Anniversary

 

I used the sketch from JUGS to make this anniversary card.

 

I had received this cute Precious Moments image years ago through Wish RAK at Splitcoaststampers.

Colored the image with Inktense Water Color Pencils and water brush.  Stamped the little Love sentiment with Memento Nautical Blue ink, punched it out and layered on a red circle punch and onto a blue Tim Holtz Tiny Tags and Tabs circle tag.  Added the fun little arrow that I have been dying to use.  Added 3 little red heart gems.  Cardstock used:  Coredinatons card base, Gina K Denim Blue, Neenah Solar White and AC Moore Cherry Red.  Dp is My Minds Eye.

 

Thanks for taking a look!

 

Paper Pieced Ducks

The challenge at Lawnscaping this week is paper piecing

 I also dug through my stash and pulled out some neglected eyelets for the Use What You Have Challenge #10 at The Sweet Stamp Shop

 

 

Here is my stash of eyelets, brads and rhinestones

 

 

 And for CAS-ual Fridays 

 

 

 

The ducks were stamped first of the chevron dp then onto various dp, cut out and pieced over the chevron stamped ducks.  Colored their bills and wings with Touch Twin Markers.  Used my CropODile to punch the holes an set the eyelets.  Stamped the sentiment with Memento Teal Zeal onto yellow grid dp.  Stamps used:  Gina K Oh Baby!.  Chevron and grid dp by Mel Stampz.  Cardstock used:  Gina K Pure Luxury White, Blue Raspberry and Wild Dandelion.

Mixed Media Masculine Birthday

It's been quite a while since I have posted, but this summer has been very busy.
I used the challenge at Just Us Girls to use mixed media on your card.

 

This is also for the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge to use any embossed work

 



I dug through my stash and found all of these goodies.

The background is adhesive backed foil embossed then painted with black acrylic paint and sanded.  Added some Magic Mesh and a couple of die cut gears that were painted with Tim Holtz crackle paint.  Stamped the sentiment on some paper thin cork and layered it onto a Gina K Denim die cut banner.  Added 3 eyelets and tied some twine through them.  Layered the foil background onto some black cardstock and then onto a Gina K Denim card base.

Thanks for taking a look!

Wedding Love

The challenge is Wedding at Eureka Stamps Challenge and I needed a wedding card, perfect timing.

 

I used the couple's wedding invitation as inspiration.  Stamped the Technique Tuesday flourishes with Memento Nautical Blue onto some textured mint green cardstock and layered all he pieces with Gina K In The Navy cardstock.  Sentiment by Gina K.  The heart was punched out of their invitation.  Pretty quick and easy.

Graduation 2013



Needed a graduation card for my niece and used 2 challenges for inspiration in the making of it.
Used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch!
And the theme "Congratulations" from CAS-ual Fridays

 

 

And it also is a fit for the challenge at Sweet Stamp Shop 

 



 

 

 



This was really hard to get a decent photo of due to the gold foil 2013 stickers, which have been in my stash for many years and had not been used.  Painted a wooden star with yellow acrylic paint then stamped the fireworks image with Memento Nautical Blue, then went over it with a blue metallic gel pen for a little more shine.  Added strips of washi tape to white cardstock and die cut with a pennant die.  Cardstock used:  Gina K Wild Dandelion and Denim, Neenah Solar White.

 

Thanks for visiting!

 

Fun Colors & Washi Tape

I used the fun color challenge from The Play Date Café 

and the Make a Scene challenge at Washi Up Challenge

 

Stamps are by Gina K.  Stamped the flower and colored with Inktense watercolor pencils.  Punched a leafy branch and trimmed off some of the leaves to make a stem for the flower.  Covered some white cs with green chevron washi tape for the grass and adhered to the blue circle.  Also used some yellow and white washi tape for the flower center.  More washi tape along the left side with some baker's twine.  Added the sentiment which was punched out with the word window punch and attached a brad.

Cardstock used:  Gina K Pure Luxury white, Wild Dandelion, Denim and Jelly Bean.

Tombow Color Challenge

Beautiful color combo for the challenge at Tombow with a twist to use Tombow Foam Tabs or Power Tabs

 

 

Image from Gina K - Oh Boy! and colored with markers.  Used a scalloped edge punch to make the waves and highlighted the edge by sponging some white ink.  Adhered the image and waves circle to the dark brown circle.  Die cut a blue circle, added some white gel pen dots and popped up with Tombow Foam Tabs.  Finished off by adding a couple of strips of washi tape.
