PIP Challenge 2030

PIP Challenge  2030

There is no official sponsor for this week's
challenge but PIP will be offering the winner a 
$5 Gift Certificate from
Mo's Digital Pencil
Here's my card for this week!
Mo Manning is such an amazing artist it's 
a joy to get her images. Since I stay in Florida
for the winter, on the east coast, I am always
drawn to beach images and this cutie caught
my eye right away. She's colored with Copics
and SN TriBlend markers. The sentiment is
Newton's Nook...I think. lol I tend to like
CAS when I love the image and want to
showcase that. So...CAS it is. 

Stay healthy and safe and enjoy

Polkadoodles
Be sure to pop over and see all the 
fabulous digis, stamps and 
supplies that they have!  
Go check them out now!
We REALLY appreciate them!
Here's my project!
Here's another slider card. For some reason
when I have things of transportation I am
drawn to slider cards. lol. This card is made 
for a friend's birthday. Before my knees got
bad we use to ride all the time. My friend,
in her mid 70s or more still rides every weekend
in the summer. Endurance rides for 100s of
miles each year. Even a national champ. 
ANYWAY...lol...I found the perfect image 
at Polkadoodles and colored it with Spectrum
Noir TriBlend markers. The background
paper seemed ideal for this image. I punched
a slot and put mounting tape on the back,
to create a guide for the ribbon and raise the
front up. I double mounted the image and
attached it to the ribbon for action.

Here's my card!
I made two cards using Vellum. I stamped 
(stamp butterfly from Sweet 'n Sassy) 
both pieces of vellum with a VersaMark
pad and white embossed them. I colored
them, on the backside, using Copic markers.
A square die cut was used for the one card,
and the second I cut out two panels. I then
used an embossing folder on them. I 
attached my vellum pieces to the back of
each embossed piece and added them to
the card front with mounting tape. Very
simple card with a great effect.

challenge but PIP will be offering the winner a 
$10 Gift Certificate from
Unity Stamps

Here's my card for this week!
The stamps are from Unity Stamp sets
The Perfect Two (images) and Bee
Supportive (sentiment). Unity has so many
fun and lovely stamps. I stamped the images
and colored them with Copics. I fussy cut
the bee and used SN Clear Sparkle pen for
the wings.
I used a MFT frame die cut, some
mounting tape and a great background 
paper to layout my card. A little banner for 
the sentiment and done. I made the card
for friends of ours celebrating their 25th
anniversary on Tuesday, July 7th! 

Stay healthy and safe and enjoy
