I love pink and green color combination!  The ladybugs in the stamp set helped me choose the background for my card!  I used designer paper from a DCWV paper pack.  Green gingham ribbon and a sheer flower used to embellish along with a small clip at the top of the stamped panel which I punched to resemble paper torn from a spiral notepad.

MFP Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge - Mask and Sponge Stripes

 

This week's challenge at Speedy Fox & Friends is to mask and sponge stripes.

 

For my card, I first masked the sides of the die cut panel and then layered a striped stencil diagonally and sponged using Hero Arts Ombre ink to create the stripes.  Removed the masks and then stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Animal Birthdays stamp set.  Layered the striped panel onto red cardstock and then onto a white card stock card base.  Embellished using red gems.  The die cut panel was created using a Lil' Inker stitched rectangle die.

 

We hope you'll share your masked and sponged stripes card with us this week.  You can find the challenge HERE.

The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge - It's Wedding Time of Year!

 

June is the traditional month for a wedding and that's the theme that Darlene chose for The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge, It's Wedding Time of Year!

 

I love the look of white on white cards, especially for a wedding.  Oh, I know a "white wedding" is no longer a trend and wedding planners suggest using hints of color!  For my white on white card, I used several different dies and layered them for texture and depth; the sentiment is from Stampin' Up Teeny Tiny Wishes.

 

We hope you'll share your wedding cards/projects with us.  You can find The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge HERE.

 

I'm entering my card at

 

Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

 

Die Cut Divas - Wedding or Anniversary

 

Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes

Ruby's Rainbow Challenge - At The Seashore

 

The Ruby's Rainbow Challenge was chosen by Shaz... At The Seashore.

 

For my card, I used watercolor paper and did a soft watercolor wash using an acrylic block and dye ink markers by scribbling on the block and then spritzing it with water and then stamping the color onto the paper; used a watercolor brush to help even out the color.  I then stamped the Sailboat Bay stamp by Stampendous and did a little bit of coloring using Copic markers.  The bird and sentiment are from the Oceanside Oval Medallion Labels stamp set from JustRite Stampers.

 

We hope you'll share your At The Seashore cards and/or projects with us at Ruby's Rainbow.  You can find the challenge HERE.

OLCCC 12 Halfway Reminder - Optional Twist Green

 

There is still time to enter your one layer Christmas cards in the OLCCC.  The OLCCC is always anything one layer Christmas goes with the option to use the twist!

 

For my card I used the Stampin' Up Peaceful Wishes stamp set.  I masked a portion of the card base and stamped the images and then removed the mask and used a T-ruler and black Copic marker to draw the lines to give a layered appearance.  I then stamped the sentiment between the lines.

 

You can find the OLCC Challenge HERE.

 

 

 

CWWC Challenge #97 - Use Your Favorite Color Combination

 

Pink is my all-time favorite color so combining with any other color would be my favorite combination!

 

Art By Miran is the challenge sponsor and I used All of My Heart digi stamp for my card.  Papers are from my stash, the loopy flower was a gift from a secret sister a long time ago!  I embellished the flower using a Flair from Studio G.  I colored the image using Copic markers.

 

When you share your favorite color combination project over at the CWWC Challenge Blog, you'll be entered to win something from ArtByMiran.

MFP Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge - White on Kraft

 

This week's challenge at MFP Speedy Fox & Friends is to heat emboss using white embossing powder on an image you stamp onto kraft cardstock.  For my card, I used the Medallion stamp set and embellished the center of the white heat embossed image with a button that I placed the embossed sentiment banner under.  I used black twine and a multi-looped bow to embellish the side of the card.  I sponged white ink on the edges of the card and the sentiment banner.

 

We hope you'll share your white heat embossed on kraft cardstock cards with us this week.  You can find the challenge HERE.

One Layer Christmas Card Challenge - Optional Twist is Green!

 

 

It's time for the OLCCC #12!  The One Layer Christmas Card Challenges are always anything Christmas CAS goes as long as it is one layer, card base only, no other layers used on your card.  One layer CAS cards are so much easier  and less costly to mail to friends and family!  The OLCCC optional twist this round is to use the color green.  When you share your OLCC using green you will be entered twice for the prize giveaway.

 

For my card I used Wild Wabasi ink and the Hero Arts Leafy Flourish background stamp.  I love the elegant look of this stamp.  It is a non-traditional image for a Christmas card, but it does seem to give a holiday affect, especially when stamped in green!  The sentiment is from a MFP Stamp Shop stamp set.  I used a corner rounder on the bottom of the card and sponged the edges using gold metallic ink.

 

We hope you'll share your one layer, CAS Christmas cards with us.  You can find the challenge HERE.

Sparkles Monthly Challenge - Vintage / Shabby Chic

 

This month's challenge at Sparkles Monthly Challenge was chosen by me to create a vintage / shabby chic card or project.

 

I used lots of texture for my card, flowers, lace, border punch, pearl flourish, and distressed edges of all the layers and used vintage photo distress ink.  The image is from a vintage freebie site found HERE.  To access the vintage freebies all you need to do is register on the freebies link.

 

We have two sponsors for this challenge Crafty Individuals and Di's Digi Downloads.

 

A paper pad and 2 sheets of images

and

$10 voucher

 

We hope you'll play along with this month's challenge.  You can find the challenge HERE.

City Crafter Challenge 265 - Tic TAG Toe! & The Mod Squad Challenge - I Am Tagging You!

 

I recently found a fun challenge blog called City Crafter Challenge Blog.  The current challenge is to create a tag.  And, I've been pointed in the direction of the Mod Squad Challenge Blog to also create a tag!

 

For my card, I used a Michaels Recollections laser cut tag.  I stamped the image and sentiment are from the MFP Stamp Shop Tree Selections stamp set and colored the image using Copic markers.  The background panel is from the DCWV Far East cardstock pack mounted onto white cardstock base.  I used twine to created a multilooped bow and added a rose from a Michaels Recollections floral pack.  The tag was mounted onto the card using dimensionals.

Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

 

A very easy and simple circle card for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

 

I used Spellbinders scallop and circle dies to create the card base and patterned paper layer.  The sentiments are from MFP Stamp Shop Java Time stamp set.  The cup was cut from the TH Fresh Brewed Bigz die.  Cardstock and paper from my stash.  Embellished using Stampin' Up gems.  Distress inks used to sponge and stamp.  Paper crimper used for the center cup holder.  Easy peasy!

 

The blog hop can be found HERE.

The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge - Goin' Buggy!

 

DT member Terri chose the Goin' Buggy theme.  So many possibilities for this fun theme!

 

For my card I used designer papers from CTMH and the image is the Bee from the Seasons and Nature collection, also from CTMH.  I also used the honeycomb die from Stampin' Up and Spellbinders Octagon dies for the image.  I used black twine to create a multi-looped bow and attached a bee button in the center, yellow ric-rac used to border the designer paper.

 

We hope you'll share your "goin' buggy" projects with us at The Sisterhood of Crafters.  You'll find the challenge HERE.

For my card, I used a red, white, and blue color scheme.  The background patterned paper is from Hobby Lobby The Paper Studio.  The image is Changito Play Ball from Stampendous, colored using Copic markers and die cut using a circle die.  Added layered banners and a button that says "go team."

CWWC Challenge - Paper Piecing

 

We are doing some paper piecing on our image for the CWWC Challenge.

 

The challenge sponsor is Oddball Art Co.

 

For my card, I used the Patty Cake image from Oddball Art Co. and designer paper from my stash to paper piece the headband and the dress.  The image was colored using Copic markers.  The background paper is from a retired digital paper pack.  I gave the paper a little depth by stamping some water droplets using a stamp from designs by ryn.

 

We hope you'll share your paper piecing projects with us at the CWWC Challenge.  You'll find the challenge HERE.

MFP Stamp Shop Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge - Nested Die Cuts

Altered Eclectics June Challenge

 Found some old books at Antique Store and decided to Alter them.

 

 

 

This is the result!

 

Here's a view of the stamped cover

 

 

My inspiration for the altered books came from the current issue of Green Craft Magazine.

 

I removed the book covers and spines.  The spine on old books shows the stitching that holds the book together.  I adhered some lace to each spine and then created a stamped cover and applied to the top of each book; stacked the books, tied tulle around the stack to hold it together and embellished using a floral spray and a few loose flowers and some leaves from the floral spray.  This sits on my living room coffee table next to my altered bottle.

 

The Altered Eclectics challenges are always anything goes as long as it's altered art, mixed media, repurposed, upcycled, recycled art; no ATCs, no cards.

 

We hope you will share your altered projects with us this month.  You can find the Altered Eclectics Challenge HERE.
