Another year

Time for another Paper Pretties challenge! Today’s challenge is anything goes.

I used Party Polly and colored with copics. Did a little cutting out of the box with the image. Added a faux layer to the circle and stamped the sentiment at the the bottom. White gel pen was used for the middles of the flowers.



How to Enter: If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project using the above challenge and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword PWC294.

Don’t forget to include a link to your card on the Paper Pretties Blog, so everyone can see it too. You don’t have to use Paper Pretties stamps to play, but of course if you have them we would love to see you use them. One random participant will receive a Paper Pretties Stamps set … see the Paper Pretties Blog for more details.

The sketch comes from Mojo Monday 239.

Let it Snow

I made a card just because! Haven’t done that in ages. Well… it’s not really just because but a start on my Christmas cards. I had been seeing a sketch floating around on Pinterest and Facebook and loved the cards I was seeing so I had to go check it out. It was Mojo Monday sketch and I’m getting my card in just under the wire! (deadline for it is tonight!)

I colored Mrs.Frosty from Our Craft Lounge with copics. Added some Sparkly Fluff to her hand muff and to the snow under her.  Used one of the snowflakes from White Christmas (also from Our Craft Lounge) in versamark on the blue background. Added a snowflake brad to the sentiment.

One Christmas card down… 20 million to go! (well not 20 million but will feel like it by the time I am done.)

4-H project and a Sympathy card

As promised, here is a picture of Allie (8) wearing her skirt that she made for 4-H. She also made the purse. Her headband matches (hard to tell in the picture) her skirt. Judging is next monday for sewing.

I needed a sympathy card so I used the color challenge and Julee's Mojo Monday sketch to make a quick card. Color challenge was chocolate chip, barely banana and groovy guava. I love this combo!

I used SU's Close As a Memory and Warmest Regards. I left off one of the flower by inking up only half the stamp with the groovy guava pad, using the aquapainter to take the ink off where i did not want it and then going over the stems with the chocolate chip marker. I also used just the flowers on the Barely Banana cardstock by inking up just the flowers with Barely Banana marker. Around the image I distressed with inks by sponging on barely banana first, then groovy guava and then just around the edges I used Choclate Chip.

stamp: SU Close As a Memory, Warmest Regards; paper: chocolate chip, groovy guava, barely banana, white; ink: groovy guava; accs: markers - chocolate chip & barely banana, white gel pen, hodgepodge hardware, polytwill ribbon, sponge, corner round punch (for scallops)
