Birthdays

 

The movie theme challenge at Drunken Stampers is 16 Candles

and the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch

 

And The Washi Tape Challenge at Moxie Fab plus the sketch at Retro Sketches

 



Stamped the candles ($ stamp from Michael's) twice, giving me 16 candles and colored with Touch Twin markers.  Added 2 strips of green striped washi tape, tied some orange baker's twine and added the Sizzix file tab stamped with Gina K's Calendar Bits and Pieces.  Layered onto the navy polka dot background, a Darice embossing folder colored in with white gel pen then onto a piece of Gina K's Jelly Bean and a white card base.  This also fits the negative die space challenges at JUGS and Moxie Fab.

Next is using the negative die space for challenges at JUGS and Moxie Fab and for the Muse inspiration challenge #8

 

I am loving this fun sentiment stamp I picked up at my LSS by Rubber Stampede.  Stamped the sentiment with Versafine Black on the pink striped dp and layered behind the dark pink negative scalloped circle die cut with pop dots.  Added a couple strips of black and white washi tape and tied some pink baker's twine.  Popped up on the black card base.

This would also fit the Moxie Fab Washi Tape Challenge.

 

Both of these also fit for the CAS on Sunday birthday challenge.

 

Thanks for taking a look!

Moxie Fab Cameras

There is a fun challenge at Moxie Fab - The Camera Craze Challenge.

This also fits for the Chevron Challenge at Moxie Fab.  The camera was stamped twice and colored with Touch Twin markers.  The lens is popped up and the view finder and bottom part are adhered directly to the main camera to give some dimention.  Added some clear glaze pen to the lens and the view finder.  The camera and photo are from the Gina K set - Spoon Me.  Added some strips of washi tape or some fun and added the sunburst behind the camera for a flash effect.  The flash needed a little something, so added some Sakura Stardust gel pen in yellow for some sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by!

More CPS and a New Place

A couple of cards for the final challenge at CPS.

Sketch #38

 

 

Stamped the little mummy and colored with Prismacolor markers in Brick White and Putty.  The chevron pattern is from Gina K's Pretty Patterns stamped in Memento Grape Jelly.  Added the sticker letters for the challenge at Moxie Fab to use sticker letters.

 

Sketch #40



 

 

This also fits the challenge at Moxie Fab to use journaling tags.  I trimmed the tag and stamped the Merry Christmas and the snowflakes on it from Gina K's set Tag You're It!.  Embossed a piece of red Core'dinations and lightly sanded it and die cut the little snowflakes from glitter cardstock.  Layered all onto Pool Party cs.

 

I just discovered a new sketch blog CAS(E) This Sketch!

Sketch #3

 



 

This was really hard to get a good photo of, the dp I used just wouldn't cooperate.  The sentiment and the image are from Gina K's set Heartfelt.  Dp is from DCWV Tropical Stack.  Layered onto a Kraft base.  I think I am going to like this site!

 

Thanks for coming over!

 

Black, White and a Splash of Lime

Here is the color challenge for this week at The Play Date Cafe:  http://theplaydatecafe.blogspot.com/2012/08/make-splash-at-play-date-cafe-pdcc146.html

 

 

I used some Black Magic Core'dinations cardstock with a lime core and scored it on opposite corners then lightly sanded the score lines and all around the edges.  Used some black and white chevron paper and scored the lines vertically.  Stamped the sentiment and circle from Gina K's Tag You're It! set with Memories black ink.  Spellbinders dies were used to cut out the sentiment and layer and the small flag.  Layered onto lime green and onto a white card base.

 

I think this also fits for the Moxie Fab Asymmetry Challenge: http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/08/card-design-handbook-week-asymmetry.html

 

Thanks for taking a look!
