CTD376

My entry for the Color Throw Down Challenge #376. The colors are pale pink, pale blue and tan. My butterflies are from Inkadinkadoo. I colored with color pencils and added a bit of Wink of Stella to them for some sparkle. I used Spellbinders Shapeabilities Ornate Squares. I daubed the Close To My Heart - blush and sky on to my die cut. Then using a color pencil I scribbled hash marks on the center. I used a Martha Stewart border punch on a piece of dsp from Glitz paper pack called Love you madly. It's all mounted on dimensional adhesives onto Stampin' Up! Pink Pirouette cs. The little Pastel Flowers are from The Paper Studio.

Play Date with D & L

The first card you see below is actually the last one I made on our play date. But I am falling hard for Brushos. This card has heavy and light sprinkles of brushos in Turquoise and Purple. The background I sprinkled heavily the Brusho powders and spritzed with water. Then the flowers were done on a separate piece of cs, lightly sprinkled with Brushos then spritzed. The stems and leaves are from my SU Build a Bird punch. I just used Rangers liquid pearls to add the veins.

The next two cards were designed by Lorna on the left and Deb on the right.

Believe it or not, Lorna little patchwork pinwheel is made up of little squares! So cute!

Deb's card was created using dies, papers and stamps from a kit she brought along for us to play with. Love both of these cards!

The next two cards were designed by Lorna on the left and me on the right. Lorna used Stampin' Up! stamps and inks to create this super spring look! We added Wink of Stella to the flower petals and little rhinestones to some of the flower centers.

The card I designed was really quite simple. I used a deep plum colored cs as my base. Then with scraps I started making little pendants in varying sizes and matted them with contrasting colors. I used a piece of white twine to make my string. Added a few rhinestones colored with Sharpies to give a little flash. The sentiment is stamped with Versa Mark and heat embossed in white. The stamp is from SU! stamp set Feel Goods.

I love these gals so much. They pick me up when I'm down. They make me laugh. They inspire me. They love me unconditionally. Life is good!

Unda da sea

This card was created using a varied array of supplies.
I started with SU! Whisper White cs. Using a dauber I applied TSUKINEKO pigment inks -- Toffee, Imperial Purple, Deep Lagoon and Spanish Moss. Then placing a few different stencils in the bottom right hand corner I applied Imperial Purple and Blue Lagoon. Then with Staz-On Black I stamped Textures Water Droplets (CM-T3) from Designs by Ryn. I added white gel pen to highlight the droplets. I used a stencil from Layers of Color Natural Flourish and daubed on Spanish Moss.
Then on another piece of cs I stamped the little seahorse from Pink Paislee's Nantucket stamp set. With my daubers I rubbed on the TSUKINEKO inks. Then I took my Stickles and added some glitz. Lastly I added some rhinestones and call it done. Hope you like my little trip to the ocean. It's been mighty chilly here in North Central Texas for the past week. I was just envisioning some warmer temps.

Designs by Ryn has a challenge going on right now. So if you want to play along just click HERE and it will take you to the challenge.

Have a blessed day!

Play Date with Deb 6-12

I recently had another play date with my gal pal Deb and below are the cards we made. The 1st one below is a stamp set from Art Impressions of an English Cottage - L3496. Deb used my stamps to stamp the scenes. Then we each colored them differently using the same color palette. This one is mine.

The card below was stamped using the Stampin' Up! Retired Hostess set Simply Sketched . I stamped in Ranger Archival Black then colored with Copic markers. Using framelits from Stampin' Up! cut the image and then a matte from dsp. Added from ribbon and glittery chipboard.

For the card below, Deb had some dsp and a die cut swirly corner. I stamps more swirls with versa mark and used some embossing powder in purple to match. Stamped the little dragonfly and popped him up with dimensionals. Added some rhinestones. 

We always have great fun on our play dates. Looking forwatd to our next time together.

I'm so excited! This card won me a guest designer spot at Color Throwdown! Thanks Y'all!


Hello and Happy Sunday to all!
Have you been in a rut when it comes to your cardmaking? No! Well I have. I have been making cards for almost 2 decades now and I find through the years my style has changed multiple times. But, for the most part it's still an image and a sentiment with some pretty dsp and cs with a little embellishment thrown in. That said, I am still; usually behind the trend. Take today's card for instance. I think stapling has been around the bend for quite some time. Given... Well, tough tooties, I used them anyway. May not make me a challenge winner but I think they worked for this one.
So what I say to you is, it doesn't matter. Fad or trend; if you like it use it! I DID!!!

 

My entry for Freshly Made #138 and Color Throw Down #294.

Crazy4Challenges #223 - sketch.

I am crazy 4 challenges!!! I loved this sketch. So fun and I recently purchased a Grand Calibur machine and some new dies and embossing folders. The flourishes on my card are one of the "free" dies that came with my purchase. It's a tree. I just poked the trunks up underneath my panels, added some bows and seed beads and I'm lovin' it!
I sponged some SU Strawberry Slush ink and spritzed with some Old Olive ink mixed with alcohol, and Champagne Mist. I used my markers to dab ink onto my stamp and then huffed and stamped.

If you enjoy challenges or sketches or both, head on over to Crazy 4 Challenges.
