Challenge time at The Cheerful Stamp Pad #61

A new challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad, My Kind of Gal sponsored by Stitchy Bear’s Outlet-Gingerloft. the image I chose to work with is a cute girlie butterfly and there isn’t a more girlie colour than PINK. I seem to be using a lot of pink lately. I coloured the image with pencil crayons and oms, mounted it on a Fleur dis lis die cut and the background is Hero Arts polka dot which I inked in Brilliance Coral and embossed it with Silver Pearl ep from Ranger. Pink rhinestones and stickles on the wings make them sparkle.

Supplies:

Drunken Stampers challenge #129 Hangover…the movie

Okay here I am again another movie I haven’t seen, not Hangover 1, or 2 and now Hangover 3 is in the theatre. So I went with a Las Vegas theme as it says in the challenge rules you will find at the Drunken Stampers challenge Blog. Check them out and join in the fun for the  Hangover challenge.

Here is my card for the challenge, as a lot of you know I am not one that likes to distress and boy is this one distressed. I bought the 3 TH card embossing folders at Scrapfest with the challenge in mind. I used the TH core’nations cardstock and sanded them, then took my handy, dandy scissors and distressed the edges, mounted them on a page from a stack pad, but you can’t see much of it. I then mounded it on a black base.

Thanks for checking my blog today and don’t forget to join the Midnight Margaritas for the “Hangover” challenge. Just click HERE to get all the information and check out the rest of the inspiration the crew has made.

New Week, New Challenge at Clear it Out Tuesday

Hi everyone….hope you had a fabulous first long weekend of the year. We celebrate the Queen’s birthday or Victoria Day on the weekend before the 24th of May. In Woodstock there is a parade but we came to the cottage to enjoy the weekend. I am limited to what I can do here as I only have dial up and crossing my fingers this blog will post without a lot of trouble.
The challenge at Clear it Out is Critters and the stash item is earth-tones. The two sponsors for the challenge are Digi Darla and QKR. I used a Digi Darla image of a giraffe.

How I love taking pictures on the porch by my clematis, it give such a fabulous background. I finished my card and thought hmm it needs something more, of course I didn’t bring  a lot of things with me but I found some buttons that would work. I think they really did  too.

Natural with Stitchy Bear and The Cheerful Stamp Pad

Challenge #60 at The Cheerful Stamp Pad is sponsored by Stitchy Bear and the Theme is Natural.  My image is from our sponsor and  it says “Take time for Beauty it is everywhere in Nature” how beautiful is that. I coloured the image with pencil crayons and oms, fussy cut so the flower’s flowed off the border. I used earth tones for the base and the layer behind the image. I embossed the blue with a butterfly embossing folder. Now what is more natural than the colours of the earth, the sky and butterflies.

Supplies

Cardstock…….bashful blue, early expresso,Crumb cake
