Di's Digi Designs - It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas Challenge

 


The current Di's Digi Designs Challenge is It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas.  I'm joining the fun today with one of Di's adorable digital images called Winter Carols.

The image was colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut and adhered to the background with dimension tape.  I created a galaxy background for another card recently and had this piece left.  I love the effect!

I created the snowy scene with Stitched Cloudline and Country Landscape die cuts from Memory Box.  Wink of Stella was applied to the edges for sparkle. 
 
The card was finished with silver stars and a sentiment from Stampin' Up!

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge #298 Anything "Mo" Goes

 



I'm sharing an Anniversary card with the current Mo's Digital Challenge featuring one of my favorite Mo Manning images - Tom and Tilly.

The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil.  I fussy cut the image and layered it with dimension foam onto a galaxy background.   I experimented with the "grass" by layering various sizes of die cut circles.  It's difficult to see, but I like the effect and will try it again!

Sugar Pea Mix It Up Challenge #74

 

I'm joining the current SugarPea Designs Challenge using the sketch as inspiration.  My card features the Pretty Peonies set.

I used a stippling color effect for the peony image using distress inks.  The dangling hearts die from Sugar Pea and heart emboss from Cuttlebug finish the card.  The Anniversary sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps.

Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge #17 and Sketch Saturday

 



I'm sharing a Thank you card with the current Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge.  My card features a couple of Hero Arts wood mounted stamps bought locally - K1633 Mum Flower and C3016 Written Thank You.

The mum was embossed with white powder.  I'm also joining the current Sketch Saturday challenge which is great for all of the scraps that I have in my stash.  The papers for this design is from Pebbles Garden Party Paper Pad.

I finished the card with machine stitching along the designer paper edge and enamel dots.

My Favorite Things Color and Sketch Challenges

 



I'm joining the current sketch and color challenges with a fun birthday shaker card.  My card features the retired Happy Bday Centerpiece die.  I have never been very successful with shaker cards, but thought this die would be perfect.  The finished card is 5x7 which is larger than I normally create, but it really ended up nice!

I incorporated the current colors with the sequins and sentiment strip from BB Greetings Galore set.

Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge #17 Thank You Cards

 



I'm sharing a fun coffee Thank You card with the current Hero Arts Challenge.  I pulled out one of my favorite Hero Arts Monthly Kits from August 2018.  

The coffee cups were stamped onto water color paper, colored with Tombow markers and blended then die cut.  The MMH Kit included a clear laquer pen and puffing emboss powder which I used on the coffee foam.


The stencil background was created with Hero Arts Creamsicle and Lemon Drop inks.  A small strip of dp from my stash and a Hero Arts sentiment (C3016 Written Thank You) finish the card.

My Favorite Things Color and Sketch Challenges

 




Good morning!  I'm sharing a fun card for the current sketch and color challenges at My Favorite Things.

I pulled out  the Better Together Card Kit from a couple of months ago.  I LOVE this sweet kit!  The papers, critters and Carpool die are all so fun.

I also managed to use the color combo from the current challenge with my lime green and teal car!  It makes me smile!

The critters from the Better Together set were stamped onto water color paper, colored and blended with Tombow markers then die cut. The base panel paper is from the Road Trippin' paper pad included with the kit.

Di's Digi Design Challenge - Emboss It

 


I'm joining the current embossing challenge at Di's Digi Challenge Blog.  I colored the adorable Sweet Moments digital image with Copic Markers.  It's very subtle, but the base panel was dry embossed with a heart folder.  The Anniversary sentiment was wet embossed in white.


 The image was layered onto designer papers from Pebbles Inc Garden Party paper pad.  A button and ladybug were added from my stash to finish the card.
