Challenge I brake for stamps

Just the way you are

Hello everyone. At Cards for Men challenge #4 is Valentines Day/ Love it starts today and ends February 26. Our sponsor is Fresh Brewed Designs.
The images I used are called Hannah Belle Ladybug and Dipped Strawberry.

Hi. I am Heather Dennis. I am a homeschooling mother of 2 wonderful children, the wife of 12 years to the love of my life, a Christian and the owner of Fresh Brewed Designs. I have loved to draw and create ever since I was a child. My daughter has inherited my love of art and recently inspired me to start creating again.
All the images in my shop are hand drawn. I offer a wide range of images from coffee, cute and inspirational. I also love to create custom drawn images, so if you are looking for anything in particular, please feel free to drop me an email.
Prize: 3 digi images of your choice
 
The dies I used are from Memories Box called Tilda Swirl and Cherish Border. Created the sky with a template and sponged with brilliance sky blue. I did make the strawberries real small. I  did her outfit by paper piecing. I did use copic markers to color my image. The sentiment is from a set of Stampin up stamps called Sprinkled Expressions.

I hope you can join us at Cards For Men. Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week.

Beauty in Nature

Over at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday our challenge has started and for this week we are doing MASCULINE cards. I do hope you join us. The challenge ends February 15 and you need to tag your card with TT020912 when you enter. I’m looking forward in seeing all the wonderful creations. I have not done scenery card in awhile and I have been wanting to do some. The design of my card is something I created, I was having problems with some of the other fold cards in keeping them to stay standing. I’m happy with the one I created because it stands up real good. I’m not quite done with it because I need to do something for the front and when I have that all figured out I will share the how to make this card with you so until then I will show you what I did in the inside.

My card is kind of flat here. I did mask some things. I created my scene with several brilliance inks (you can use all kinds of dye base inks) This is on matt paper. It is important to make sure all your inks are dry before you add any other inks.  I used a lot of different stamps and I did touch the memento tuxedo black ink with some white ink to put in some highlights.

If you apply any ink over the mementos ink MAKE SURE IT IS DRY because if it is not you are going to smear the black ink and you do not want to do that..

I do hope you like my card. I will be doing a different scene. Then I will share the how too and will have it totally done. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs Patricia

With Love

I hope you have been having a wonderful week. Things here in Wisconsin have been really nice so far no snow and the temps are going to be in the 40’s and 50’s. Happy Groundhog Day, last year at this time we got 19.5 inches of new snow and I’m really that we did not get any of that kind of snow today. At The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge that starts today our theme is Valentine’s/Love and when you join us you need to tag your card with TT020212 and enter it in the inlinkz. The challenge ends on February 7, 2012.

Here is a side view. The two images are from Mo Manning, they are called With Love Boy and With Love. My sentiment is from Sentiment 4 you. Used Stampin up punch called Pinking Hearts Border. Distress all the edges with Distress ink called Weathered Wood. All the paper I used was from my scrapes. Found some lace, 3 buttons and ribbon.

I did cut the boy out and his scraps of papers so I mounted with foam tape. Also distress most of the edges. Add glitter to each of the hearts boys peach color and the girl pink color.

Here is the close up of the kids. They are just adorable.

These are the copics I used for coloring my image. I did some highlighting with some Prisma Color pencils. Thanks so much for stopping. Have a great week.

Should I??

Sorry I’m a little late but I had a doctors appointment this morning and just got back so I want to get it posted asap. So at Cards for Men the challenge SEEING RED. Our sponsor is Letrasset and they are giving away a set of Flex Marker. Those markers look really interesting.

Here's the blurb for Letreset and the Badge
ProMarkers are made by Letraset and are a twin tipped, dye based alcohol marker offering a high quality product at a great price. Available in 148 colors, they give incredible tonal range and can be applied to a diverse range of materials, not just paper and card. ProMarkers produce vivid, bright colors right through to the subtlest pastel shades - the translucent inks can also be overlaid and blended, even further extending the range of shades and hues on offer. ProMarker's quality nibs and inks provide flawless color lay down with consistent coverage and no unsightly streaking.

I add two of Mo Manning images, one is Boy Who me? and the other one is Snowman. I also used the sentiment from Boss Art it is in the set called snowflake seal set. After I colored the images and was looking at them I started to laugh… When my boys where young I could see them standing in the back yard doing this, looking around making sure no one is watching because you see that Cardinal sitting on the branch I could see one of my boys and I have 3 trying to hit that pour bird with the snow ball.. He knows he would get in trouble so he would make sure no one is watching.

I used some of my Styrofoam fluff I make for the snow. Some metal red dots, Twine red, brilliance ink Sky Blue, and the card stock is from DCWV.

These are the copic markers I used to color my images. I do hope you can join us at Cards for Men, I look forward in seeing your card.
Thanks for stopping by and we are going to have great weather this week so I hope it is going to be great by you also. Have a wonderful week.
