Anything Goes Challenge at Eclectic Ellapu

It is an anything goes challenge this month at Eclectic Ellapu and I made this Hope card for the challenge. 

The Hope stamp is by a friend of mine, Lisa from Local Rubber King.  I used Distressed Oxides for the background and added a butterfly by  Morgan Fitzsimons that was printed on an acrylic sheet and coloured white.

Guest Designer at Retro Rubber

I am so happy to be a guest designer at Retro Rubber Challenge blog this week.   I made this card for their "winter scene"  challenge this week. 

The idea of this challenge blog is that they require you to use at least one rubber stamp that you have in your stash that is over a year old.  I have used several stamps by a friend, Lisa Yang of Local Rubber King.  The card was made with using three snowman stamps along with a sentiment by A Muse Artstamps. 

The piano player can be found on the Local Rubber King blog but I think the cello player and drummer are no longer available. I extended the hill line and added a couple of snowflakes to tie the 3 stamps together.  I coloured the image with Copics and added Deep Impression embossing enamel for the snow. 

Thank you Retro Rubber for inviting me this week. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day. 

Day 3 - Finger Painting with Metallic Rub-on-Paste

 

It is Wednesday and Day 3 of being card captain at Yahoo group, Enjoy Michael Strong Stamps. My card today I used the Lily stamp from Mike’s collection and used Metallic Rub-on-Paste and my fingers to color the card. The background stamp is by my friend Lisa from Local Rubber King. I like the way the two stamps go together. They make a nice collage.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day.

To Emboss or Not

When I first started making cards I remember that I fell in love with embossing, especially embossing something with gold or silver embossing powder. I rarely take out my embossing powders now a days and I got excited about the embossing challenge this week at Fashionable Stamping Challenges. http://fashionablestampingchallenges.cottagecrafts.ie/

I choose to use my friend Lisa from Local Rubber King Stamps “Hope” stamp.  Check out Lisa's stamps at:  http://www.localkingrubberstamp.com/   and http://shop.vendio.com/localkingrubberstamp

The paper I stamped and embossed was some paper that I had sprayed with several colours Moon Glow Splitz.  The purple background paper I embossed with a frame Cuttlebug embossing folder that I used a Metallic Rub-on to highlight the raised portions.  I also added some Metallic Rub-on to the butterfly to also highlight the raised portions of the butterfly and tie it in with the rest of the card. I will have to take out my embossing powders more often.  I really like the effect it gives the card.

 My quote for today " Creativity is a drug.  I can not live without it". Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day.

March Is Music Month

I have made this card in honour of music month for an upcoming swap.  The background music rubber stamp is by a friend’s rubber stamp company called Local Rubber King. Lisa`s company is based out of Vancouver but you can regularly see her at rubber stamp shows across the US and Canada.   Check out her designs at:

The bird, flower and cage are all die cuts and I added some distress walnut ink, a sentiment and bling to complete the card.  I liked the way the wing turned out in the music paper along with the flower patterned paper for the birds body. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great creative day.

Sketch Frenzy Friday -SFF102111

I love the sketches from Sketch Frenzy Friday. They keep your imagination going. I decided to make another Christmas card with their sketch. The snowman stamp I used was from my friend Lisa's collection of rubber stamps, Local Rubber King.

I punched snowfakes with my Martha Stewart punch and added some glitter and bling. Another of the many Christmas cards I have to make this year.

Have a creative day.
