Would this face lie? Aud Sentiments #190

Thursday October 5-16, 2017

 

Welcome to another fun challenge at Aud Sentiments #190

The theme is

 USE A DIE CUT + SENTIMENT

 

 

 

Our sponsor is The Paper Shelter

 

This is my card using the image "The glamorous girls"

I started with the background. I ran scraps through my paper trimmer. (I saw a video by Jennifer McGuire - months ago doing this) and then I picked different colors.. Not really looking because I wanted it random but I also wanted them plain. no design.. and laid the strips down on a sticky card scrap. I then trimmed the ends to make a A2 base. I colored the image with copics picking some of the colors from the background. I then used Simon Says wonky die and added this to the background. I added some half pearls. The sentiment is from "Art Impressions" it's an old wood block rubber stamp. I thought with the blondish girl.. it fit her expression.

I hope you play along and check out the DT creations at Aud Sentiment.

Inspiration Destination #135

Wednesday October 4-17, 2017

 

Good day.. Hope you're having a wonderful day..

 

We have another challenge for you at

Inspiration Destination #135

It's ANYTHING GOES

 

 

Our sponsor for these two weeks is Rick St. dennis

 

I am using the image "Bertie".. I thought this is such a funny fun image. I couldn't think of a sentiment to use. I am sure I probably have one but my mind just couldn't figure one.. but I think the squirrel says it all and Bertie expression..

I colored the image with copics and used the Simon Says Wonky die. I added my cloud template and called it done.

This was so simple to create. I didn't think Nuvo drops or twine would benefit the card so it's pretty simple. Simple is good. 

I hope you check out the DT creations. They do awesome work and there's plenty inspiration.

hello sweet - Paper Play Sketches

Wednesday October 4, 2017

 

It's time for another challenge at Paper Play Sketches

and we have a color challenge for you this week.

 

 

This is the awesome color challenge.. Great colors (I think)

 

I have this stamp set from Concord and 9th and been waiting to use it.. Summer got away from me on using it so thought ok we still eat fruit in the fall.. So this is my card.  I used water color paper and Ranger inks, color burst ink and created the background. I dried it and spritzed water on it to get this splatter effect. Ok that was the red color.. I then used the  larger stamps to create the orange, the smaller stamp to create the lemon and line.  I had some scraps of black and white stripes and so added that so there was some contrast. I then die cut the sentiment also from the stamp set three times and added it along with some sequins.  I love the bold colors.  I hope you can play along and if you need inspiration check out the design teams creations.

Season's greetings - Bugaboo new release

Tuesday October 3, 2017

 

It's a Tuesday and so you know what that means at Bugaboo.. It's new release and today we have 4 new images..

So check out the Catch the bug dt and see what the ladies created. I am using only one of the images.

 

 

I am using the image called Winter kid pup.. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils. All of it is with pencils and then I went over the black lines with a sharpie to bring back the rich black color that colored pencils take away. I added snowflakes with a glitter jelly roll pen.

I sat out on my deck one day last week with nice 88 degrees out and colored a bunch a of images that I pre stamped and some I have to paint... but looking at our weather looks like the rest will be done in the house.. from 88 one day to barely 60's the next..  Any how I thought after I colored it and was making it into a card.. what colors for the rest of the card. I found this awesome snowflake dp and then looked at my frames and found this My Favorite Things die and it was white once I cut it out ..so hum ... I took out my Ranger ink and sponged the frame. I added Paper Trey Ink sentiment to the inside and outside and went around the bottom sentiment with some Quick Quote pink chalk ink.

Make sure you check out the DT creations.. Like I said there are 4 different images in the release and all darling..

Happy Birthday - Creative with Stamps #19

Sunday October 1-31, 2017

 

It's time for another challenge at Creative with Stamps #19.

Our theme for this month is

 SHOES (I bet Monika picked the theme... LOL)

 

 

Please - Please add the banner below showing the theme in your challenge line up.

 

 

I only have a couple shoe stamps.. I used one early spring so this is the second one.. I will have to think real hard and dig through my stamps to make sure I don't have another one my mind might of missed for our mid month reminder.. This is a Simon Says stamp and I just stamped the shoes all over the card. I only colored the bottom band of the shoe as I thought it needed some color but I wanted just a small amount. I used stars in two sizes in two different Ranger inks. I added small dots Nuvo to the center of the stars. I die cut the Happy from My Favorite Things and the Birthday from Paper Trey Ink.  I think this is a great masculine card but keeping the colors simple I think its great for a girl.  Head over to the Creative with Stamps site and see what the DT came up with..

NOTE:  CWS challenges do not have many "Guidelines", but please read and follow the few we do have to be eligible to win.
