Little Miss Muffet Challenge #74 - White All Night

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a great week so far!  I've been very busy this week.  I don't know why it sometimes happens that everything gets scheduled at once!  Anyway, here we are to Thursday again and it's time for a new challenge on the Little Miss Muffet blog!  The theme this time is "it'll be all white on that night".  We want to see all white on your card except for the image, which can be colored.  This was a hard one for me!  You know I love my patterned papers and the thought of all that white space caused me the biggest mental block evah!

Here is my card:

I used a snowflake embossing folder for the first white background and added a white scalloped border cut with my Cheery Lynn Border Carnivale die to the middle panel.  The image is Clover Snowclouds by Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored it with my Copics and added some Stickles and Liquid Pearls to the snowflakes.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A cut out a white star with my Cameo and spritzed it with Pearl Glimmer Mist.  I didn't add any other embellishments, just kept it simple.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Dance in the Rain

Hi again!  I'm back with a second post today.  It's a miracle, I know.  I started feeling a little better this afternoon, so I went into the craft room and got a card done that I now want to share.  It's for a few challenges that I will name at the bottom of my post.

Here it is:

My circle easel card base and mats are SU More Mustard and the pretty fall-colored papers are from the Basic Grey Clippings (patchwork backgrounds), Black Tie, Oxford and Stella Ruby collections.   The adorable image is Sweet Oklahoma from Saturated Canary.  You can find her in Krista's store here.  I colored her skin, hair and bow with my Copics and paper-pieced the rest of the image.  The sentiment is a Friday Freebie from Sharon's A Piece of Heart blog.  You can see a close-up below.  A triple-loop bow of mustard grosgrain and a bunch of coordinated Basic Grey buttons finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored and paper-pieced image:

Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday and Friday, the 13th, at that! At last the weekend is nearly here!  What a busy week it's been!  I'm hoping for a quiet weekend with some time in my craft room, but we'll see.  Before that, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this time is "chocolate", in honor of International Chocolate Day.   Who doesn't love chocolate?

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Dark Bown and the patterned papers are from the Basic Grey Bittersweet collection.  Remember that one?  It was awhile back when that came out, but I still had some hoarded.  The main image was created by merging lots of little chocolates from the Tea Party Food Combo set from Little Miss Muffet Stamps with a tray to hold them.  The tray is from the Tea Party Dishes and Trays set.  I printed the merged image onto MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Perfect, right?  I finished up my card with a simple Pink Pirouette twill bow.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Alcohol Markers Challenge and check out the mouth-watering chocolate creations from the rest of the DT!  We hope you will play along this week!   We've got a fantastic sponsor for the September Challenges.  Digistamps 4 Joy are sponsoring and they are offering the randomly-selected winner of this month's challenges five digis of their choice from the DS4J shop!  There are also lots of monthly site-wide prizes to be won when you enter the challenges at The Outlawz!

Fun in the Sun

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!  How has your week been so far?  Good, I hope!  The storms yesterday have made today a steam bath!  It's so hot and humid!  I can't complain, though, because although we are way over our normal rainfall, at least there hasn't been the awful flooding that others in the country are experiencing.  I had some contractors in again today, so while they worked, I went to my craft room and made a card for a few challenges I enjoy.

Here is what I made:

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park A Perfect Summer 6x6 pad.  I used two fun images from Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps: Swings 'n Slides Ice Cream Cart and Ice Cream Bench.  I colored them both with my Copics.  I cut them out with my Cameo and layered them on foam tape.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.   With the papers and images, it was busy enough, so I didn't add any more embellishments.

Here is a close-up of the images:

Thanks for stopping by!  If I haven't visited you already, I'll be by soon!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Pollycraft Challenge #4 (fun in the sun)
Sketch Saturday #270 (sketch)

QKR Stampede #50 (summer fun)

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Real Red and the patterned papers are from the October Afternoon Sidewalks 8x8 pad.  I used both puppies from the Puppy Additions set and I paired them with the adorable, My Ride from Pollycraft for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I colored them all with my Copics and I added a cloudy sky and some grass to the background.  There is a bit of Glossy Accents on his glasses.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some yellow gingham ribbon and a polka-dot flower finished my card.

Copic/ProMarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good afternoon!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a great week and you have fun plans for the upcoming weekend!  I am late posting today because I have had major computer problems.  It seems some nasty malware snuck onto my computer and I've spent all day scanning, restoring and updating.  I think it's better now, but I am definitely going to keep an eye on everything for awhile. Not a fun way to spend the day! Anyway, I'm here to post my DT card for this week's Copic/ProMarker Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week is "May flowers".  You can interpret this as you wish, but you must have coloring with alcohol markers (any brand) on your project.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Kate & Co. Cambridge Court 6x6 pad.  I used some Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight diecuts to frame the bottom DP panel and the main image.  The sweet image is Bella Sole Love Letters by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps.  I stamped her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added in a cloudy sky and some grass, also done with Copics.  I added tiny pearl accents to her dress, the flowers and the corners of the diecuts using my Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen. The sentiment is computer-generated.  A cluster of Wild Orchid Crafts roses and two sprays of pearl beads finished my card.

Here is a close up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/ProMarker Challenge and check out the gorgeous floral creations from the rest of the DT.  We hope you will play along!  The May challenges are being sponsored by 2 Cute Ink.  One randomly-selected participant in the challenges will win 3 digistamps of their choice from the 2 Cute Ink shop.

613 Avenue Create - Guest Designer

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  Hope you're having a nice weekend so far!  We might get some rain this morning, but yesterday was a delightful Spring day with warm temperatures and bright sunshine! Love it!  I'm popping in to share this week's Guest Designer card for the 613 Avenue Create challenge blog. Sorry for being a little late with my post. It wasn't Blogger's fault this time. I forgot to pre-schedule my post, so it was sitting in my drafts.  The theme for this week's challenge is "anything goes" with an optional sketch to follow.  The sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps and I was generously provided with a cute digi for making my card.

Here is the sketch:

Here is my take:

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Tangerine 6x6 pad.   The cute image is BBrat Big Bow Sitter from Bugaboo Stamps. I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I gave another try at the clouds and grass.  Hopefully they will get better every time I try.   The banners were cut from the patterned paper and the sentiment is from Create With TLC.

I added Diamond Stickles to the lacy edge of both skirts and her gloves.  The sentiment is from the Friends Are Your Umbrella set from Create With TLC.  You can find the set in Paulette's store here.  I cut out a little umbrella with my Cameo and added a bunch of little raindrops that I cut out of aqua glitter paper.  Three Wild Orchid Crafts Sweetheart Blossoms finished my card.

Copic/ProMarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi again!  Happy (almost) Friday!  Have you had a good week?  Hope so, and hope you have fun plans for the weekend.  We are expecting snow flurries in my neck of the woods and may I say, I am not thrilled with the idea of snow in March in AL.  I am anxious for the real spring to step up to the plate.  Not this 45 degrees one day and 65 the next.   Anyway, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Copic/ProMarker Challenge at The Outlawz site.  It's our first challenge of March and the theme is "pets".  Anything to do with animals is fine, but you must have some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand) on your project.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Turquoise Sea and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park Everyday Eclectic 6x6 pad.  The cute image is Designing Dreams by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD.  I stamped it on Make it Colour Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with my Copics.  I cut out and popped up the two parts of the image (girl and kitty) separately on foam tape.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A simple paper doily finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/Pro/Marker Challenge and check out the adorable creations from the rest of the DT.  We hope you will play along with our pet/animal challenge!  There are always fabulous prizes to be won when you enter the challenges at The Outlawz!
