little Japanese girl is one of SoftPencil's digitals. Isn't she just too cute! I had some scrap designer paper from Tinkering Ink Botanical Bliss paper pad. I don't know about you but when I think anything Asian or Oriental I think red, black and gold. Below you will see snapshots of how I created the black matte for my image and for the frame.

1) I used my 2 5/16" circle punch and punced my image. Then I punched a piece of black cardstock with my 3" scalloped circle. Then I used my 1" circle punch and punched around the white circle cutting half a scallop a whole scallop and another half scallop. Then I would skip the same. And so on. Below is how it turned out. It's not equal all around. But it really doesn't matter. It still  has that Oriental feel to it (think of the roofs of their buildings).

2) For my matte I punched my half flowers first. Then I cut two slits on either end of the two middle flowers. I slid the deckled rectangle nestie up into those slots leaving the flowers outside so the nestie would not cut through.

FINI~
