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!

TLC 201 Fun Funky Fold

Hi,
Here is my card for today's challenge for the Fun Funky Fold. I guess I made it right! It was so easy and fun to make. I made the fold from Basic Gray Archaic dp. I punched a scallop circle from my Marvy punch in Baroque Burgundy and another small circle in brown. I ran both through the cuttlebug distressed embossing folder. I stamped the alligator in Always Artichoke, cut it out and adhered with a large pop dot. The balloons where stamped in the same colors, cut out and up on pop dots. The birthday hat was colored in with SU! markers, cut out and up on a dimensional. The hemp for the balloons are adhered with small pop dots under neath the balloons and again at the mouth. I attached a coordinating brad, stamped the sentiment, punched it out with the word window punch and attached with pop dots. The main image panel is attached onto a slight larger piece of Baroque Burgundy with dimensionals which is also embossed with the distressed folder.The hemp string is wrapped around the card from the back of the fold. I punched two slots on each side and pulled the string through. I left enough slack so when it is opened, it can open all the way.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week and Happy New Year!!

Technique Lover's Challenge, Limelight Challenge

Hi!

Here is my card for today's TLC on SCS called Speckled Background. I stared with a piece of glossy cardstock and used my brayer with a spectrum ink pad and brayered the cardstock. I next stamped the trees and bird with Dazzle versamark and embossed in black. I then too my mini mister filled with Hydrogen Peroxide and misted the cardstock. I made this beautiful speckled image! How neat!! I made the bow and attached with a glue dot. I also made this card for a challenge over on this blog: http://mylittlecreativeescape.blogspot.com/, in which we were to use a bird and tree on our card. I just love the way this turned out! I left off a sentiment because I just did not have any room for it. I used Basic Black and Rose Red cardstock.

Christmas Tree Box-TCL194

Hi everyone!
Here is my project for today! Now I know why I don't do triangles!! LOL!! I made this from the template seen here: Christmas Tree Template. This was fun to make, but the triangles did me in! I used non traditional colors for this. I had seen alot of River Rock used lately and I just love this color so I pulled it out for today. I then realized that I don't have ANY good Christmas stamps, like NONE!! So I just used the Cute and Curly label which I stamped twine, once in River rock and again in Chocolate chip. I used the small oval punch to punch out just the sentiment. I used my MS branch punch and punched out in the River Rock and Chocolate Chip and attached behind the sentiment. I found this Hampton Arts Peace dove so I stamped him in Stazon Black and colored him in with a blender pen and River Rock ink pad. To finish this off, I tied a River Rock ribbon, tied it in a knot and attached with a pop dot.
Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment if you wish!!

Technique Lover's Challenge

Hi everyone!!

What a sad day for me today. I had to attend one of my best friend's mom's funeral this morning. She passed away suddenly this past Wednesday morning at home in her sleep.

So I made this card to send to her to let here know that hope is still possible! I lost my mom about 12 years ago, so I know how hard it is to lose a parent. I hope this card will help her in her journey of this loss.

I used chocolate chip, brocade blue and Basic Grays Offbeat dp to create this card. I punched the medallion from the video from Becca's Blog seen here:http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/circle-frame-tutorial/

I colored in the image with my SU! markers, stamped Linen in chocolate chip on the medallion then I stamped the sentiment into the opening of the curly label. I used the Photo Corner Punch for the accent on the corners and lifted the image ans sentiment up on dimensionals.

Thanks for taking a peek!
