Make a wish - Inspiration Destination #88

Inspiration Destination #88 - ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES

 

Our sponsor for this card is Polkadoodles

 

This is my card using the image called Dandelion Day.. I was trying something new with the background by using the curve die. I wanted to stamp the sentiment inside the negative space but what I wanted to stamp was too big. So I ended up using some Tim Coffey letter stickers.. Make a wish because she has dandelions and sure she is about to blow the seeds and make a wish. I also thought it would be good for a birthday card.  She is so cute and think this might go to my 12 year old granddaughter..

I hope you head over to Inspiration Destination and enter your ATG cards..

This is the darling NEW RELEASE image called Kid balloons.. I chose to give her an Asian look. I have this coin I got from Monika Reeck (who lives in Germany) her blog is Creative with Monika - thank you Monika.
I used some scraps of designer papers that were laying around and gave me the Asian color and feel. I back them with black stampin up card stock. I colored her with copics. I hope you head over to Bugaboo and see the cute images in the store. And head to Catch the bug to see the DT creations with this image.

thank you so very much - Catch the bug photo challenge

Saturday May 28, 2016

 

Welcome to Saturday challenge at Catch the bug

 

Use this photo as the inspiration for your project

 

This is my card using the photo inspiration.. using the Bugaboo image spring bird  I really did not know what to do so I printed off the bird image.. I then dug out my Tech. Tuesday stamps set and stamped the flowers /leaves below the bird.. I colored them really loosely and I did not like it so I put it aside for a day.. Still didn't like it but thought ok lets color the bird and see what happens.. Well I did and ended up liking it. It tied it together once the bird was colored. I lightly colored the background so it wasn't the harsh white and that helped tone it down. 

I hope you take time to make your card and enter it at the Catch the bug Saturday challenge.

Thursday May 26 - June 7, 2016

Aud Sentiments #156  Today we are our own sponsor.. The theme is ANYTHING GOES / + SENTIMENT

I love it when we sponsor ourselves.. On these days I will be using my rubber/acrylic stamps.. I just used this stamp for another challenge last week and because I love it and the sentiment I wanted to use I used it again..  and I decided to make a Journal inspiration page for my 2016 journal..  I used some watercolor paper and black embossed the face then I took three different color of ranger inks and smooched them on my craft sheet and spritzed with water and laid my paper in the mess.. dried it and did it again - dried it and did again till I got the effect I wanted. I then stamped the sentiment in black. I layered it on some black - pink and then laminated the whole piece and punched holes.  I hope you enjoy and I hope you find time to play along at Aud Sentiments.. you have two weeks to enter our challenges..

What is meant to be - Inspiration Destination # 87

Wednesday May 25, 2016

 

Welcome to another challenge at Inspiration Destination #87

It's always ANYTHING GOES

 

Bugaboo stamps / image Meant to be

 

I chose to use the image called Meant to be.. I like this sentiment.. I think it would make for a great journal page.. hum.. I just might have to do that sometime.. I really wanted the flowers and sentiment to stand out so I used some soft stampin up designer papers and just colored the image.. I thought of coloring outside of the box image but then realized it would of meant doing the whole place outside not just beyond the swirl.. which I think would of taken away from the cute image and sentiment.

I hope you play along at Inspiration Destination .. it's always ANYTHING GOES..

A new chapter - Bugaboo - Catch the bug - new release

Tuesday May 24, 2016

 

It's Tuesday and new release day at Bugaboo  /  Catch the bug

 

This is the image for our new release - Book sitter 2 -  I sat him on a stack of book which is also a Bugaboo image. I used a couple sentiments from Tech. Tuesday and after stamping the sentiments I cut them apart to fit where I wanted them on the card front. For his levis I took an old pair of levis and cut out a 3X3 piece of cloth and used the Copic 0 and put some on the levi scrap and laid it on the pant leg of the boy. I colored the legs only first before I did this. You have to color first then do this technique to the area you want with the effect.. Then you can finish coloring all the other part of the image. I added glossy accents to his glasses to give a glass shine.   I hope you head over to the Bugaboo store and see the images Jodie has drawn. Also head over to the Catch the bug site and see what the DT did with this cute image.

I do like the other colors I added and I used a mixture of colors for her dress so it's not all one color. Fabrika has some awesome images and I always like working with their images.. I did not know what sentiment to use so just chose a very simple For a friend..
