Now my card for Day 3

This was a fun card to create. I found my cute little turkey

and decided that I needed to paper piece him. I did color

his hat, feet and beak area with Copics. I cut him out and

set him aside until I made my hills, sponging the edges 

with brown ink. I was trying to decide what to do 

with the sky when I found the leafy designer paper. 

I thought that the sky around my house looks like that 

a lot in the Fall. :-) I used a word bubble die cut for the 

Thankful sentiment and added the main sentiment right 

to the "hill". lol THANKS for stopping by! 

I used the stamp set I Am Thankful from MFP.

Enjoy the Hop. Come back each day to be

Now my card for Day 2

Any card that requires my coloring "skills", and I use

that term loosely, it takes me lots of time. This rose

was no exception. I fussy cut it out and raised it up

on my pink checked designer paper, after I added

my sparkly green (yes, it's green) ribbon. I just

added my sentiment to the lower corner and that was it!

I used the stamp set ROSES from MFP.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 317

Tuesday Throwdown
Challenge 317

-Add a Border-

Here's my card for the challenge!

Our sponsor, Conie Fong Art has some super cute 
images. Be sure to go visit them and check them all out.
I picked "Joy To The World" to create my card. 
I just wasn't sure what border, or type of border 
I wanted to use with this cute little penguin. I finally
settled on leafy vine border adding a couple of 
poinsettias in the corner. I colored my little icy 
friend with Copics and embossed the main white
piece of cardstock. The rest was all just different
layers of cardstock. I added a dotted edge/border
around the penguin. I used a sparkle pen to bling
up the snow, furry hat trim and the "JOY". 

Thanks for stopping by and consider "following" my

My card was obviously a very simple one but
I really like how it turned out. I stamped the 
sentiment 3 times, in different colors, stamping
off once each. Then, the main image stamped in 
black. A bit of layering and done. 
I used the stamp set Autumn Glory 
and Classic Dad by MFP.

***COLOR***

Here's my sample card as a design team member 
for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head 
on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

I rummaged through my paper drawer and found colors
that matched, pretty closely, the colors for the challenge.
Then I needed an idea...ummm...so, I checked through
my die cuts to see what I could use and I found this sun
burst, but then what??? I managed to get my layers set
and then I struggled some more. sigh...Finally after 
going through my MFP stamps I saw the sentiment and
thought, "this will work"...somehow. I found a butterfly
and used Stampin'Up markers to apply ink directly to
the stamp and then I "huffed" a bit of moisture to the 
stamp and ink and STAMPED! 

I like the watercolor look and the soft colors. I added

it to my card using a bit of mounting tape and 

rounding the wings a tad.

***Inspiration***

Here's my sample card as a design team member 
for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head 
on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

It's pretty obvious what inspired me from the photos.
I stamped my sunflower on a tan cardstock and edged
it using a Gold Leafing Pen. I colored the flower with
Copic markers. I stamped my cat and fussy cut it out
and colored the flower and dotted with a gold sparkle
pen. I mounted my layers together then added my cat,
using pop dots. I stamped my sentiment and added
a couple of pearls and that's it!

Tuesday Throwdown
Challenge 315

-Halloween Inspiration-

Here's my card for the challenge!

Our sponsor, A Day For Daisies (ADFD) has the best 
images. Be sure to go visit them and check them all out.
I picked Black Cats For Sale to create my card. It's too
cute!! First I colored my cute digi, using Copics, and
a bit of gray ink for sponging the sky and edges. Then it
was just a matter of choosing my card colors. I always
love purple, black and orange for Halloween. For my 
little black kitties, that I colored a solid black, I used a
white pen for the eyes, adding a small black dot in the 
white. For their little noses I used a pink sparkle pen. 

I found that trying to color the kitties with much

detail was too challenging for me, so just the flat

black worked out fine for me. They look pretty 

sweet. A bit of black twine and a "meow" 

embellishment and finished!

Craft Your Passions Challenges #333

I'm excited to be joining a new Design Team with

Craft Your Passion Challenges.

Best part about the challenges is that they are

ALWAYS

Anything Goes!!

Here's my card for CYP Challenge #333

This little digi was so delicate and sweet that I felt

a card with too much in the way of embellishing

would be overpowering so I kept is simple. 

I colored the little image using Copic markers. I used

a green sparkle pen for her head band. I layered

my cardstocks and fussy cut out my little girl. I added

her to my card using mounting tape to raise her up. I 

stamped my sentiment in black and added 3 orange dots

from Fun Stampers Journey to complete this card. 

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

***Different Card/Technique***
Faux Metallic Embellishment
Here's my sample card as a design team member 

for Mark's Finest Papers! Thanks for looking and head 
on over to JOIN IN the challenge fun!

This was a great tutorial and I can't believe I never thought

of it before. Silly me. I first stamped my flower and 

colored it using Copic markers. Then I followed the 

tutorial and silver embossed my die cut tag 3 times and 

"stamped" my sentiment.  It made a great metallic look.

Once it cooled, which didn't take long at all, I punched 

holes on each side and ran a ribbon around and attached 

it, using some pop dots under the tag. I added a couple of 

tiny gems and put together my layers to complete 

the card. I enjoyed this tutorial and will use it again!!

Birds
Here's my sample card as a design team member

Again, CAS is SIMPLE! I embossed the bottom edge of

the card, stamped my image in red ink and the 

sentiment in black. Put together my couple of layers

and that is it. Very Easy Peasy!!
