Simply put

Welcome everyone, this week we are starting a new challenge at Scrapy Land challenge #20 and the twist for this Bi-Weekly challenge is used your “favorite color combo”. That is so hard I have so many colors I love to work with so I choose these colors for this challenge. You can win a $15.00 gift card from Scrapy Land. The only thing you need to do is use the die cuts that Scrapy Land sells at their store.

The designer paper used is from Graphic 45 it is the Botanical tea stack. I lightly went around on the green and blues with distress inks bundled sage and tumbled glass. It is a little hard to see but I did add some lace to the upper and lower part of the card.

Pleated satin ribbon from Stampin up color it says red.

Closer look at the flowers. I used Stickles paprika glitter glue for the centers.

The sentiment I used is from The Angel Company, I used distress ink bundled sage to stamp it. You have a good look at the tiny humming birds here. Added some Wink a Stella color clear to the flowers.

The sentiment on the inside is from Inkadinkado. Added on of the small humming birds to the inside. I used a punch from EK Success to punch out the sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great week. Come and join us if you can.

Love is like a Butterfly

When a person has problems with their blog it is no fun because trying to figure it out can take some time and I still do not know if I have things right. Time for the Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and the twist for this week is to make a Fathers day or Nature card. This way if your father is gone you have a choice. My Dad has been gone since 2006 and I sure miss him. Our sponsor for the month of June is Stitchy Bear and the image that I’m using is called Butterfly and Hibiscus.

I cut the image cut with spellbinder elegant oval. Punched out a few MS butterflies and punched out 1 of stampin up modern labels for the sentiment.

The sentiment on the outside is from The Angel Co. The paper used is from The Paper Studio Country Road stack.

On the center of the flower I added some Earthy Elements. I used some Wink of Stella on the Butterfly color blue, black and yellow.

This sentiment is from stampendous. The butterfly stamps are from The Angel Company and the inks are Brilliance orange and yellow.

These are the copic markers used to color the image. This is the close up of the image.

Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful week end.

"Music is the language spoken by Angels"

It is time for our weekly challenge at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and the twisted for this week is "Music Inspired". Our sponsor for the month of June is Stitchy Bear and the image I choose to use is called "Violin". We would love for you to join us.

I love the music from the Violin. I grew up hearing the sounds of my string interments. My father played anything that had strings and he taught himself how to play and now my grandson Aiden has been playing the Violin since he was in 4th grade and he is now going into 8th grade and I'm so proud of him and I know my Dad would be also.

The spellbinder used to cut out the image is called floral assortment and I think it is so elegant.

Another view of the card. Added some ribbon from Hobby Lobby. The sentiments are punched out with stampin up large oval  punch. I sponged around the edges with some memento ink color rick brown.

 

Went around the edges with the Viva pearl pen colors gold and dark brown on the inside and the front. I did a close up of the front so you could see how the pearl pen colors looked.

                               The sentiments are from TLC. I think they are so beautiful. These are the copic markers I used to color my image and I also used Wink of Stella colors black and brown.

Here is the close up of the image I colored.

I'm still using blogger to upload my cards and I can not figure out why I have this border around my pictures. Well thanks for stopping by and have a great week end.

Cards for the TROOPS!

I want to share with everyone some of the cards my friends and myself just made to send off  to OWH and I’m so glad they do not need so many cards anymore being that we do not have as many Soldiers over Seas anymore. We are going to miss making the cards. I add the card in no special order. I hope they might give you some ideas.

 Thanks for stopping by.
