Rebecca

It has been time for Color Me Creative challenge #75, and for the challenge it is all about ANY WAY YOU LIKE IT, the challenge ends August 30 2013 8pm,  all you need to do is color an image. You can use Copic markers, Pisma colored pencils, Pro Marker or other alcohol markers. Can enter up to 3 projects and no back linking. My images is from Sugar Nellie and the name of the image is Rebecca.  Our sponsor is Marker Pop! You can win a $25.00 Gift Certificate.

The paper is from DCWV it is the Linen stack. The dies spellbinders Gold labels four and eyelet border. Cheery Lyn designs lace light deco border. La la land craft die banner.

The hearts can from La La Lands banner and the butterflies are from punch a bunch.

This is the inside of the card. I had to cut Gold labels 4 down to get it to fit but I think it is ok. Left open for a sentiment or a stamped message.

These are the copic markers I used to color her. This is the finish Rebecca.

I did something a little different this time, I used some prisma colored pencils after I color Rebecca with my copic markers. I wanted to see if that made any difference. The first one you can see I did not finish the sky but that is the one only colored with the copics. The second one is colored with both copics and pencils. I found that it was very easy to add the pencils and I found it more controlling in the tiny places to add more color. What do you think? I think it turned out really nice. You be honest.

So glad you stopped by, hope you enjoyed my card. Suzanne has all kinds of classes for beginners to advance. Stop by and see what she offers.

All over again

I received in the mail a package from Magnolia Surprise that I won. I had no idea what I was getting. I received 2 magnolia stamps and some paper. That was a big surprise to me. I just love the stamps one is called Tilda makes a blueberry blanket and the other one has no name on it but it looks like Tilda sitting and she is a pirate, so I will have to look her up and see what she is called. This is so awesome, I never win anything.. I’m here today to tell you about the Cards for Men Challenge and for our challenge #17 is all about MAKING A BIRTHDAY CARD AND MAKING IT FUNNY. The challenge starts today and ends Sept 2 2013. The sponsor is QKR Stampede and you can win 5 digital images. My image is called ALL TIED UP and you can find him here. 
Here is a little about QKR Stampede.  Do you have a sense of humor? Are you looking for a cute stamp? Then, we are the company for you! QKR Stampede is the somewhat cute somewhat quirky rubber and digital stamp company. We showcase the artwork of Ken Herrod, who had a unique, somewhat quirky style with lots of humor and character. You are sure to get a chuckle out of our stamps! We have been offering our unique stamps and supplies to the craft industry for over 15 years. At QKR Stampede our images are available as un-mounted, natural red rubber stamps OR as digital stamps! If QKR Stampede Stamps aren't exactly what you are looking for, don’t miss out on the sister companies: Eureka Stamps, Biblical Impressions Rubber Stamps, or the newest addition; Alluring Impressions.

I’m not a funny kind of Birthday card person but I did think of several really cute sentiments that would work with this adorable bear but I can still stamp a Happy Birthday on the inside. These two sentiments are from ATC and I thought they where perfect with this guy and get my mind out of the gutter.

The papers are from stampin up stack called just add cake and several layer from the stack.  There is not much to the card, I feel like I cheated, that is how easy it was. Add some orange and green metal dots.

Used stampin up pinking hearts border for the edges. Left open for a stamped or written sentiment.

Copic markers used to color the image. This is the close up.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope your week end was wonderful and everyone is dry and away from the fires.

A day of joy

We have started The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and  if is ANYTHING GOES and each week we always add a TWIST and for this week it is TO ADD MIX MEDIA to your card. I had so much fun making my card. I have so much mediums and I need to start using them. The stamp set is from 100% proof (never heard of the company) and my girlfriend Lee is the one the owns the set , she purchased the set awhile ago and let our friend Pam use it and Pam returned it to Lee at our stamp club and of course I seen it so I asked if I could take it home with me and Lee said “yes” because she is so sweet. So I will return it to her at stamp club. I love Silhouettes, I made two cards. You will see the other card for next weeks Twisted Thursday challenge.

Our sponsor for the month of August is My Besties, you can stop by and see the darling images Sherri has provided us! You can win 5 amazing images from The Besties.

Here I will tell you what medium I used, to get most of the mediums to stick I used versamark watermark stamp pad, also heat embossed to set most madiums,  Krylon gold leafing pen, visa inka gold color red, stampendous fran-tage champagne, gilded mica fragments, crushed glass glitter, Suze Weinberg’s ultra think embossing enamel colors red, white and clear. Distress ink color festive berries.

The die cuts are, Tim Holtz butterflight cut one in red and one in white, spellbinders floral doily motifs and the accents cut each of them in red card stock and white card stock. Cuttlebug embossing folder plaid.

The flowers are punched out with Nellie Snellen flower medium FLP006 and the embosser FLP006, large flower FLP007 and the embosser FLP007. Added red gem to the center and just tipped the ends of the flower in distress ink color festive berries. The flowers are white foam with sparkles.

Added pearls around the frame and long the middle of the ribbon. My ribbon I have had for a long time, added fabric glue to the ribbon and tried to make pleats, them added the pearls and glued them with the fabric glue. 

This is what I did for the inside. Added some Viva Pearl Pen color red. Left open for a stamped message or a written one. I hope with these close ups you can see all the effects of the mediums.

Oh Butterfly’s

It is time again for the challenge at The Outlaws Twisted Thursdays and our challenge is ANYTHING GOES and the TWIST for this week is to MAKE YOUR OWN EMBELLISHMENTS.  My project is made with four punches. Martha Steward punch and stamp butterfly, vintage doily, butterfly border and stampin up 1 1/4 circle scalloped .  The size is 13’ by 13”. The paper is from bazzill basic  colors mud puddle and sunset rose. The colors used for the doily's and the butterfly’s I picked from my scraps so I’m not sure to what the names are to the colors. It was 2 shades red, 2 shades  pink, 2 shades crème, 2 shades yellow. Why??? I have no idea…  Added a butterfly charm.

Our Sponsor for the month of August is Besties by Sherri Baldy, so we would love to have you join us for all the challenges this month. Stop by Twisted Thursdays Challenge and see all the images you can win if you join us for the month of August.

 

What I did with all the colors is I embossed them with cuttle bug folder dots. After that I added some inka gold metallic red, gold, pink to the embossed papers. Then I punched the butterfly’s out. On the bottom butterfly colored the antenna and tails with smooch black and the rest of them I out them off.  

Here you can see the butterfly’s are three layers. Added stickles glitter glue star dust to the ends of their wings.

In the center of the butterfly’s added pearl pen yellow, red and pink.

I’m really not happy with the pictures, I had a hard time getting good ones for some reason. Thanks for stopping by, hope all is well on your end. I had a wonderful surprise this week my grandson Isaiah from South Dakota is here. He is growing up so fast, 15 years old now and another surprise he finally got his black belt in Tae Kwon Do, I’m so proud of him.
