Another Sketch Challenge..

Yes I love all these sketch Challenges and found this one over on Beate's Blog. I liked it and had to try it. Here is my answer to the Challenge...



I actually made it into a Shaker card. And I had to play with one of my Hanna Stamps because it had been a while and I think these are so cute. I also did a little paper piecing on her coat. So many Techniques used on this one card.. and the outcome was so fun...



I of course had to color her in with my copics. And I used my
nestablities dies as well. I love using them in my cuttlebug. Well I am off for now to get some work done around here and will be back latter tonight with one more card I made yesterday... have a great Sunday...

Supplies:
Stamps: Hanna Stamps Rain Day, Stampin Up! Polka Dots and Paisley
Ink: purely pomegranate, basic black craft ink
Cardstock: basic grey, regal rose, creamy caramel, blush blossom, leftover designer paper, acetate
Accessories: nestablities, copics, grey spica glitter pen, Micheals $1 punch, brads

long time no post....

Well I told you the office was a wreck.....




I felt so bad because of the way it looked I just had to try and fix it up a bit....






Looks a little better doesn't it. At least it did until my dad ask me to make birthday cards for my mother... needless to say I think the card is pretty but the office needs love again..



I used a sketch challenge that Lauren Meader or aka Mytime on SCS posted on her blog on Saturday. She is one o my favorite stampers over on SCS and she is also one of SCS dirty dozen design teams... I hope to one day be as good as her.

Supplies: soft sky cardstock, chocolate chip cardstock, whisper white cardstock, and a small piece of designer paper I got from Joan on one of her blog candy give aways. I also used some of the ice circles brads from SU and the new incolor double stitched ribbon in soft sky. The stamp set I used is called polka dots & paisley from stampin up. Ink used was soft sky ink pad, tempting turquoise ink pad, and basic black inkpad along with my always artichoke marker for the stem... Mom's birthday is next week and I hope I can find more time to make her a few more goodies... happy stampin everyone.

Tryin to come up with my...

Trying to come up with my regional swap card but still nothing has warmed to me but here is one I came up with using SCS Sketch Challenge 119.



I used also the color challenge from SCS too. Color challenge #93 to be exact. I used Rose Red, Blush blossom, Sage Shadow, and chocolate chip. I added a prima petites Cranberry flower to my Riveting sentiment. I used both Riveting and Polka Dots & Paisley stamp sets. Well off to try and see if I can get a card like I want for regionals.

CC95....

Color challenge on Splitcoaststampers I have been wanting to try and also threw in a new technique for me as well... a shaker card.



to make the card I used Cool Caribbean cardstock, basic black cardstock, whisper white cardstock and a window sheet. I had found a cute butterfly mini punch in Micheals for a dollar and just new it would be perfect for this type of card. i punched out some butterflies out of each of the colored cardstocks. I used my coluzzle to make the ovals and frame for my central image. The stamp set I used was the gift that Shelly sent from stampin up called Polka dots and Paisley. I stamped my images in cool Caribbean ink and basic black ink. The base for the card is stamped with the dots from this stamp set in cool Caribbean.

I also used the technique for faux stitching with my paper piercer and white gel pen... what a cute card.

Edit.....
Well after looking at it again I thought it need something extra... so I added a strip of whisper white cardstock that had been run through my sizzix with the A2 divine swirls embossing folder for the cuttlebug. then I took my fiskars border punch and punched along the edge. The finial touch was sponging some cool Caribbean ink over the embossing... now I think it is complete.

well while i was playing...

Well while I was playing last night I took out my Stamp set that Shelly sent me for Christmas... It is sorta of a preview of what is coming in the new Spring mini... It is called Polka Dots & Paisley. I really think it has many great uses. I took the Paisley out of the set and made a sheet of background paper.... Let me know what you think...

I again used gamsol magic tutorial from splitcoaststampers to color my images. I even left one unfinished to give the paper the idea of a fade... I am not sure yet what I may use this for yet but maybe something soon....
