Color Challenge at For Fun Challenge

This week at For Fun Challenges we have a color challenge it is Olive, purple and Black. I really had a lot of fun doing my card and I hope you will also. My background I sponged with Brilliance ink Olive and Violet. The stamp set I used for the background is from The Angel Company it is called “Branches in Bloom” and I stamped that with the Brilliance inks. I also used some dabbers to created some circles in different sizes. I used Nellies Floral Punches to create the flowers, it sure make it easy to make flowers and I put some rime stones in a soft lavender color in the middle. For the edges and the corners I used Blue Hills studio Lace Multi Shaper Punch. Added some silk purple butterflies and in the middle put some lavender pearls in each butterfly. Add some Stickles to give some sparkle star dust and lime green. After I did all of that I thought what am I missing BLACK so I added ribbon and a bow and some metal dots to bring in my black. So have fun and we will looking to see you card.

Thanks for stopping and have a warm and cozy day.

Hugs, Patricia

Poor Teddy, He’s my Best Friend

Squigglefly’s first challenge for 2011. The theme is “Put your Heart into it” so you need to use an image that has a heart or you can add your own hearts. We had some NEW images released on Saturday so if you would like to see them you can click here and see the New ones and all the other ones as well. My images is called Love’s Healing Hands by Cheryl Alger. Now if you join tagged your cards SFC#80. Up load you card at Squigglefly Blog.

These are the copics I used use to color my image. I started to to it this way because I have several project going at one time so this way I can keep track of what colors I use. I personally do not know if it matter to you to know what colors I use, let me know if you really do not care or if you like to know? I have been to a lot of other blogs and I have seen that they are not putting the colors that they use on there images and when I see something that is colored really nice and I wonder what colors they used I would like to know, so I would like to know if you also would like to know???

Here is a close up of the image I colored. I not real happy with her hair, but I love the way Teddy turned out. Sometimes I get the hair just fine and sometimes I have a problem.

Here I have the top and the bottom of the card. The sentiment is a stamp from Stampabilities. I have soo much ribbon and I trying to use some of it up so you are going to see a lot of ribbon on my cards. The beaded hearts I have had for a long time so I do not know where I got them from but I thought they worked well with the card. The orange hearts are the sticky ones you get like stickers. There is now reason for the layout of the card, I wanted to use the scrapbooking paper because I liked it and I have so much and I need to use more papers on my cards.

Thanks for stopping by. I hoped you like my card. Have a wonderful week.

A Request From One Of Our Chaplains in Afghanistan.

 

Posted: 09 Jan 2011 08:07 AM PST

Please ask as many as possible to continue to pray for us.  It has

been a mild winter thus far, and so the fighting has continued.  Please

keep us lifted up before the Lord as we finish out these last 4 months.

April 2011 is getting closer.

I am including two pictures.  One is of a mountain near here that

finally has snow on it, and the other is of our flag in the sunset.

Both of these were taken with the last view of 2010.

Thank you again for everything,

Corey

It gets very cold in Afghanistan this time of year you can see in the mountains. I know I would not want to be in those mountains. So our man and woman are in need of our prayers so please remember to keep them in our thoughts and prayers every day.

Hugs, Patricia

Jumpin Jelly Beans

We had our K-Town Stamper Club meeting this passed week and I wanted to share with you some of the things we did. Carol designed this card for all of up to make. She did a great job. The jelly bean cards she was able to get at the Jelly Belly out let store we have in town. We are some what blessed we have a Jelly Belly Factory in town so we can get all kinds of Jell Belly things that you might be able to us on a card. What a fun card to make.

We also did some magnets. Teri created these magnets sets that we all got to pick from and them put them together. She had punched out so many different designs, so we had all kinds to choose. I made the gift and of course I got on for Emma my cup cake girl but I have not put hers together yet. This coming week end is Aiden’s birthday and he will be 9 years old so I thought I would give him the gift one as something a little extra.

After that I put together some cards we could make for the Soldiers. So that is how we finished our evening out. It is always a nice time getting together with the girls. We work so wonderful as a group. So we made more plans for the year and if I can I will share then with you as the month go by. These are the cards I put together for the soldiers. I hope you enjoy them, very simple and NO GLITTER.

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful week end and will have a great week.

Hugs, Patricia ♥

It is a Fairy made with Flowers ornament

I used all of the artificial flower. For making these fairies the large flowers work the best. I pull then a part, every piece. I keep every thing. I will start from the head and go down. The hat is the backs of the flowers and the inserts they put in the middle of the flower. Once the hat is done I put a thread at the top for hanging and that size is up to you or if you want to wait tell you are all done then put the threat on that is fine also. I used my glue gun to put every thing together. I get the faces all ready painted on the wood balls. The hands are the leaves. If you want to curl then in, you can do that. It is up to you, you are the creator. You make then as you want then to be. The skirt is the peddles from several different flowers.

Enjoy, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,

Hugs, Patricia ♥ ♥ ♥

Angels of Ornaments

Every year I make each of my Doctors a Christmas card. This is for one of then. These are images from Prairie Fairy images. Arranged the images on my card stock as I wanted then. I made it to be an Easel card.  

These are all the copic markers I used to color the images.

This is one of Martha Steward punches. It is a large punch.

I did use a large Christmas ribbon for on the base and of course I added snow all over the place. Also beads. The peddles in the outer part of the flower, I used the pieces from the large Martha Steward punch and created a yellow rose to go in the middle.  

This is the close up. I added snow as you can see. The circles in the background I cut out of the ribbon and used dots to stick then on the back. I tried to use some Stickles glitter glue “Star Dust” a little here and there. I also used silver ribbon to frame the girls and I thought that worked pretty good. I hope you enjoy my card. Thanks for stopping.

Hugs, Patricia ♥ ♥ ♥
