SoftPencil's Challenges @ PCP

SoftPencil's Challenges @ PaperCraft Planet. I think I may have screwed up on this one. I used a digital image, unfortunately it was not one of SoftPencil's. This is one of a set of free images from CocoaStudioDesigns. Anyway, if Elizabeth tells me it does not qualify for the challenge it would be another option for Stacey's CCCCA23. :O)
SoftPencil challenges us this week to use ribbons and bow. Well, I REALLY love this ribbon. Unfortunately, I only had about 8 inches of it left. So no 'real' bow here. I used a 4.5 inch piece to go across my card. The I punched holes in my image cardstock and ran 1 piece through one side at a time and tied a knot, then I taped it down on the back. Moved across to the other side and did the same thing. So I have 3 little scraps of ribbon on this card. Now my lovely ribbon is all gone. :O(

Hope you like the card I created. Come join SoftPencil's challenge. I'd love to see what you come up with.

Pretty in Pink - SSCCCCA23

Pretty in Pink - Stampin' Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge #23 - pretty in pink, whisper white, basic black and kraft. The flowers are a two sided stamp that was a gift many years ago. When I saw Stacey's challenge I knew I wanted to do flowers. Then the search was on for the right size, style and shape. I stumbled on this stamp way back in the back of my stamp drawer and when I saw it I simply said, "AHA!"
So I stamped it three times on whisper white in Fresco -Vatican Wine. Then I flipped the stamp over and inked up the outline in Encore! Ultimate Metallice Satin Rose. Then I used my Zing glitter embossing powder in pink and heat embossed the outline rose.
I used my newly learned technique of brayer-ing on the whisper white cardstock starting with Color Box Pink Pastel, then Color Box Rouge and finally lightly over the top with Fresco Vatican Wine. The label-esq stamp is from Stampin' Up and I stamped it in Stampabilites Black. My arrows were hand cut.

My Sunshine - SSCCCCA22

You are my sunshine - Stampin' Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge Act#22. The colors for this week's Curtain Call are: Real Red, Pink Passion, YoYo Yellow, Basic Black and Whisper White. My cardstocks are all SU - pink passion, basic black and whisper white. I stamped my dandelion in black, red, pink and yellow. Then I came back with pale pink, red and yellow and added 3 more blossoms. These stamps are all from the same set at Close To My Heart. The shape of the white and black was hand cut. I just wanted to see something different than my regular squares, circles, ovals and rectangles. So there you have it! I also pierced the black in the upper left hand corner.

Happy Valentine's Day - a 3fer

Hi There! This will probably be my only post for today. It's lunch time and then this evening I am watching the SuperBowl. GEAUX SAINTS! FINISH STRONG!!!

Above you will see my card for today. This one covers 3 challenges. The first challenge is over at Stampin' Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge and it's #16! Real Red, Very Vanilla, Kraft

The second challenge is Crazy 4 Challenges to make a Valentine card.

The third challenge is from Sweet `N Sassy's The Sweet Stop challenge to make a round card.

The tiny heart border all around my card is NOT a border punch. Those are all INDIVIDUALLY punched hearts and painstaking glued on, one by one.

L-O-N-G time, no see. 2fer

Hi Again!
I've been busy working on this card and I am sorry the picture is so cra$$y. I think I need a better camera or at least one that can zoom closer and makes a clearer picture. Anyhoo, this is my brand spankin' new stamp from Whimsy Stamps called Whimsy Giraffe. I love GIRAFFES!
This card qualifies as a 2-fer; Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge Act #15 and MOJO MONDAY#125. I used the sketch for the MOJO and I used Stacey's color challenge combo - Lavender Lace (my Giraffe's spots are Lavender, so are some of the petals of my flower and a matte on my sentiment), Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White and Garden Green. My little flower was created by unsing my tiny heart punch and pieceing colored pieces together; even the leaves are some tiny hearts punched and placed with the points outward.
All cardstock is Stampin' Up! Ink is Colorbox Cadmium Yellow, Copics, sentiment is computer generated.
