time for another challenge over at

Alphabet challenge  I

I for INSECTS

So I made this card for another challenge and then decided I didn't want to use it.. So I waited till this challenge came up.. I am using the Bugaboo stamp Ladybug Floral Collage.. I used Marianne tag die and added a ribbon. I colored the image with copics and used Nuvo drops on the ladybug heads and little orange dots. I used an embossing folder for the piece on the right and brushed Quick Quote chalk ink over the top. I added this to two pieces of QQ scraps. I added the Reverse Confetti - I love you to the image line area.  I added sequins and dots of Nuvo drops.

Wednesday July 28, 2021

Hello

I had this card in mind so while it's was there I decided to make this card. It was so easy. I cut a circle out of some type paper and then using my cloud template and Ranger inks I created the clouds and water. I had this seagull already painted from a few summers ago from My favorite things and done with Mission Gold watercolors. So I added it to the card on foam dots and stamped the MFT sentiment with Quick Quote chalk ink.. I am loving how it came out.

Our theme this challenge is

SHADES OF BLUE

So digging through my stamps I was trying to decide what to create. I saw this Simon Says background stamp and usually I paint inside so thought I would just use 3 shades of blue and ink it up. I stamped and I didn't really quite see the three shades ... but it was blue so stuck with it. I used scraps from Quick quote and My favorite things smile die and stacked three layers and added to the card along with heat embossed sentiment. I finished with some blue sequins and Nuvo drops in the center..

Always Fun Challenge #224

Our theme is 

ANYTHING GOES

I have quite a few stencils and still struggle using them. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for this card. I decided to look for stamps first. Saw this one from Club Scrap that I haven't used for a long long time.. So I stamped it on some rust card stock. I used My favorite things stitch die. I then thought the next to figure out a color and stencil. So I know blue is the complement color to the rust color so I chose this Ranger ink. I found a nice Newton's nook stencil and created the background. I then found a sentiment that was a sticker..  I added a little Spectrum Noir sparkle brush to the image in different areas.

ANYTHING  BUT A CARD

So this is a mini album that is 4X6. The kit is called Sunshine and good vibes from Quick quote. All the papers and everything is in the kit but the chalk ink.. which you can find on their website store.  It's a great company and they are in quite a few craft stores.  They are in the county I live in and I do test kits for them before they go out into the public. This is one of the kits I worked on.  I used the chalk ink to distress the edges on most of the dies. The ribbon was in the kit.
