Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 330

Challenge 330 - say it with Words

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, Winnie and Walter!

Here's my card for the challenge.

I really love my Winner and Walter stamps and die cuts 

so deciding what I wanted to do was relatively simple. 

Since "saying it with words" was the theme this week,

and since there seems to be so much political outrage 

in American, I figured KINDNESS is what's needed! So,

here it is. It "blooms in even the harshest of climate.

Perfect! I colored my cacti, or cactuses, using my Copic

markers and added some sequin flowers for the "bloom" effect. 

I tore my kraft colored cardstock and sponged some brown on

the edges. The top piece is raised using mounting tape. I 

sponged the sun using a bright yellow and a dauber. 

The card was completed after a few simple layers.

Here's my card

I made 12 of this card, different little critters, all from 

Fun Stampers Journey for my daughter, Amber. She

is sending them to children at a local Children's Hospital.

I can't remember what stamps the tree and the sentiment

are from...what can I say? I'm on vacation in Florida and

I seem to have left my brain at home. I colored the

images using my Copics and raised the fox for 

dimension. A very simple card but I am sure the kids

will enjoy receiving them! Thanks for stopping by and

Here's my card for the challenge!

Sometimes I find some images just too cute for words,
and these little Flamingos are CUTE!! First I colored
them with my Copic markers and then tried to think
what to do next...hmmm...if I could only find just the
right pattern cardstock...DONE! Then I thought it
needed something, some kind of "pop". Ok, ribbon.
Ribbon is good, but it still needed something, so I 
found an embellishment with just the perfect colors.
Ah, there, done...no, wait, it still needs something,
so I found a fun sentiment from Paper Smooches
that made me smile with these winter Flamingos and
no, I wasn't finished yet. EYES! They needed googly
eyes!! I think those eyes completed this fun card!

"Celebrate" 
so let's do that!!
Head over and join in the fun NOW!

Here's my card for the challenge!

I loved this image but the balloon kind of scared me since
I generally mess them up. lol.. This balloon didn't 
disappoint me. I think my Copic markers worked a bit
of magic. Of course the FSJ Glaze helped it look more
real! I used a glossy piece of red cardstock to accent the
shine of the balloon. A tiny tag "celebrate" added to the
balloon string and a pretty bow finished this card.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 326

Challenge 326 - my favorite medium

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps!

Here's my card for the challenge.

My favorite medium always seems to be Copic Markers.

They are so versatile and easy to work with. Coloring

this cute (?) couple, from Bugaboo Stamps, was fun.

Yep, this will be my anniversary card in August (If I can

remember where I save it! LOL) Good thing I married

a man with a wonderful sense of humor! hehe. Sadly,

they even look like us, sort of. I'm blonde and my man

is bald. We're quite a pair...for the past 44 years. 

Mainly, for this card, I colored the image and added

the layers, including one embossed layer, and raised

up the sentiment. I added some glaze to their glasses

and that was the finishing touch.

Here's my card for the challenge!

Bugaboo Images are so cute and fun to color and this was no
exception. Again, my card is multiple layers with the main
image colored with my Copic markers. I added a bit of my 
sparkle pen to the wings of the dragonfly and I used my FSJ 
Glaze on the "U Rock" to make it POP! 

I had a couple of flowers that matched perfectly so they 
needed to be added. It was a simple card and I think
it turned out ok. You have to love Bugaboo Stamps. 
They are just so cute!

Here's my card for the challenge!

This card disappointed me. I do not feel I did this 
adorable image justice. Sometimes I just can't seem
to get going. I could certainly tell you what I DON'T 
like about this card...beginning with my color choices
but...let's move on! LOL! There isn't much to explain
on how I made this card. Copics were used (and not 
very well) to color my mouse image. I think I need 
to practice coloring this image more to do it justice.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 324 - Winter Critters

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New

Year holiday. I know I did. Each day is a gift and filled

with God's unlimited blessings! What joy! 

Now for the challenge FUN from Tuesday Throwdown

and our awesome sponsor, Kitty Bee Designs!

Here's my card for the challenge.

I really enjoyed these two adorable "winter critters" and

found coloring them with my Copic markers was super 

easy.  I fussy cut them out and raised one up for POP! 

My snowy embossed red cardstock was sprayed

with sparkle spray to give it a wonderful shimmer. I die

cut a few snow flakes (raising one using a pop dot) 

and a swirl for a snowy effect. The critters are actually 

holding snowballs, I think, but I wanted them to look 

like bells or ornaments so I used a gold sparkle pen and 

a glaze to make them pop. 

Adding the gems was the final touch and then putting 

together my layers to finish the card.

Here's my card for the challenge!

I loved coloring this image! I will say it was a bit of a
challenge for me but it turned out nice...I think? lol
I started coloring the image using Pan Pastels but it
was a bit bland so I had to use Copics to bring up the
color POP! Some layering and a twine bow and pearl
completed the card!!  Remember ANYTHING GOES

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 322

Tuesday Throwdown
Challenge 322

-Baking-

Here's my card for the challenge!

First of all, let me say, I LOVE this little Gingerbread
gal! I printed two of these digis so I could cut out an
extra bow for my cute ginger gal. I picked out my
papers first so I could decide how to color the image. 
Sometimes I do things really weird when I'm creating.

I colored the image with Copics. I added sparkle pens 
to the white on the gingerbread gal and my little dots 
on the cardstock. I colored the extra bow, making a 
checked design. I added a pop dot to the back to raise it 
up for added dimension. 

I die cut her into a circle before adding the bow so it

would overlap the green part of the circles. I added

some funky Christmas twine, popping up my sentiment

on top of the twine. I made a twine bow and glued

it down to complete the card.

CYP Challenge 341

Craft Your Passion Challenge 341

always

Anything Goes!!

Here's my card for CYP Challenge 341

I decided I needed to do a Pop-Up card with this

adorable digi image from Crafty Sentiments Designs.

I cut my main card, the long way...4 1/4 x 11. I 

folded it in half and cut a "wave" about 1/2 way down 

the front, to make a snowy hill appearance. I colored

my snowman using Copics...I made the bird a Cardinal. 

Then I fussy cut the image out and that certainly

took a bit of time. lol. Boy, I love die cuts...when available.

I used a tree stamp from A*muse Studios to create my

woodsy background. I stamped, and stamped off, 

many times. I used a sponge to fill in the greens and 

 sponged some colors to the sky, as well, but it didn't 

show up in the photos decent. Oh well. After my

image was cut out 

I made the pop-up piece. I took a strip of cardstock

cut about 2" by 3/4" and folded it in quarters, making

a square. (Similar to the pic) I attached the square, on 

the fold and top of my card. attached my snowman to

the front of the pop-up square accordingly. I used Stickles 

to add the sparkly snow to the trees, snowman and the hills. 

The sentiment was added to the front using mounting tape.

Boom, done!

Here's a big THANK YOU to this week's sponsor!
