Happy birthday - Do-Al (l) Creative #34

Tuesday October 1, 2019

 

Hello .. It's time for another challenge over at Do-Al (l) Creative #34

 

Our theme for this month is SHAKER CARD

 

Our sponsor is SheepSki designs

 

This is my card.. As you know if you read my posting awhile back.. I am not a fan of Shaker cards.. I love seeing them by not making them.. sadly I have one more to make for the 15th reminder.. then hopefully I am done the rest of the year. LOL..

Todays card I used Quick Quote scraps and Simon Says balloon die and made the balloon shaker window. I stamped Tech. Tuesday sentiment and Stampin up ink. I added micro mini beads. I used an embossing folder on one of the balloons and Club scrap on the green one but the ink was too light so you can hardly see it. I used Ranger ink to distress the edges. I added Lil Inker bows to the balloons and black pen for the strings. For the SheepSki image I used Annabell. I colored her with copics and fussy cut her out. I added her with some foam dots. I'm wondering if I should of used a different color for the bows? I kinda like the black cause the other colors are so light.

Challenges:
Everybody art #454 - dies
Shopping our stash #405 - embossing (balloon behind girl - folder)
Cute card Thursday #601 - sentimental
QKR stampede #365 - anything goes

Always thinking of you - Always Fun Challenge #130

Monday September 30, 2019

 

Welcome back to my blog.

 Today over at Always Fun Challenge #130 we have a new challenge. The theme is ANYTHING GOES

 

 

This is the card I made. I was over at a friends house and we used Stampin up products. I stamped the flowers with SU ink and created a background I then used other papers and added the sentiment. After I got home there was just too much background so I took a Simon Says image the lion and with my Mission gold paints painted him up and added him to the card. It broke up the background without hiding it.

 

Challenges:
Everybody art #454 - dies
Simon Wednesday - anything goes
C.R.A.F.T. #529 - animals
Cute card Thursday #601 - sentimental
Polkadoodles wk. 39 - anything goes

Sunday September 29, 2019

 

It's time for another

Stella Says Sketch over at Catch the bug.

 

                                   This is the sketch to follow..

 

I am using the fun Bug KK Ice Cream.. which was in the Bugaboo News letter for August.. I had to use him.. I found this awesome ice cream designer paper and using Stampin up orange and Simon Says scallop die I got that piece together.. Then I used a My favorite things circle die to cut the image out. I colored the image with copics. I moved it down into the corner so it would fit better. I used SU tiny background red rubber stamp and Quick quote chalk ink and stamped the background. I then added the image and the banner at the top. I used SS sentiment and stamped it on a piece of scrap. I went over the ice cream with Spectrum Noir sparkle pen.

I am using the image Rose vases. I colored the image with copics. I like the fall colors. Muted colors vs. bright summer colors.  They are some of my favorite colors.. I used Lil inker stitch die.

I am using the image called Kaye. I got this image quite some time ago (from another DT I am on and was being sponsored) and it didn't come out very clear. Was quite light and hard to see so I went over the image with a sharpie (I follow a blogger who outlines her images all the time.. so gave it a try) and when I was done I went ahead and colored her with copics. I loved then how the image came out.  I think now that I am on the CS DT I need to request this image again and know I will get a better lined image. I used my cloud template and Ranger ink. I then used My favorite things stitch die. I added to a piece of card stock and this awesome plaid dp. I added Stampin up leaf and SU punch flowers. I added a Pretty Pink Posh jewel to the flower centers. I added the Reverse Confetti sentiment that was cut using Tech. Tues banner die.

can't stop thinking of you - Colour Crazy Challenge #37

Friday September 20, 2019

 

Hello.. It's time for another challenge over at

 Colour Crazy Challenge #37

and I have a card to share.

Since we don't have a sponsor this week.. We could use what ever we wanted so I chose an OLD wooden image from Imagination.. I stamped her on some watercolor paper and since I had my Daniel Smith watercolors still on my desk from Mondays card.. I used them again.. I am liking the way they come out.. I have Mission and Altenew and Kuretake wc.. but you know either I am getting use to wc painting or these are easier to use.. hum.. Sucks being on a limited income.. or is it best I am.. LOL. Any how I painted the image and background and a strip for the sentiment. I then used Spellbinder dies to cut both out. I dug through my scraps and found the yellow and teal so I ran the yellow through an embossing folder and then added the image and sentiment to the card base. I added some sequins. I really love using old wooden stamps and glad the first try on watercolor paper came out with a solid image.

Hello.. I have a card to share.. I was the winner over at

SheepSki Facebook challenge in August. So I got to chose and image and if I wanted to be a Facebook Guest Designer for today I could chose another image. The challenge is Anything goes / Opt. fur... So I chose bad hair day image.

 

I colored the image with copics. I then used Ranger ink and went lightly around the white area with blue. I used Spectrum Noir sparkle brush on the blue part of the hair blower. I chose some Simple story designer papers to create the background. I have this Judith "I'm having a bad hair day" stamp so stamped it and used Stampin up die to cut it out and adhered behind the image. I added this to the card base. It was missing something on the left side so I tied some twine around it and added an acrylic dot to the bow center.  SheepSki has some awesome images. If you want to take a chance to win enter in the facebook challenge..
