Monday November 18, 2024

Hello again

We have a new challenge over at 

Make my Monday #239

Theme: Food / Drink

I was over at a friends house in Oct. and she is a stamper / card maker too and I brought different papers over and some in and stamped some of her images that I thought I could use some time in the future.. Boy I am glad I did cause these stacked coffee cups is perfect. But I didn't write down who the stamps are from So sorry I don't know who it belongs to but I sure had fun coloring it. I put glossy accents on the dripping coffee and some Spectrum Noir sparkle on some of the cups. I had this sentiment from Stamp Simply that is perfect. I heat embossed it and fussy cut it out

Hello.. did you survive Halloween (we never get trick or treaters - but always buy the candy - LOL) and we have Thanksgiving coming up. I think it's going to be quiet. Family is so spread out it's sad but it is what is is.

We have a new challenge over at 

Cardz 4 Guyz #360

I'm the host so I picked the theme.

Theme: Your 3 favorite colors

My favorite colors are the ones below. Purple, Orange, Green... I usually use for Halloween cards and so it's refreshing that I could use the for this card instead. All Stampin up products. I do love carrots and my favorite is carrot salad which my daughter hated growing up. we still kid about it.. I don't like eggs and she doesn't like the salad.

Theme: Retiform technique

I haven't done this technique in years.. I used masking tape and blocked off a section and added the Ranger ink and Hero arts image then moved the tape and blocked off another section and repeated till the card front was covered. I took Gold Liquitex paint and painted on the edges of the sections.  I see things I could of done different but I think it turned out nice.
