TLC 209 and MOJO 75

Hi!

I made this card for two challenges. the first is for the Technique Lover's Challenge to use rubber bands and embossing powders. I used several bands and wrapped them around an acrylic block and stamped a piece of WW with versa mark and embossed with an emerald color powder. I then used Apricot Appeal ink to brayer on my color over the embossed areas. I left a distressed look. The sketch is the Mojo sketch for the week. I flipped it to accommodate my image. The frog and mushroom were stamped in tuxedo black and colored in with Copics. I cut out the frog and adhered him on top of the mushroom with a dimensionals. The image was then layered with the rectangle nesties. The flower image panel was stamped in tuxedo black and colored in the Copis too and then I added black brads for the centers. I used the arch lattice Martha Stewart punch for the edging on the bottom panel. The image panel is up on foam tape.

I went ahead and did the inside of my card too since I used Always Artichoke for my base card, I needed to put in a piece of white card stock so I could put in a message. I stamped the mushroom and colored it in with Copics and added a layer on the side for more decoration.

Thanks for stopping by!

TLC207 Cut it Out and Mojo 73

Hi everyone and happy Monday! I made this card for the MoJo 73 sketch and for the Technique Lovers Challenge on SCS. I bought this H & M a while ago and I am just now getting to ink it up! Isn't it just darling?? I used SU Autumn Vine dsp that was is the holiday mini. The base is Sage Shadow, then layered with Chocolate Chip and two of the patterns from the dsp set. I made the rectangle from Really Rust and die cut with the nesties. The palm tree was colored in with SU Chocolate Chip and Sage shadow markers and I stamped the palm leaves again onto a separate sheet of white and cut it out and placed it on top of the stamped image.

The dino was stamped onto white cardstock and cut out and adhered with a dimensional.

The sentiment was stamped in Chocolate Chip and added to the bottom of the image. I used SU's slot punch to run the felted ribbon through. I then tied it together with some hemp twine.

I am not too happy with this, I am sure I will make another with this sketch. I do appreciate you taking the time to stop by!

Featured Stamper: Vicky Gould

Hello and happy Sunday! I am finally getting around to posting my card for today's Featured Stamper on SCS today: Vicky Gould.

She has an amazing gallery. We are to CASE a card of hers and make our own and change two or more things on it. I chose this one: Piper's 40th Anniversary. I loved the layout. I kept he LOVE theme and the cuttled bg, but changed colors, omitted the ribbon and added a button, used my Labels 2 nesties to frame the main image. I used the new SU set from the bundle promotion.

I stamped the image in Memento Black Tuxedo and colored it in with Prisma pencils and gamsol with a blending stump. I stamped the large heart in Ridinghood Red and cut it out and attached with dimensionals. I then stamped the three hearts in Pale Plum and punched them out and attached two over the flower image and one on the large heart.

I apologize for the picture. Our camera is not working and I had to scan :(.

Thanks for stopping by!

Inspiration Challenge

Happy Saturday all!

I made this card for today's Inspiration Challenge on SCS. I chose this item for mine: Espresso.

I love the simple design and the colors. I made mine into a birthday card since I don't drink coffee, plus I need a birthday card for my sons friend from Pre-School who is having a party next Saturday.

I started with a piece of Ruby Red and ran that through the Swiss Dots folder, I then added a layer of River Rock (I still love this color) and used the thin Ric Rac strip for the edges in place of the decorative one on the original. The image is from Our Craft Lounge Anna Mae. It stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with SU markers and blender pen. I layered this up with the Labels 2 nesties and placed it up on dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Ruby Red directly onto the River Rock!

This was so simple!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Color Challenge 201, OCCC

Good morning and happy Tuesday. here is my card for today's Color Challenge to use Kraft, Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy. If you look at a post from a couple of days ago, I almost used the same colors. I actually pulled out these exact colors and thought, no, these don't right together so I grabbed Buckaroo Blue and Bashful Blue with Kraft. Well I couldn't have been more wrong, these colors are awesome together. So, here is my card using Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze and Kraft. I actually just purchased Kraft!! LOVE IT!! Okay, on to the card.

I used Kraft for my base and I ran it through the Cuttlebug with Swiss dots. I used the Labels 2 nesties to cut out the focal image panel. The images are from Autumn Leaves, Pocket Silhouettes and Best Yet. I colored in the images with inks and a blender pen. I used Close to Cocoa for the center of the flower, then NQN and Baja for the rest. I put Crystal Effects on the center blue of the flower. I cut out the image and adhered with a dimensionals. The butterfly is from the same set. I also colored in with inks and a blender pen. It is also adhered with a dimensionals.

I added a large silver brad to the panel a button on the sentiment panel.

The Sentiment panel is stamped with an image from Pocket Silhouettes in Baja Breeze and the sentiment is stamped in NQN.

Limited Supply 202- Hearts

Hi! I made another one for this fun challenge to use hearts, but the catch was the it use pink or red, heart image, embossed hearts or anything that has any of the above on the card. I went with an all Pink Pirouette and Whisper White card. I did the negative embossed folder technique with the block heart folder. The image was stamped in Dazzle Versamark and then Pink Pirouette and clear embossed, I did the same for the sentiment, I cut them out with my nesties and layered the, on Pink Pirouette, Each fo the images are up on dimensionals. The ribbon is wrapped half way around the card and adhered in the back. I made the bow and attached a big pink button in the middle.

Here is a close up of the sentiment. I used stickles for the heart. It is really sparkly IRL. You can kind of see the shimmer on the letters from the Versamark.

Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific weekend!

The star brad was dipped in dazzle versamark, then Kiwi Kiss and clear EP. It is is hard to see, it kind of look gold from far away.

Instead of doing triangle which I do not like to do, I went with the Labels 2 nesties. I used the colors, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Barely Banana and Pacific Blue. The exclamation pint is from the retired Brushstroke Alphabet and it is embossed in black. I then traced around the edges with a black Bic marker. I stamped the sentiment in Basic Black.

This card is the Cuppy Cake one. I thought it was just adorable. I used the Inkidinkado cupcake set. I stamped each cupcake in black, colored in the tops with my Copics. I used the 1/1 inch circle punch for the cherries in Real Red cs and the stems are small pieces of black cs cut very thin and I wrapped them around my finger to get them to curl. I used the word window punch for the base and each cupcake is on a dimensional. I stamped the sentiment is Orchid Opulence.
