Yummy For Your Tummy

In The Hole

Hi again!  I'm back with a super quick post to share a card I made for a challenge that is ending any minute now, so I'll be brief.  My card is for the QKR Stampede Challenge #44 and the theme is "summer fun". I wanted to use some cute digis that I won a couple of challenges ago.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Real Red and the bright patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Surprise 6x6 pad.  I merged two digis for my cute golf scene.  I used digi15309 Golfing Bear and digi15317 Golf Flag from QKR Stampede.  I printed the merged image on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added a cloudy sky and the grass for the golf green.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I always like this one for my golfing friends.  An aqua ribbon and some flowers with pearl centers finished my card.

Little Miss Muffet Challenge #64 - Stars

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week so far!  It's been a bit crazy around here, but Of couse I had to pop by and share this week's DT post for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  We have a new challenge starting this week and the theme is "seeing stars".  I had lots of ideas for this one, but here is where I finished up:

My card base and mats are SU Basic Black and the patterned papers are from the Authentique Celebrate 6x6 pad.  My fun image is Luna Bitterfrost Stars Rock from Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.    I added some Aqua Stickles to the star on her shoes, hat bow and top. I also added a star punched from aqua glitter paper to her necklace.  I used my Silver Spica pen to add shimmer to the charms hanging from her belt.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A bunch of stars punched from glitter paper finished my card.

Life is a Beach

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  It's raining and thundering here this morning, but that's a just a good excuse to stay in and catch up on a few things.  I am popping by with a quick post to share the card I made for Coloring Challenge #2 on the Make it Crafty Facebook page.  This time it is all about coloring backgrounds and like the last challenge, there are three levels to enter - Easy: a colored background; Medium: sky with clouds; Hard: sunset with clouds.  Being the glutton for punishment that I am, I went with the hard challenge.

Here is what I came up with:

I created a simple card base with SU Ruby Red and patterned paper from the Echo Park Paradise Beach 6x6 pad.  My beach image is a digi that is aptly called The Beach from Make it Crafty.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored the scene with my Copics.    I added a bit of Antique Linen and Tarnished Brass Distress Stickles to the sand on the beach and island for some extra texture.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  the only embellishments were a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.  I wanted my colored image to be the main focal point.

Here are the Copic colors I used:

Sky: R14, YR09, YR04, Y35, YR21, YR02, YR30, V00, V01, V06 V20, B60, B000, B91, B93, B95, BV20, BV25

Sea: BG000, BG10, BG11, BG72

Sand and island: E30, E31, E33, E35

Shells and starfish: E93, E95

Palm trees: E25, G20, G21, G24, G28, YG97, YG01

OK, that's it for me for now.  Thanks for stopping by!  I am slowly making my way through your blogs, so I hope to be by to visit soon.

Here is my card:

Fairy Tales Do Come True

Hi there!  It's me again with a second post today.  Crazy, I know, but I've had a bit of "waiting around" time the last couple of days, so I've had a chance to finish coloring some images and making them into cards. This is another for a few challenges I like doing when I can find the time.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Not Quite Navy and the patterned papers are from the FabScraps Blue Heron collection.  The gorgeous image is Lovely from Saturated Canary.  You can find her in Krista's store here.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Turquoise and Star Dust Stickles to the turquoise parts of her dress to make them shimmer.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I added a triple-loop taffeta bow and a little metal dragonfly charm.  Some Wild Orchid Crafts roses and a spray of purple crystals finished my card.

Happy Birthday To You

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  There is such a thing, right?  Hope you had a good weekend and your week is off to a great start!  I managed to take a few moments in my craft room this morning to finish up a card I was working on this weekend.  It's for a few challenges I enjoy doing.

Here it is:

My card base and mats are GKD Turquoise Sea and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Kate & Co. Cambridge Court 6x6 pad.  I have to say these are some of my favorite papers at the moment.  I love the colors and patterns!  The adorable image is Li'l Lynda's Piano Forte from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it all with my Copics.  I added some Stickles to the lace on her dress and petticoat and added lots of pearl accents with my Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen.  I did some machine-stitching around all the panels.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A bunch of Wild Orchid Crafts roses, a pearl spray and a pearl swirl finished my card.

Little Miss Muffet - Sunday Spotlight

Good morning!  Happy Sunday and Happy Father's Day to all those honoring Dads today!  The weather has been beautiful this weekend and today looks to be the same.  Anyway, I am here early to share my card for another new feature on the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog.  Today starts our Sunday Spotlights.  Each week, Barbara will select a stamp and some of the DT will create inspiration projects using that stamp and share them on the blog.  Not only that, the spotlighted stamp will be available at a discount in the Little Miss Muffet store.  Fun, right?

This week's spotlighted stamp is Cupcake Surprise.  Here is my creation with it:

My card base and mats are SU Tempting Turquoise and the patterned paper is from a dimensional, blinged-up sheet from Recollections.  I thought it went perfectly with my Cupcake Surprise stamp!  I colored it with my Copics and cut it out, along with the mat, using my Cameo.  I added some Star Dust Stickles to her blouse and Yellow and Aqua Stickles to the sprinkles on the cupcake.  I created a layered pennant using the Layered Party Banner from Little Miss Muffet.  The layers were cut out of glittter cardstock.  I cut out the sentiment with my Cameo, too.  I finished up the whole thing by adding a few more gems to the sentiment and pennant.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and check out the fantastic creations from the team, then hurry over and pick up your own Cupcake Surprise in the Little Miss Muffet store at today's special price.

Super Dad

Hi again!  Are you sick of me yet?  I never dreamed I would have time to create another card this week, but I had some contractors in and I used the down time to do some coloring.  I made a card for a bunch of the Father's Day/masculine challenges out there right now.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Marina Mist and my patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Surprise 6x6 pad.  The fun image is Super Hero by Kenny K. for Whimsy Stamps.  I was lucky enough to have won this stamp awhile back.  I stamped it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I cut out the image and the black mat with my Cameo.  I also cut the sentiment with my Cameo using a cut file from the Silhouette store.  A few red gems from my stash finished my card.
