Guest Designer - Our Creative Corner Challenge

Good morning!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  Mine is off to an early start - well, really, I hope I am still sleeping when this posts!  I am so excited because I was invited to be Guest Designer at Our Creative Corner this week!  Anita is the hostess and the theme is "spring break vacation destination".  Here is what Anita had to say about the challenge: "Spring has sprung yet again!  It's time to take that annual well-deserved vacation.  Where would your postcard come from?  Make whatever you like and show us your "spring break vacation destination".  What a fun challenge!

Here is my card for the challenge:

Obviously, I chose Paris as my destination.  I'd love to be vacationing in a quaint B&B near the Eiffel Tower! I started with a card base of SU Bordering Blue and layered with patterned paper from the Prima Le Romantique 8x8 pad.  For my Paris scene, I merged three digi images: French Cottage and Eiffel Tower Digi Stamps from Make it Crafty and Sophia from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. They were all part of the special Paris release from Three Companies Team Up. I printed the merged image on Cryogen White and colored the scene with Copic markers.  I added some Glossy Accents to the windows and a bit of Summer Flower Soft to the foliage for a spot of color.  A diecut from Spellbinders Parisian Accents and a double-loop satin bow finished off my vacation "postcard".  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Our Creative Corner Challenge blog and check out the gorgeous creations from the amazingly-talented DT!  I'm sure they would love it you played along!

Have a great weekend and hope to see you soon!

Our Creative Corner Challenge - Fabulous Faces

Good morning!  I hope your weekend is off to a great start!  It has been quite chilly here over the last few days but still nice enough to get out and enjoy the fall sunshine!  Before I do that, I am popping in to share the card I made for this week's challenge at Our Creative Corner!  I am super excited because I was asked to be Guest Designer this week!  Marjie is the hostess this week and the theme is "fabulous faces".

Here is my card:

I decided to do a collage of faces.  I started with a card base of SU River Rock and layered with papers from the Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden collection.  I stamped the faces with SU Soft Suede onto Cryogen White and sponged with Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Antique Linen, Crushed Olive, Tattered Rose and Tea Dye).  The faces are from Rubber Stampede (Woman in Repose), SU (Days Gone By) and part of a vintage stamp from Crafty Individuals. I stitched these to the patterned paper.  I used my Copic airbrush system to lightly color a few white roses from my stash.  Some Spring Moss seam binding from My Craft Spot and a Webster's Pages Sparkler finished my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Our Creative Corner blog and see all the gorgeous creations from the DT!  I am sure you will feel inspired to play along!

Have a great day!
