Juke Box Baby

Color Me Creative challenge #76 is all about “RETRO FUN” Our sponsor for the challenge is Digi My World and the image set I used is DS73 called 50’s Juke Box.

Added all kinds of glitter to the juke box, Martha Stewards bronze, soft pink and Deco Art glamour dust. Added some Stickles glitter glue to the paper color silver and glam pink. The paper is from The Paper Studio. The music die is from CC designs called music border.  Using foam dots popped up the record, juke box and the girl.

The sunglasses, roller skates and the B, all came in a button container I got at Hobby Lobby a long time ago. The bow is out of paper and this is the first time I have tried make a bow with paper. I was going to share the template with you but for reason I can not find it but when I do I will share it with you.

The inside records are stamps from Graphic rubber stamps. The ink I used was memento tuxedo black, then used Versa mark and added clear embossing power and heat set that so the records looked shiny. The die cut is from CC Designs called music border.

These are the copic markers used to color the images.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

Tag it..

It time for Cards For Men challenge # 18. Our sponsor for the challenge is Fresh Brewed designs. The image I used is called Balloon.

To enter, we need to see your Tags (either on their own or on a card).  

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.

I’m not a big tag person but it was fun putting this together, I had now idea what I was going to do. I had this container I had been putting little thing in for awhile so I thought… why not dumped it out and this is what I got. I colored the center with the copic markers and sponged the edges with distress ink color tumbled glass and added viva inka gold color blue. On the right side is a prima craftsman wood embellishment. Above that I’m not sure if it was a button or not, thought it would work for a guy.

The numbers tape is from Studio G decorative tape. I printed up the up and away. I distress the edges with my NEW Zutter distresser. I cut the balloons out and if you look at the image it has rope blowing in the wind with flags, so I tried to draw them (do not draw well) and took a tiny heart punch and cut it in half and used them for the so called flying flags (not so floppy in the wind). On the clock drew in the time it was the time I finished my tag. The gears I just had.  

No idea why??? Thought these would be different like flags flopping in the wind. The metal corners just only had one of each and the little thingy in the middle is kind of pretty, so added the flowers that I already had made. Added eyelets and rings. 

For just 3 balloons this is also of colors but trying to add shades with the light coming from the upper left side. The right side could have been a little darker and the upper left should have been lighter. The BG’s, B, C’s and the W was for coloring the sky. The gems on the balloons are some tiny ones.  I hope you enjoyed my card.

Sorry for all the talking. Tried to keep it short. Have a wonderful Labor Day and a super week. Thanks for stopping by.

Make A Wish

This is not a hard card to make! All you have to do is 3 folds and 2 cuts and I have the pattern for you so you can make one. First things, our Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge has started and as always it is ANYTHING GOES with a TWIST and the twist for this week is “YOUR FAVORITE THING”. How easy can that be? My favorite thing with this card is folds, silhouettes, sentiment and using the entire stamp set. To be honest I do not have one favorite thing… I love making cards so whatever I do I enjoy, and that’s the truth.

Our Sponsor for the month of August is The Besties, Sherri has created some fantastic images for you to win.

 

Card is called Tri-Shutter Card/with full front and I do love that about this Tri-Shutter card, when it is folded the size is 6”by4” so it is easy to put in an envelope. The stamp set is from 100% proof and I used the entire stamp set. Stamp everything with versafine onyx black and set aside to make sure everything dried.  Added a ribbon and brads. The paper is from DCWV but I do not know what stack it is from.

You can click on the pattern and save as and you will have the pattern.

This is what the front looks like. Added a little ribbon, buttons and paper flowers with gems.

If you try and make the card and have a problem let me know and I will help you. If you get a chance stop by and see what the other designers have created for the challenge, They have created some awesome cards.

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.
