Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 366

Challenge 366 - Spooktacular

I'm so glad you stopped by since this will be my last 

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge as a Design Team 

member. It's been a fabulous run with a great group of

DT friends! I'm stepping down to be able to spend more

time on other projects important to me, PIP Challenges

and Crafter's Companion coloring team. I'll be joining 

in the challenges at Tuesday Throwdown as time permits.

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, Lawn Fawn!

Here's my card for this week's challenge!

I really love Lawn Fawn and this little stamp set is just too

cute!! I needed something that was Spooktacular, at the time,

the other Halloween stamps were unavailable and then I 

spotted this adorable set, Holiday Party Animal. First of all I 

stamped my racoon, three times. One I colored, with Copic 

markers, and cut out. One I just cut out to use as a mask, 

and the third went on my main card front. I stamped one

of the little pumpkins to use as a mask too. Then I let the

masking begin! I used one little pumpkin in the racoon's

hand. My sentiment came from MFP. I dotted around the

image, added some whisker dots, and some shadowing to

complete the image. I found some great pumpkin background

paper and used some black cardstock for layering.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 364

Challenge 364 - Stenciling

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, Sparkle and Sprinkle!

Here's my card for this week's challenge.

I loved the images from Sprinkle and Sparkle and

I printed the sentiment on my card front and then

used a stencil from Fun Stampers Journey and added

inks to sponge on some Fall colors. I should have come

into a bit further, I think, but I was afraid to mess it up. lol

I colored my Nuthatch and leaves using some fall colored

Copics. I fancy cut it and added some mounting tape to 

raise it up for some needed dimension.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 362

Challenge 362 - More than one fold

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, Sugar Pea Designs!

Here's my card for this week's challenge.

I love Sugar Pea Designs and this little set is one of my 

faves! This card is a Z Fold and ideal for my tin can talking

girls! I paper pieced their dresses and used Copics for all

the other coloring. I cut the girls out and ran a piece of

black twine from one to the other. I just layered some

embossed colored cardstock and completed the card.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 358

Challenge 358 - Masking

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, Freckled Fawn!

Here's my card for this week's challenge.

This such a quickie card. It took me about 10 minutes 

to make. I had cut a scallop die cut and I used the 

part, with the die cut removed, as my mask. I used daubers

to apply my inks in a random pattern. My die cut flower is 

from Penny Black and my stamped sentiment is from Fun

Stampers Journey. Add a couple of coordinating gems and 

put my card together for the finished product!

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 356

Challenge 356 - Anything Goes

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, DRS Designs!

Here's my card for this week's challenge.

This little image just made me smile! I'm always drawn

to frogs because my daughter, Amber, LOVES them. 

She will probably end up getting it! Anyway, I printed 

my image and colored it with Copic markers then cut

him out. Then it was just a matter of choosing papers

and layout. I loved the bug background papers but my

frog got lost in the pattern. So, I die cut a couple of 

ovals and used them as a back drop for the frog. After

doing that I saw a perfect spot for a few "ribbits".  I

added some clear glaze on the water to complete the card.

Challenge 352 - Tic Tac Toe

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, MyGrafico!

Here's my card for the challenge.

I really had fun making this card. First of all I flicked a 

toothbrush full of Artist Liquid Masking fluid onto a piece of 

white cardstock. Then I sponges on navy ink and a bit of 

yellow and pink. The yellow and pink don't show very much. 

After the masking fluid dried I rubbed it off, leaving the 

star-like affect. I colored the images using Copic markers

and then cut them out. I added some glaze to the helmet

and space ship windows.  

I made my own sentiments for the front and inside. 

After I cut out my images I raised the little rocket 

and space boy on the front and added a bit of waxy flax for 

the rocket cable. I put my layers together and done!

Challenge 352 - Tic Tac Toe

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, Sparkle N Sprinkle!

Here's my card for the challenge.

My choices for the Tic Tac Toe were Ribbon or Twine, 

Sparkle (glitter/bling), Gold. Gave me the diagonal WIN! 

lol I printed the images, which are lovely, and colored it 

using my Copic markers and cut it out. I ran a piece of 

white cardstock through an embossing folder and 

attached it to a piece of purple and gold cardstock. I 

made some corners our of some printed cardstock and 

raised them up using mounting tape. I added a piece 

of gold ribbon.

 I added my mounted butterfly, after adding a touch of a 

sparkle pen to it. Naturally...some gems for the 

flower centers. :-)

Challenge 350 - Monster Mash

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, Sayaki Glitter!

Here's my card for the challenge.

Isn't this little "monster" adorable??? He's just too cute!

I embossed a piece of white cardstock and raised it up 

using mounting tape. Once I printed this cute little guy,

I colored the image using Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens.

I love those pens!! It gave my creature a great effect!

All I had to do after that was match up some coordinating

cardstocks and complete my layers. I added a flower

embellishment from Fun Stampers Journey.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 346

Challenge 346 - sugar high

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, MyGrafico!

Here's my card for the challenge.

This card is actually WHITE, but my photo didn't turn out 

quite right but you can still get the idea. I printed the 

teacups on my cardstock and colored them with Copic 

markers. I printed the spoon and cut it out after I colored 

it. I added the spoon to the card using pop dots to 

raise it up for some dimension.

Challenge 344 - doodles

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, STAMPlorations!

Here's my card for the challenge.

This digital image from STAMPlorations is awesome. I 

love that the edges aren't perfectly straight. More of a 

sketch look. It seemed to be made for watercoloring. 

Ok...I'm a novice when it comes to watercoloring but I am 

hoping with more practice I will get better. On that note, I 

printed my image on watercolor paper and then used

Spectrum Noir Aqua Water-based markers and water 

to create my watercolor effect. I added some Clear Glaze

to the entire image and it looks so cool in person.

After it dried I got my layers all put together and

I added a raised sentiment from STAMPlorations,

edge with a gold leafing pen, and a pretty paper

butterfly that I added some matching ink to.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 342

Challenge 342 - doodles

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, CraftyGirl!

Here's my card for the challenge.

I used CraftyGirl's digi, "Silly Dog" and I just love this

crazy pooch! I colored him with my Copic Markers and 

cut him out. Since the challenge was "Doodles" I was at

a blank on what type of doodle would work with him and...

I came up with nothing except it seemed like a perfect 

name for the pup! LOL. I did put two small doodles by

the name on the doggie house. hehe. I used die cuts to

create the landscape, clouds and doghouse.  I put the 

house in an embossing folder to give it a woody look. 

I sponges some brown ink over it and edged the little

name plaque as well. 

I put my card together and took some

FSJ Glaze and added it to "Doodle's" tongue and eyes.

So now you know how I choose to "doodle". lol

This was the kind of card that just makes me smile.

Hope you enjoyed it too!

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 340

Challenge 340 - embossing

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, Sweet 'n Sassy!

Here's my card for the challenge.

Since I just returned from Florida...to Wisconsin...let me 

say that I am missing the warmth. This image was 

especially nice to work with. Brought back my tropical 

memories. I used daubers to sponge on my color for the 

sky, water, and sand. I then used my Copics for adding 

additional shading and coloring. Using a sparkle pen

I added a little shimmer to the water. Since I had 

printed out two of the images so I could add 

dimension to my umbrella. A little mounting tape 

and poof, dimension! 

I added the image to a pretty embossed piece of 

white cardstock for a clean looking scene!
