Inspiration Destination #27 - ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES / What a beautiful day

Wednesday April 1, 2015

 

Welcome to another challenge at Inspiration Destination #27

ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES

 

 

Our sponsor this week is A day for daisies

 

I always take so long trying to find an image to use BECAUSE I LOVE THEM ALL. I want them all, but I chose to use Bird dreams  ..  I tried to paint this little girl with my Kuretake but it just did not look right so tossed it away and went back to the copics.  I also used my cloud template that I made out of x-ray film and just free handed a line of cloud to make my design. I have used it for years and love it.
I wanted to bring one of the flowers that is in the designer paper by stampin up - forward so stamped the sentiment on one of them and cut it out. I added some twine and called it done.

I hope you make it over to Inspiration Destination and join in on the challenge fun. remember it's always anything goes.

Catch the bug New Release / Happy your're my friend

Tuesday March 31, 2015

 

Catch the bug New Release day and we have Spring Duck..

 

I just had to make a new background. I used a piece of watercolor paper. Clear embossed a large stampin up Large Circles stamp and heated. Then I wet the card and used my H2O paints and added the paint till I got the effect I wanted. I am loving the H2O's because of the shine it gives. I am happy with the results. Then I let it dry and went to color my image. I had to cut around the image because I wanted to show as much as possible the watercolor. I stamped the sentiment and added a few sequins to give interest.  I hope you enjoyed this card. Also check out the new images in the bugaboo store and awesome drop dead deals going on.. wow if you ever wanted some cheap awesome images now is the time.. head over to the Bugaboo store.

Week 5 of Monika and Billie background and or no designer paper - USE DOTS AND A SENTIMENT

Monday March 30, 2015

 

Week 5 is Monika's choice she chose DOTS AND SENTIMENT

 

It's like Monika's reading my mind or I am reading hers. When she said DOTS I thought of my Reverse Confetti sentiment and knew I wanted to use a lot of different color's of ink to reflect the sentiment. I took down a lot of my ranger inks and my Simon says lots of circles and chose a small and smaller dot and just stamped away. I do like it. Quite colorful and with the sentiment it says a lot.

 

I hope you head over to Monika's blog Creative with Monika and see her card.

I see now - that I am ready to post my card that the bears arm is really the girls.. oh well it's made and I am taking it that the bear has his hand over her arm and he's got a double chin which would be the other part of the girls arm.. lol - would you of even noticed if I didn't mention it?? I also fussy cut the frame out and it's layered on the dark blue square.

Thursday March 26 - April 7m 2015

 

Aud Sentiment #128 ANYTHING GOES PLUS A SENTIMENT

 

 Our sponsor is Lacy Sunshine

 
Our sponsor is Lacy Sunshine and I chose to use the image Eleanor Hula Hoop  I use to play with my hula hoop all the time when I was a LOT younger.. It was fun, mom only said we could use our hoops outside because she was afraid we would break something in the house. So couldn't wait for spring or summer.. it's hard to do it with coats so winter it was not possible. I really wanted this card to be bright and colorful so I colored the image first and then went for the card stock.  I chose Stampin up base and scraps for the other colors.  I used the Lil Inker stitching die and Stampin up punch.  The sentiment is from Stampin up.  I like the happy colors. I hope you play along, its ATG and remember to always add a sentiment.
