Make my Monday #238 - Let life surprise you

Monday November 4, 2024

Hello and hope you find inspiration in my cards to create.

We have a new challenge over at

Make my Monday #238

Theme: Wild animals

I looked for wild animals and found this wood block red rubber from Magenta. Thought perfect. They are wild and an animal to some degree.. I stamped and colored with copics. I cut around the frame and added to the scrap of designer paper and then had this other scrap which picked up the colors nicely. I stamped the Tech. Tues. sentiment and added some diamond painting drill to the background design

Hello

We have a new challenge over at 

Make My Monday #154

Our theme is

A SLIM LINE CARD

For my card I used a Magenta red rubber stamp and some inks and tapped the inks on each image. A couple of the inks were pigment so I clear embossed them. I added to a piece of Stampin up card stock then onto a piece of card stock I got out of a magazine a long time ago. I stamped the My Favorite Things sentiment on the SU card stock and heat embossed. I added them and finished with some sequins and Nuvo drops to the centers.

Our theme for this challenge is

CAT OR DOG

Since I haven't used this stamp in like forever... I chose cat's for my theme choice.. This stamp set is an old Magenta stamp. I stamped on water color paper and using Prima wc painted the images. I added to a slimline base and added the Tim Holtz snarky sentiment..  I thought this sentiment went well with the crazy out of control cats. (I am a dog person, we have 3 small rescue dogs.. but I am sure when we are away they are having a great fun time.. kinda like this I am sure)

Welcome back to another challenge at Creations in Pink

I hope you are playing along and enjoying creating cards with lots of pink.. 

 

 

 

 For my card I found this old paper pad. I have no idea who it's by but it sure is pretty. I think it came in a SS monthly kit and they don't have cover pages. I chose the marble background and then chose two other papers and stamped the wood block red rubber Magenta stamp and fussy cut them out and layered. I have a box full of leaves so chose some and added them to the card. The dies are Stampin Up. I had a scrap of paper from the same pad and cut out the My favorite things Thanks and cut couple more times from black and layered them. I added everything to the base and then added some pearls and glossy accents to the dots on the petals.

Wednesday June 27, 2018

 

Hope your day is an Mermazing one...

 It's challenge time again at

Pause Dream Enjoy #26

  theme... MERMAIDS

 

 

A friend came over and I was showing her what can be done with Ranger inks and smooshing and this is the paper I created. Now I can use it for the water mermaid theme card. That worked out perfect. I took a few rubber wood block stamps one from Rubber seed and Magenta and stamped the foliage below. I then stamped some mermaids from My Favorite Things on water color paper and using H2O paints colored them in and the leaves. I used Zig marker for the skin and cheeks. I die cut the images out and added the sentiment from MFT and the images. I completed the scene by adding some clear Nuvo drops so it looked like water bubbles.
