Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  I sure am looking forward to the long weekend!  Our temps have taken a nose dive here, so it's going to be a chilly one.  That's OK, though.  I've got lots to do inside.  Right now, I'm here to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge on The Outlawz site.  We have a color challenge this week - blue, aqua, turquoise and sand - with an optional theme of seaside/coastal.   I know I'm dreaming of a warm, sunny beach somewhere right about now - lol!

Here is my card:

I tried to incorporate all the colors and the theme, too.  I started with a card base of SU Blue Bayou and layered with patterned papers from the Bo Bunny Paradise collection.  I merged a few Mo Manning images from Beach Elements 1 and Little Umbrella.  You can find them both in Mo's store here.  I printed the merged image on Cryogen White Iridescent and colored all but the sky with Copics markers.  I sponged the cloudy sky with Memento Summer Sky.  I added some Stickles to the waves, her sandals and her drink.  I added Glossy Accents to the water bottles near her beach bag and her glasses.  A bit of wide lace, that looked a little like fish netting to me, finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/Promarker Challenge and check out the fabulous creations from my awesome DT sistahs and our very talented January GD, Linda.  We hope you'll be inspired to play along with us this week.  As always, there are some great prizes up for grabs when you enter the challenges at The Outlawz!

Have a great day and see you later on tonight for another StampTV Center Stage Alumni Blog Hop!

Mo's DP2 Challenge #117 - Clean & Simple

Good morning!  It's Thursday and time for another Mo's Challenge!  We've got a really fun one for you this week!  The theme is "clean & simple".  Not a style I use that often, but that's what makes it a challenge, yes? 

Here is my card:

I started with a card base of GKD Heavy Base Weight White cardstock. I embossed a layer of GKD Layering Weight White with the SU Tulip Frame embossing folder and added it to the card base.  My Mo's image is called Married.  It can be found in Mo's new store here.  I printed it on Cryogen White and colored it with Copics.  I added a bit of Star Dust Stickles to her dress, veil and shoes then matted the image with some iridescent blue cardstock from my stash.  A triple-loop bow of satin-rimmed white organza and a Webster's Pages Sparkler finished my CAS card.

My card is also for this week's Paper Player's Challenge #77, where the theme was - "all you need is love".

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to head on over to the Mo's DP2 Challenge blog and check out the always amazing creations from the rest of the DT!  After that, why not grab your favorite Mo's image and play along with us?  We look forward to seeing your fabulous creations!

Retro Birthday

Good morning!  We are to the middle of the week already!  So far it's been pretty busy!  It's been raining cats and dogs here most of the time since Sunday.  We had some thunderstorms and even a little hail last night!  Luckily I have lots to do indoors today.  Before I get to it, I'm here to share a project I did that fits a couple of challenges I like to do.  First it is for Copic Challenge #34 on Suzanne Dean's Color Me Creative Classroom site.  The theme this time is "retro" and we are to use hot pinks, black and white for our coloring.  It is also for the second challenge at the new Crafter's Cafe Challenge blog (happy birthday theme).

Here is the inspiration photo for the CMC Copic Challenge:

Here is my project for the challenges:

I altered a gift bag for a friend's upcoming birthday.  The bag had the challenge colors already.  How good was that?  My retro image is a digi called Monique from Guylou's Inimitability. I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copics.  I added a bit of Gunmetal Stickles to the lace on her dress and her shoes. She was cut out with Spellbinders Classic Circles and matted with GKD Passionate Pink CS cut with Spellbinders Scallop Circle Nesties.  The circle sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the Life Encircled set which is new in the Create With TLC store here.  I colored the cake with Copics and added some more Stickles to make it sparkly.   The "Happy" on the image panel is from the SU set, Warmest Regards.

Here is a close-up of just the images:

That's it for now.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a good day and hope to see you soon!

Another Challenge Card

Good morning!  How's your week going so far?  It's been raining here since Sunday, so although it's pretty warm, it's not very conducive to being outside, that's for sure.  Before I head out anyway, I'm here to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I like to do.  It's for The Paper Shelter Challenge #45 (anything goes), Crafty Emma's Store Challenge #67 (anything goes) and Sketch Saturday #189.

Here is SS-189:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of SU Rich Razzleberry and layered with patterned papers from the Prima Melody 6x6 pad.  My sweet image is Spring Swing from The Paper Shelter.  She can be found in the store here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copic markers.  My sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It was a freebie on the Create With TLC blog awhile back.  A satin bow and some pink adhesive rhinestones finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day and hope to see you soon.

Another Challenge Card

Good morning!  Can it be Monday again already?  Where did the weekend go?  I hope you had a good one.  I'm here early this morning to share a card I made for a few more challenges I like to do.  This one is for the Just Us Girls Challenge #118 (a sketch challenge), the current B 'n W Challenge (use warm earth colors) and the Simon Says Stamp Challenge (use something new).

Here is the JUGS sketch:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of SU Bravo Burgundy and layered with patterned papers from the Bo Bunny Forever Fall 6x6 pad.  My "something new" is my new Belles 'n Whistles stamp, A Pen Friend.  It can be found at the Simon Says Stamp store here.  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White and colored her with Copics.  I framed the image with a diecut made with my Cheery Lynn Polynesian Sails Oval die.   A triple-loop bow of dyed seam binding and a Prima rose finished my card.

Thanks for visiting!  Have a great day and I'll see you soon!
