May 29, 2019 Sketch Challenge

This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is sketch challenge and here is our sketch:

I really enjoyed the sketch this week - and I did flip it to be a horizontal card.
I am a dog lover - and just so happens that my new chemo buddy loves dogs as well so I thought this might bring a smile.  Anyone who has had a "puppy" knows they like to be mischievous and this guy is certainly getting his chew in.  I used 4201-K Playtime Puppy  colored with copic markers and then I went in with a "hard" lead pencil and added some fur detail.  You can see this if you zoom in.  Used some doggie print dp and some strips that matched to make the sketch.  In the corners I used a die cut of puppies and put one in each corner.  I die cut FUN as I know this pup is surely having fun.

Next week we will have a "new" Rock Star rejoining us on our team - so looking forward to sharing her creations with us.  So keep an eye open for her.

May 22, 2019 Anything Goes

This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is Anything Goes - so that leaves it wide one to not only the Rock Stars but for those of you who enter the challenge. 

Sometimes I go through my "past" creations that I keep in a basket  - and I found this idea.  Remember when distressing the edge was so popular - I used a pair of scissors to distress the edge (if you zoom in you can see the distressing) but they also have edge distress tools.  I used
10301-H Patti's Flower Solid  and stamped it in a hot pink ink - it stamped so beautifully.  I then fussy cut three flowers and place then on my top distressed designer paper.  For my sentiment I used 1105-E Thinking of You as Iam always needing just general Thinking of you or just because type cards.  I die cut the sentiment out using an oval die and then used two small hearts bling on each side.

May 18, 2018 Kindergarten Graduation

I can't believe that my oldest great grand daughter will graduate from kindergarten in just  a few days. 
This little girl is from Pixie Dust Studio (digi) and I colored her in the school colors, royal blue and silver.  Will put a little bit of green ($$) on the inside for her. 

May 15, 2019 Inspiration Challenge

This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is Inspiration Challenge - the photo is to inspire us either with the photo or the colors.  I went mostly with the colors.  I was in need of one more Mothers Day Card (for daughter) and I used sentiment 1137-E Mothers Day   jar  9701-J jar w/lid and the butterfly is 9001-LButterfly lg. and 107-F Monarch Butterfly    I stamped the jar and cut the center out with an exacto knife as I wanted to make a shaker card (which I don't do very often.  But I was pleased with the end result this time.  I stamped and colored the two butterflies in the jar, fancy cut them andgluedthem inside the jar then some green and yellow sequins, and on the outside the Monarch butterfly and my sentiment.  I mailed this card last week to daughter and she loved it.

May 8, 2019 Tic Tac Toe

This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is Tic-Tac-Toe which is one of my favorite challenge.  I choose to go with the right vertical using gems, stitching, and die cuts.  For my image I used 912-K Tulip Bouquet  

and for my sentiment I used a vertical sentiment 6104-J Birthday Vertical.  I used two die cuts for this card - the focal image is on a die cut and the frame I made using two stitched frames, I water colored the focal image and the background - I used several gems on my card just to add some sparkle, a couple of little butterflies in the corners.  I always have a need for Birthday Cards so this will go in my birthday box.

May 1, 2019 DCC - One Layer

This is May 1, where is the year going - the designer choice was mine this month over at The House that Stamps Built and I choose to do a one layer card.  I usually tend to make 2-3 layers on my cards and in all reality you can make a beautiful card with just one layer.  

For my card I chose 9012-M Dandelion Breeze and 3101J Dream,Inspire, Hope   for my sentiment.  

I used distress oxide inks to make my background, adding some clouds in the sky, and then embossed my images in black embossing powder.
