PIP Challenge 2513

 This week's PIP Challenge is a 5th Monday

and the THEME is RAIN.

It's sponsored by

PIP Challenges!

The prize will be a $10 Gift Certificate from

Scrapbook.com

YAY!!

Here's my card following the Theme:

RAIN

Using Newtons Nook Newtons Rainy Day

April showers bring May flowers, right?

I'm counting on that since I'm leaving

Florida tomorrow to head back chilly

Wisconsin. I used a rain drop stencil with

some blue inks. I stamped my kitty and

frog. Kitty was colored with Copic markers. 

I stamped the kitty and frog again on my 

green dot pattern paper. The frog's belly

needed a touch of pink though. The 

umbrella was paper pieced with the 

dotted pattern paper. I added the 

sentiments and then raised up the critters.

😀

Here is my card 

                                        Here's a fun birthday card for a friend,

in WI, from me in FL. They are still getting

snow. hehe... As always, Newton's Nook has 

always the right stamps, die cuts, and 

great stencils. I used Sunscape Stencil, Gull

Friend (retired), and a Palm Tree set (retired).

Copics were used to color the gulls. 

I used blending brushes to apply 

my inks to the Sunscape stencil. The image

was die cut and raised up with mounting

tape for a tad bit of dimension. 

I love all my goodies from Newton's Nook.

PIP Challenge 2511

Welcome! 

Time to join in the challenge with 

Polkadoodles as this week's sponsor!! 

YAY!

We REALLY appreciate our sponsors!

Here are my cards for this week's challenge

using "Iceman Snowman"

   using "Happy Easter Chick"

Be sure to visit Polkadoodles! They have 

so much to choose from, for all your 

creating fun!!!

For my icy snowman card I printed a winter

scene digital paper. After I printed out my

snowy guy he was colored with Copic 

markers. The image was fussy cut out and

I raised the image up with mounting tape.

The layers were created to match the 

background and a crystal Stickle was used

to highlight the ice and snow. 

My grandson was the one to get this 

card. I miss him since I've been 

in FL since Jan. 1st, not 

home until April 3. He does get lots of

goody gifts from me, and Grandpa.

For the Easter chick card, which my grandson

will also receive, I found a great background

paper. Not sure if it was digital or actual. 

LOL! The cute image was colored with

TriBlend markers, with a few ink dashed

corners. Easy peasy!!

Here's my card for inspiration.

using "Football, Soccer Boy"

I had fun with this little guy. I made 

the card for my sweet nephew who is 

a soccer player. I added his number,

27, and used his colors and the striping

to match his uniform. I printed the image

and used a die cut rectangle to cut it out.

Using my Copic markers I colored him.

A white gel pen added the number to the

shorts and streaks in his hair. I stamped

a Happy Birthday and used another

die cut to finish it out. Just a bit of

layering and coordinating papers were

enough to complete the card.

PIP Challenge 2508

Here's a brand new challenge that is 

sponsored by PIP Challenges, offering

a $10 Gift Certificate from MFT.

Being in Florida for the next 3 months 

gives me more time just to create. It's been cool 

so far so it's ideal for getting in my 

comfy clothes and getting inky! Soooo, here's 

my card, that I will send to my sweet 

5 year old grandson back in Wisconsin. 

I miss that little buddy!

Here's my card...

I had fun making this card, beginning with

a random stencil and MFT Inks to apply.

I colored the sweet images with my Copics.

I paper pieced my little guy's jacket with the

Rainbow Plaid pattern paper. I also used 

it as a background accent. Mounting tape 

was used to raise up my boy and the sweet 

little squirrel for some added dimension. 

I couldn't find the set to link

to on MFT but they have lots of goodies!

sharp, clean lines. I colored the image

with my TriBlend markers, adding a bit

of white gel pen to the petals. It was such

 A brand new challenge over at PIP Challenges.

This week's sponsor is 

SheepSki Designs

If you haven't checked out SheepSki Designs

new blog site, be sure to go now! It's really good!

Here's my card using Wild Rose Heart

I loved this image and it was perfect 

for my niece's birthday on Valentine's

Day. Purple is the amethyst birth stone

color. I used my TriBlend markers to 

color this. The sentiment was from 

another stamp company but ended up

being a perfect addition for this card.

I made some coordinating layers and

used a white gel pen for some dots on 

pretty heart. Be sure to go and visit

Sheepski Designs. There so many awesome

digital images! So much fun and so very

reasonable too! PIP appreciates the support!

Another Challenge Entry

 It's fun being able to have time to join

in some of the challenges! MFT is just

one of my favorite shops so I am glad to

participate in the current Color challenge.

Here's my card...

This color challenge was fun for me 

because I love these colors. LOL! I am

sending this card to a stamping friend.

I used MFT paper and the stamp set

JB Crafty Friends. Images were colored

with TriBlend and Copic markers.

A white gel pen added a few extra

touches and mounting tape to lift the

cute images up for dimension. I made

a banner for the sentiment to complete

the card. Thanks for stopping by.

Here's my project 

using "Simply Celebrate Critters"

and "Get Well Soon"

I used quite a variety of sets to create

this card and that just goes to show that

I own plenty of Lawn Fawn goodies...

basically I own LOTS of goodies in 

general! LOL! A random stencil was 

used to make my wall, using a gray ink.

I stamped and die cut my images and

colored them using my Copics. The 

"just a note" sentiment came from...

somewhere. Wish I could remember. 😣

The card was super easy and it got sent

to a friend that needed a lift. Be sure

to go shopping at Lawn Fawn because

they've got it all to meet your needs.

A Challenge Card for Me...finally

 It's been forever since I've found time to

actually enter a challenge. Generally I'm too

busy trying to keep the PIP Challenges 

running smoothly and sometimes that's 

an issue for me. LOL! Anyway, on that note,

here's my card for the current 

MFT Sketch Challenge MFTWSC02

Since I'm in Florida for 3 months I'm

missing my 5 1/2 year old grandson and

this card is going to him. I used the 

MFT Pig Time Fun set, that I am guessing

it must be retired. I had fun creating this

piggy card. I used MFT Sand, Surf, & Sky

pattern paper pad. I colored the images

with my Copic markers and began to 

assemble the card to match the sketch...

sort of. lol. I raised up the sentiment

banner, the sea gulls and one cloud for

the added dimension I like. 

I am also entering this card in the 

Crafty Catz 686 AG

Word Art Wednesday 685-686

They've added plenty as well! 

Here's my card for the challenge...

I used "Bee Happy"

I needed a birthday card for a friend and

what could BEE happBEEer than this

stamp set! I stamped my images on 

 white squares and colored them with

Copic markers. I used a fine black pen

to add some dashes around the borders.

A few coordinating layers and some

sparkle to the Bee's wings to complete

the card after raising up a few bees.

your entries in the Current Challenge.
