I feel like I’m really not giving you all the information and I’m just trying to get all kinds of things done. I so sorry my friends that I have not stopped by your blogs, I will try and do some comments. Just to let everyone know, I know I have said something about going out of town. I’m going to try and post all I can on my challenges and I hope everything goes good. So please bear with me. Thanks for stopping by.

 

Thinking of you today

Been a little while since I posted. Been working on my cards and getting things ahead so I can leave town and all I need to do is post the finished card. My mind is going kind of crazy thinking of all the things I have to do, I will get everything done. Going down to Austin to see my brother,  sister and a friend. Not all a fun trip. So lets talk about the card. I ended up making it a GET WELL card with a Fall theme. The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge has started and the twisted for this is “ANYTHING GOES WITH THE TWIST OF FALL”.  The sponsor for this month is Nicecrane designs. If you love Vintage this is the place to go. Here is the STORE and here is the BLOG. The image I used is from Vintage cute kids DSL IV Sheet. If you order the sheet you can get all 6 images and they also come in color.

The paper is from DCWV  Indian summer fall stack.   The sentiment is from Door Country. Several time used EK Success falling leaves edger.

Pearl Pen from Viva color sunny yellow.  Yellow ribbon and button. The extra leaves are the ones that are left from the punch, added them to the card.

The inside sentiment is from Stampendous. Added a couple of my lady bugs.

Copic markers used to color image. Close up of the image.

I have been taking these creative background classes over at CMC with Marie Gamber.

I want to share with you how I got my background. These are the copic I used. This was before I made the card. If you would like to know more about Marie’s really interesting techniques you can click here.

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.
