Card For A Couple of Challenges

Hi there!  Happy Sunday!  Hope you've had a great weekend!  I finally managed to get a little organized and to finish up a few cards I had in the works.  I'm here to share one that I made for two challenges - Guylou's Inimitability Winter Wonderland Color Challenge (blue, gray and white) and the Copic Challenge #35 on Suzanne's Dean's Color Me Creative Classroom site which was to color with "frosty" cold colors.

Here is the inspiration colors for Guylou's Challenge:

And here is the inspiration photo for the CMC Challenge:

Here is my card for the two challenges:

I started with a card base of SU Baja Breeze and layered with patterned paper from the Bo Bunny Snowfall 6 x 6 pad.  My fun image is Serena on Skis from Guylou's Inimitability.  You can find her in Guylou's store here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copics (BG57, BG53, BG11, BG000, B91, C9, C7, C5, C3, C1, E11, E00, E000).  I added some white glitter to the trim on her hat, her ski suit, and the snow.  The skiing sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Paulette generously shared it as a freebie at the end of last year.  I thought it would work perfectly with Serena!  I colored it similarly to the main image.  I punched  a few snowflakes from white glitter paper and popped them up on pop-dots.  A shimmery sheer white bow finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by and having a peek.  I'll be back soon to share some other projects I've been working on.  Have a great night!

A Couple of Cards

Hi there!  Hope you're having a good weekend so far!  Things have finally calmed down a little and I was able to complete a couple of cards I was working on.   I hope I'll gradually get caught up on all my cards and on visiting your blogs.  I am getting there!

My first card is for Aud Sentiments Challenge #46 where the theme was "love".  Paulette from Create With TLC generously offered a freebie love sentiment on the Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog that we could use for our creation.  It was so cute, I decided to use it for my card.

I started with a card base of GKD Black Onyx and layered with patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two Sunshine 6x6 pad.  I used Paulette's freebie (If Love Were A Movie...) and also a couple of tickets from Create With TLC that Paulette shared as part of the February Club.  The popcorn box is from DRS Designs.  I did a little coloring with Copics and added a bit of Stickles to the salt on the popcorn.  A stitched ribbon bow finished my card.

I created a second card for the Create With TLC DT using a sentiment from a new set called Women Equal Strength which can be found in the Create With TLC store.  I thought it paired perfectly with this wonderful digi image from Robert Jackson called She's Fierce.  It can be found on Robert's site here.  I was very lucky to have won a couple of his fantastic images during my friend Chana's blog contest.

I started with a card base of GKD Black Onyx and layered with SU Pool Party and patterned paper from the Kaisercraft Chapter One 6.5 x 6.5 pad.  I colored the image with Copic markers and added some Star Dust Stickles, Glossy Accents and adhesive pearls to her outfit and shoes for a little extra detail.  A pearl and rhinestone flourish, a sheer ribbon bow and a Webster's Pages Sparkler with an added pearl finished my second card.  I'm entering this in this week's Simon Says Stamp Challenge, too.  It was "anything goes" this time.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great rest of the weekend and hope to see you again soon!

Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  My super-busy week is nearing an end and I am looking forward to things slowing down a little over the weekend so I can get back to my crafting and blogging.  Sorry I've been MIA.  I am popping in early today to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge on The Outlawz site.  It's the last week of the month so the theme is "anything goes - calendar page optional.  Just like last month, you can pick up a free calendar template for next month.  All the details and instructions for saving and printing the template can be found in the challenge thread here.

I decided to do a calendar page this month.  I am going to go back and do January, too, but here is my  calendar for February:

I printed the calendar on a half-sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock.  I thought this adorable Mo Manning image would be perfect for February.  It is called Ragged Romeo and can be found in Mo's store here.  I printed it on Cryogen White and colored it with Copic markers.  The Cupid ticket is from Create With TLC.  It was one of the goodies from the February Club.  I put it all together and my page was done.

Here is a close-up shot of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to drop by the Copic/Promarker Challenge and check out the fabulous projects from my DT sistahs!  Whether or not you choose to do a calendar page as we did, we hope you will be inspired to pick up your markers and play along with us!

Have a great day and a terrific weekend!  See you soon!

Mo's DP2 Challenge #119 - My Favorite Things

Good morning!  It's Thursday again (really?) and time for another Mo's DP2 Challenge! I've got a lot going on this week and haven't had much time for crafting, but of course, I still have my DT card for this week's Mo's challenge to share.  The theme is " your favorite things".  You can use any of your favorite things to create your card - products, theme, images - anything!

Here is my card for the challenge:

I used some of my favorites - pastel colors, Webster's Pages papers, silk ribbon, flowers and of course, one of my favorite Mo's images!  The base is SU Bashful Blue and I layered with patterned papers from the Webster's Pages Let's Celebrate Petite Papers pack.  My adorable Mo's image is Birthday Fairy Lee.  She can be found in Mo's store here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copics.  I added Crystal and Star Dust Stickles to her wings and the cupcake.  My sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A yellow May Arts silk bow and a Wild Orchid Crafts rose finished my card.

I am also entering my card in this week's Sketch Saturday #191 challenge.  Here is the sketch:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Mo's Challenge blog and check out the gorgeous creations from my amazingly talented teammates!  We hope you'll be inspired to pick out your favorite Mo's image and play along with us!

Missing You in Alabama

Good morning!  Phew!  It's been a busy week so far and it appears to be continuing!  Sorry I haven't been blogging as much this week.  I hope to catch up and visit everyone later in the week.  Right now, I have a quick post to share another card I made with Melanie Muenchinger's gorgeous Stately Flowers 2 stamp set.  I am finding so many uses for the beautiful florals and great sentiments in this set!  This time I did a simple "missing you" card.  I miss so many of my friends since I moved to Alabama!

Here is my card that Melanie posted on her blog:

I started with an A6 card base of GKD  Pure Luxury Green Apple and layered with Bubblegum Pink and patterned paper from the Basic Grey Sweet Threads collection.  I stamped the US map from Melanie's Make A State-ment set with Versamark and Memento Bamboo Leaves onto Cryogen White and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I stamped the top sentiment, also from Make A State-ment with Versamark and Angel Pink and embossed with clear EP.  The Alabama on the bottom is from Stately Flowers 2.  I added a little pearl heart over Alabama on the map.  I stamped the small camellia from Stately Flowers 2 and colored it with Copics.  It was cut out and popped up on foam tape.  A satin bow and another pink pearl heart finished my simple card.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks, Melanie, for posting another of my cards!  I hope to be around a little later on to visit your blogs!
