The Outlawz Sketch 6-19

Morning peeps.  Almost forgot to do this challenge.  I have been busy catching up on the ones I let slide while I was sick.  I think I am almost caught up.

The sketch this week over at The Outlawz is this one. 

 
My card:
 
 
 
I used papers from Kaisercraft Remember Me 6 1/2"  paper pad.  The image is "Pippin and the Apple: by JenLee and is available at the DigiStamps4Joy Store.  I  used a Spellbinders scalloped oval to cut the image and colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment die is from Stampin' Up and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I popped the sentiment up with foam tape.  I colored the two pearls from Want2Scrap with a Copic marker to match the paper and the outfit on the image.

Tuesday Throwdown #152

Hi Peeps!  Today's challenge at Tuesday Throwdown is sponsored by The Paper Shelter.  The theme is "Fantasy."  For my image, I chose Magic Bubble Bath.  You can find the image here.  One of the great things about their stamps, is that they come with a pre-colored image and also a matching paper in addition to the regular stamp.  They also show a sample of a card made with the image.  Feeling a little bit lazy, I decided to go with the pre-colored image.  I used flowers from Prima and Kaisercraft.  The pleated ribbon is from Stampin' Up.  I added a little Glossy Accents to the tub and Stickles to the wings.  The doily pieces are from Wilton.  I just cut a heart in half.  I used two Spellbinder sets for the die cuts - Labels Twenty-Six and Decorative Labels One.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #8

Hi Peeps.  It's time to post the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge once again.  I am still getting used to their guidelines for the DT entries, but I'll get there sooner or later.  This week, the sketch showed a chevron paper in the background.  I just happened to have this chevron paper, even though you can use any kind of background paper that suits you.  Instead of a flower, I decided to use a digi from Bugaboo Stamps instead.  I added the sentiment from SK Digis.  I used Copics for the image.

Tammy's Scrapin Corner #67 - Anything With Wings

Morning Peeps.  I am happy to announce this morning that I think my bronchitis has finally taken a hike.  It can stay gone as far as I am concerned.  It's nice to be back in the land of the living. 

Today over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner the challenge is Anything With Wings.  Our fantastic sponsor for this challenge is Eureka Stamps.  For my card, I chose to use Small Flower Angel.

I have been wanting to use the center step card from the Silhouette Store.  It cut perfectly for all parts.  For the image die cut, I used the largest die from Spellbinders Floral Ovals.  I colored the image with Copic Markers and sponged Squeezed Lemonade distress ink over the bare spots on the oval.  I added some flowers from Recollections and a punched leaf from Martha Stewart.

The Outlawz Sketch 6/12

The sketch for the Outlawz sketch challenge for today was quite a challenge.  I wasn't sure what I would use in the three small boxes.  I felt they were once again too small for a full stamp.  So, I checked out what tall, narrow stamps I had and decided this one would be perfect to cut into three pieces.  I added some Stickles to the flowers to make them sparkle and go along with the sentiment.


 
Materials used:
Core-dinations cardstock
Recollections cardstock
Delta Rubber Stampede Daisy Stem stamp
Hero Arts sentiment stamp
Stickles

Atlantic Hearts Challenge #7

Since it is only a couple weeks until we celebrate Independence Day, I thought I would make up a couple Fourth of July cards.  I used this Bo Bunny paper and embellishments to make this card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #7.  The solid color cardstocks and sentiment are from my scrap stash.  I colored the bling from Want2Scrap with my Copic markers to match the paper.

Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge 66

Morning peeps.  Today's challenge over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner is to do a manly/Father's Day card.  I chose to use Happy Octopus and sentiment from our Sponsor, SK Digis.  I thought he would be a good hugger for Dad.  When I went to do the water scene, I remembered the cork sheets that I bought about a year ago and haven't used since.  The next project was to find where I put them.  That was the hard part.  Once I found them, I cut a small piece to use as the sand on my card.  I printed out the water-y looking paper from a file I had saved on my computer and used the Fiskar's wave punch on the edge.  I has a sunrise picture in my file from a cruise I took so I printed it out on cardstock and used it for my sky.  I colored the goofy looking octopus with Copics and added some googly eyes.  I printed and cut the image and sentiment with my Silhouette Cameo.
