Rainy Days

Hello all my wonderful friends. We have our challenge for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday starting today. The challenge is ANYTHING GOES ON A RAINY DAY. Stop on over and check out the design teams cards everyone did a fantastic job. The images I used for my card is from Sassy Cheryls and is called “Land Swimmer’s”, I thought it would work with the theme we have for this week and it is a fun image. So the challenge ends on May 23, and we would love to see your creation. So I hope you can join us this week.

I had some problems putting my watermark on my first card as you can see but I did figure it out. I’m still having some problem trying to get everything to work right. I uploaded a image and I still can not find where it went. I had Window XP and now I have Windows 7 and so far I’m not to happy with Window 7. It takes me forever to do anything. Sorry you did not want to read this. But I know you will understand.

These are the copic markers I used to color my image. This is a pretty simple card. Add Diamond Glaze to give a wet look. The clip I added to the card is called Classic Clips I have had them for a long time. I have 4 different one’s 2 in gold and 2 in silver each has a different look. I do not know if you can even order them. Added glitter dots and a strip that had sticky on the back over the ribbon. Here is the close up of the image.
 

I do hope you like what I did. I tried some different colors and i9t was fun to do. So have a super week. I’m going to try and put my name on here but the last time it did not work so we will see if it works this time..
Sorry can’t figure how to get the black out of the box???

Hugs, Patricia

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Mother’s out their. I hope you had a fantastic day with your family. I’m so excited today my guys got me a NEW computer for Mother’s Day, as you all now I have been having computer problems and this is my first time posting on my blog so hope everything posts and I have no problems. So today is the big day for me and I sure hope everything posts fine. Our NEW CHALLENGE AT COLOR ME CREATIVE has started and it is ANYTHING GOES.  The challenge ends May 25th 7:00 EST. Remember you can enter up to 3 cards in each challenge. Love to see what you create. Our sponsor for the challenge is Some Odd Girls. Stop by and check them out they have some wonderful images.
 

What I made is called a Spinner Card, when you tip the card from one side to the other the card spins on a circle. Most kids get a charge out of these cards. The stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs stamp is called Lizzy Ladybug. My sentiment is from The Angel Company. Paper is from Die Cuts with a View. I stamped the image and the sentiment with Memento’s tuxedo black ink. Colored the image with copic markers.

Here is what the inside of the card looks like the person I made this for love ladybugs.

So happy to be back. My computer died on me so that is why I have been so quiet. Now it is all fixed and ready to go again. So we have over at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge is  ANYTHING GOES WITH BINGO here is the chart and I hope you have fun with it. On my card I did distress inks, brads and sentiment. Challenge ends May 16, 2012.

 
I used crygoen white paper and I love the way it sparkles so after I was all done I did add just a little more glitter spray and I love how that turned out. Start with a card front that is bigger then you want so after you can trim off the edges. I used all distressed inks and I sponged the background first. I colored a little of the sun area with mustard seed and after a few minutes (so it can dye) I punched out 1.75 inch round circle out of Eclipes delicately sticky adhesive paper (great for masking) and placed it on the inked mustard seed ink as I did not want that area to get anymore different colors. As I’m adding the colors I always work from off the paper, I added some mustard seed out of the circle now wild honey, tumbled glass, bundled sage and old paper. These colors I used mostly for the edges chipped sapphired and forest moss remember to blend color as you are adding them.
 
The stamp set I used is called Inspired by Nature from Stampin up. What I used for coloring the stamps is Marvy Brush Markers, if you have not used them these have a large brush you ink your stamps with the markers and I just sprits a little water on them so they do not dry and apply the stamp to the paper. The colors I used are rosewood, ochre, brown, pine green and butter yellow.
I hope you understand this if you have any questions PLEASE ask. We would love to see your card at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge and stop by and see what the other DT members have done their cards are wonderful.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I have missed everyone. Sorry if I have not stopped by your blog. I’m sure I will be their soon.

I would like to thank all the girls that entered a card in last weeks challenge we had a fantastic turn out. Lets see what we can do for this challenge….. I made this card for someone special and I’m sure you can tell she likes RED. I haven’t showed my grandkids (Emma and Aiden) yet but I know they will be all excited to see it. I think this is the first time I have ever made a card and did not put any ink on the front of the card. I keep looking at it and I feel something is missing but I just can’t put my finger on it.

This is what the inside look like and I did used some ink it is Distress ink color worn lipstick.  The sentiment is a stamp from inkadinkado. Sorry I can’t tell you who the Mother’s day stamp is from I have had it for a long time.

The die cut I used are poppy stamp die grand madison window and used Judi kins transparent emboss able window plastic, poppy stamp die grand flower box, poppy stamp die breezy wreath, memory box die savannah border and spellbinders ribbon tag trio for the Happy Mother’s day. Punches are from Martha Steward Garden Trellis and the floral lace edger. Heart gems 2 red in color.


I was trying to see if you can see the plastic in the window. I’m not sure if you can.
I know everyone is going to say that I worked so hard on this card but it was really not that hard. Everyone forgets that I love doing thing like this. If you get a chance we would love to see you enter a card in the challenge and also do not forget we have a FREEBIE sections over at The Outlawz and we would love for you to come and check us out, we have lots of fun things going on so I invite you come and see.

Joyful Stamper-Anything goes enda May 12

Were doing a hop, were doing a Birthday Hop!!!

The Color Me Creative Design Team has a secret!!!  Today we are hopping along to wish our fearless leader, Suzanne Dean, a VERY happy birthday!!!  Suzanne is the owner/creator of the Color Me Creative site and, as many of you know, teaches her Copic classes online and on the road!  She is one busy momma and we thought we'd take time to wish her a happy day and hope she gets to sit with her Cherry Coke and donuts (ya, a fav combination of hers!) and relax a bit today and enjoy the hop!
Each of us decided it would be fun to remember Suzanne today in "typical Suzanne" style!  Our creations will either help remember a "funny travel moment" with Suzanne or... share a secret about Suzanne.  Ha!!!  Bet she didn't see this coming!!! LOL
Here is what I created today....

I hope you are having a great time in Vegas. I went with the theme BOOKS, I know how much you love to read so I used Tiddly Inks images “school girl”, “boy old book” and “book”. I know Red is favorite color and you also like yellow. Beside reading you are also a teacher, you love the beach (South Carolina), love Zebra's, airplanes you a traveler, you love your family with all your heart, fantastic mother and wife, you have lots of true friends, you love to dance and you really love to dance at your Copic classes, right??? 

So to follow the theme I added some more books.

I like to tell some people a little something more about you. Suzanne is in love with Luke Bryan. Suzanne’s own words are..Love's her Luke-y....sigh....drool....lol.. So I added this for your enjoyment. Happy Birthday .

Now if you would like to see what the other girls have created for Suzanne you can stop on over.

Hydrangea for someone Special

We had a nice surprise happen on Wednesday my grandson Isaiah from South Dakota stopped in and we will have him though the week in but he has to go back but after schools out he will be coming back to spend the summer. It is so wonderful to see him.
Now it is time to start The Outlawz Twisted Thursday’s Challenge and for this week it is “ANYTHING GOES WITH A TWIST WITH FLOWERS”!!! challenge ends on Wednesday evening May 1. So Anne, Sharri, Melissa, Kym, Sandra and Marie all want to invite you to join us for our challenge and to come on over and see all our creations. Remember your tag for this challenge is TT042612….
  

This is what the inside look like. I asked Isaiah if he needed a Mother’s Day card for his Mother and of course he said yes so he loved the card so I’m going to send it with him so he can give it to his mother for Mother’s day. I do not know who made the mother’s day stamp it is one I have had for a very long time.

The papers I used are from my scraps. The flower stamp I used is the hydrangea stamp from Heartfeld Creations. I used Martha Steward hydrangea punch.  How I did the flower was I colored a full sheet of card stock with distressed inks colors Victorian velvet, seedless preserves, milled lavender, dusty concord,broken china,chipped sapphire,faded jeans and stormy sky. I sponged all over the card stock to create different shades of colors. Then I punched out the flowers.

My back round die is from spellbinder and my friend Lee let me use it and I do not know the name of the die so sorry. I added tiny pearls and some ribbon that I had.

I did color my image and these are the copic markers I used to color my image. After I put everything together I sprayed my card with A-Mused stardust finishing spray, I love the sparkle it gives the card and I hope you can see it. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope your week is going good.
