My card base is 4.25" x 4.25".

I truly love coloring birds. This little fellow is no exception. I used water color pencils.

Freshly Made

Today I played with the sketch over at Freshly Made. This card was created for Challenge #180 -- using the sketch below. 

 To start off I tried something "NEW". Well at least it is new to me. Have YOU ever heard of Bister/Bitre??? YouTube has several tutorials on Bister. Just type Bister in the search bar at YouTube. You won't be sorry.

I hadn't until last week. You see I was just looking around on Pinterest for some new techniques I could try on my cards. I was getting into a rut and wanted to do something different. So when I stumbled across Bister I said, "I've got to get me some of that!" Then I immediately popped over to I Brake for Stamps and bought all 8 colors. Very reasonably priced!!! You get these 8 little pots. Mind you, a little goes a LONG way! On my card I used Red, Mahogany and Yellow Bister. Spritzed with clear water and sat back and watched the magic happen!!!

Once my Bister piece was dry I took a piece of my clear sheets from Stampin' Up! and stamped the large flower from the Nature's Perfection Sale-a-brations set in Versa Mark and heat embossed with white em powder. Then I trimmed around the bottom edges of the stamped flowers, so I would have that rounded effect that is on the FM sample.

I then stamped the Hello from SU! set My Friend in black ink on SU! dsp. Then I stamped the bird and its feet and feather from SU! Language of Friendship set in Versa Mark and heat embossed in white. Then I flicked in some real red with my marker. I assembled the bird and used dimensionals to attach it to the sentiment. Finished it off with some SU! twine and some beads from my stash. 

Then I called this one DONE!

Curtain Call Pajama Party

Curtain Call Pajama Party - I started out with a set of stamps and just rolled with them. I used a punch for the banners and colored my images with markers. I hope Stacey's crew and the Cat's Pajamas Gang like it.

Thanks for looking.

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.

Take It to Heart MOM10

Makeover Monday Challenge #10 with Paper Crafter's Library was to be inspired by the card on the right from Jessica Witty.

I don't think I fell too far off the mark with my Blushing Bride/Basic Black card. This card was created using the New Stampin' Up! set Take it to Heart which can be found in the NEW Occasions Mini Catalog  (pg. 14).The image was stamped in Versa Mark and heat embossed using black ep. I Also used the NEW HEARTS FRAMELITS which can also be found in the mini (pg. 6). My sentiment was created using one the Modern Label Punch and the Modern Label stamp from the Tea Shoppe set (pg. 19 in the mini)which is in the KIT I am offering. The small buttons are the Twitterpated buttons (pg.12) which are also in the KIT!
