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.

So happy to have Di's Digis as our sponsor this week!

Here's my card!

This card was super fun to make because I got the image
from Gina K. at her store, Village Paper and Ink. There was
a Coloring Challenge Road Trip, with Kathy Racoosin. This
was one of the images we were given to try a couple of 
different techniques on. The dotting on the petals was a 
new idea for me but I liked how it looks! I used a white 
gel pen to dot around the center of the flower and that 
just seemed to make it pop! Another tip I'll use again. 
I colored the entire image with Copic markers. Including 
the background behind the flowers and leaves. I used 
colors BV20s. It was a totally different color idea for me. 
I used a "thanks" die cut in the same cardstock as my
back layer. This card will go to the friend whose car we
used to get the Gina K.s. Thanks, Gerri!!!

So happy to have Newton's Nook as our sponsor this week!

They have some fun stamps and die cuts! 
Be sure to check them out!

Here's my card!

I love Newton's Nook stamps and since it's football season,

AND I'm a Green Bay Packers fan, this stamp set was just

the thing to create a birthday card for my hubby...next year!

I used a Fun Stampers Journey stencil to make my background.

I just held the stencil in place, using washi tape, and sponged

on my green and gold inks. It creates a fabulous background

very easily! Then I stamped my little "Packer" bear and 

colored him using Copic markers and cut him out. I stamped

the sentiment, and colored it, then embossed the upper part

of the white panel. I attached all my layers then added my 

little football buddy, using mounting tape to raise him up.

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.

Here's my card!

I printed this cute little image, "Rocky Goes Fishing" and 

colored him with Copic markers. I added some white gel

pen to the water and then some clear glaze. Then I cut the

image out. I printed out my own sentiment to create a guy

birthday card. I may have to save it for my hubby's next 

birthday...in MAY! I raised the sentiment and image using

mounting tape. 

I wrapped a bit of twine around the sentiment and added

a cute little fish charm to it to complete the card.

Some Crafter's Companion Creativity

Crafter's Companion has some awesome card kits that

are simple and require little to make stunning cards.

Now, I love having a bit more of a person touch, like 

my own stamping or coloring, but these kits are just so

lovely! The quality of cardstock is top notch! Here are 

two that I made. Can't remember exactly which kit, or 

if I combined product from both of them, but, regardless,

they turned out very pretty. I am waiting for some of the

Crafter's Companion Luxury cardstock in gold to really

step up the elegance! Thanks for stopping!

Here's my card!

Those Bugaboo's are just too adorable. There are

four images in the set that this cutesie giraffe came

from. I used Copic Markers to color him with. I added

some gold leafing pen on the edges of the sentiment

banner and the image. I embossed the background

paper and added some coordinating pattern papers.

I used some white pearls and colored them with the

matching Copic pearls and added them to complete

my card.

So happy to have Fred She Said as our sponsor this week!
They have some fun and beautiful designs! 
Be sure to check them out!

Here's my card!

The sentiment is what helped me create this card. I could 

envision the butterfly as "completion". From cocoon to 

something beautiful, as it will be when believers go to be 

with Jesus. I used a scalloped die cut oval. I sponged 

some ink on the edges. I printed out my images and 

colored them using Copic markers, except for the 

flowers. For them I used Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen for 

a great blingy sparkle. I printed 3 butterflies,

using two of them on the card and I cut the extra wings,

from the third butterfly, and attached them to the top 

butterfly for dimension. I did the same for the flowers 

on top. I popped them all out using pop dots. 

 The pattern cardstock was perfect colors

with a touch a sparkle too! It turned out nicely but

what type of card is this??? Who does it get sent too?

Sympathy? Birthday? Any thoughts? lol

Here's my card!

This was super simple with a lot of flare. I used

Altnew stamps and a Stampaholic stamp positioner.

The stamps are three stamps to create the flowers

and leaves using different shades of inks. I used

FSJ inks and they worked perfectly. I can make

multiple cards in a blink with the Stampaholic

and the stamp placements all set up. Boom, done!

This is one of the cards I am using at my stamp club

this month. Nothing simpler!
