Pretty In Pink, Fight Like A Girl

Hello again!

Today's card is for the Challenge at Curtain Call, Pretty And Pink!  I was walking with a girlfriend yesterday and she said she had a client who was diagnosed with breast cancer, I offered to make her a card and this is what I came up with.

This is such a powerful stamp set from Flourishes, Think Pink.....yet one I hope I never really use!  Spellbinders Classic and Scalloped Oval dies, images colored with Copic Markers as well as the adhesive pearls, and just a touch of ribbon.



Be well my friends!

Under The Sea

Good Monday Morning! 

What a great weekend.  Nice weather, sunshine, gardening, crafting.....just super!  Hope you all enjoyed yours as well!

Today's card is for the Mod Squad Blog, One Layer Wonder.....talk about a Challenge! 

 

I used images from the Stampin' Up! set, By The Tide and the sentiment is from Masculine Tags by Gina K Designs.   Again making a frame stencil and sponging with blue and green inks, then stamping images and sentiment on top.  After covering the focal point with card stock, I broke out my trusty old toothbrush, dipped it in some blue and green craft paints and then flicked the paint all over creating the specks.  I kind of love that technique AND it almost masked a big green ink smudge.....lower left corner.  ;)  I then added Stickles for the fish scales and some all over the specks of paint.  Still not crazy about a ONE layer or a NO layer, which I think this really is, but I will keep on trying.

 

Thanks so much for stopping in.

 

If you see Sharyn Polesel around, wish her the happiest of birthdays!  ;)

 

Enjoy~~

Pretty Pink Party

Hello Again! 

I've been having a lot of fun, coloring, gardening, crafting in general, and cooking....what an awesome weekend!  I guess tomorrow may be chore day.....booooooo!

Here's today's little creation:

I used the Sketch from MFT:

 

I used the Flourishes stamp set, Lots Of Thoughts, the Happy Birthday sentiment is from Gina K Designs, Birthday Duo set.  Images colored with Copic Markers.  I used Die-Namics Blueprints 12 dies from My Favorite Things.  Added a bit of lace and some Adhesive Pink Pearls.  I love the feminine look of this birthday card, so pink, so frilly!

Poppy Sketch #3

Good Morning!  After this post I hope to head out into the gardens all day long, wouldn't that be blissful?  Absolutely!!!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenges at Poppy Sketch #3 and Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes.

Here's the Sketch.....with a POP of color!







 

I used the Simon Says stamp set and dies, Summer Garden.  I was lucky enough to win a $50 voucher a couple of weeks ago from Simon Says and this was one of the items ordered.  So cute, especially this time of year!  :)  The Designer Paper is from Gina K Designs, Wisteria Lane (I always think of Desperate Housewives lol)  The sentiment is stamped in Elegant Eggplant.  Images colored with Copic Markers.   

 

Another card that may not need extra postage.....cha ching!

Lighting The Way

Good Afternoon!

Not a whole lot going on around here.  We've had quite a bit of rain lately even this morning, but now the sun is out and the day looks bright!  Hopefully it will be a gardening kind of weekend!  :)

Here's today's little creation:

One of those NO layer cards which freaks me out!  I love my layers, the more the better!  I used a Hero Arts stamp set, Decorative Lamps.  I made a small frame (stencil) out of some thick card stock and sponged More Mustard ink all over the opening on the base card stock.  Once dried I stamped the 3 different lamps on top.  I covered the stamped images and then using an old toothbrush dipped in yellow craft paint I flicked specks all over the front of the card.  Colored some adhesive pearls with a Copic Marker and decorated the lamps.  Simple.....thin.....done.  :)

This card will be entered into the following Challenges:

At least when mailing this card I won't need extra postage!  lol

Paper Scraps

Hello Friends!

Today's card is a mini note card which will be entered into the Challenges at Papertrey Ink, Paper Scrap Pie Charts and Simon Says Monday, Mellow Yellow.

 

A fun little technique, reminiscent of Iris Paper Folding or Quilting.  I used the Lovely Layers die and sentiment from Tags-it #2, both from Papertrey Ink.  Several yellow pattern Designer Papers and a red rhinestone center.   This mini note card measures 3.25" x 3.25" a perfect little gift card.

 

Fun technique, give it a try!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Enjoy~~

 



Love The Life You Create

Powerful words.....Love The Life You Create.....or.....Create The Life You Love.....I think I could stop my post here and just let you all talk amongst yourselves!  Ha!  But I won't.

I saw a card made by Dina Kowal with this fabulous stamp set from Taylored Expressions,  A Life She Loved.  When I saw it I KNEW I had to own it.  Ordered it on a Thursday and it was in my mailbox on Saturday.....AND by Saturday afternoon it had ink on it!  Life is good (knock on wood!)

So today's card is just one made for the sheer JOY of making a card with a fabulous stamp set!

Just one of those sets that makes your heart beat a little bit faster.  The Designer Paper is by Authentique, Gathering Collection.  Image colored with Copic Markers.  A little ribbon, 2 ribbon tabs, and adhesive rhinestones added as accents.  I LOVE this!!!  I hope you do too.

Here's a look at the complete set:
