All About the Night


The challenge this week at My Sheri Crafts is "all about the night".  I decided to use this rubber stamp from my collection who the artist name of this this unmounted stamp escapes me for this moment.   I think this stamp theme fits in quite well with the challenge theme.

The card was coloured with Copic Markers and a glitter pen.  The image was cut out with a Nestablities die, layered on top of a fancy cut die and purple glitter paper. The last step was to add some gold glittered stars and a twisted piece of paper cord to finish the card.
Thank you for stopping by today and have a creative day.

Route 66



My Sherri Crafts challenge this week has the theme of  "Lets Take a Trip" .  Great summer time theme. When I saw the them of the challenge I thought of the Kenny K. digital image I had in my collection.  Thought it would make a good image for this challenge.  

I had this pack of travel papers in my stash that were perfect for this card. The Route 66 sign is a free digital from Vintage Printables. I coloured my image with my Copic Markers and added a few sentiments to complete my card. 

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a creative day.

Time to Read


My Sheri Crafts this week has an interesting challenge called "Read Across America".  I am still playing snowbird in Arizona so I had to really put my thinking cap on to make a card for this challenge.  

I searched my stash of odds and ends that I had brought with me for this trip and came across some pattern paper that had definitions of words on it and I also came across a calendar, some small scrapbook letters and a Big News scrap I had used part of for another collage.

I had this girl reading digital image from Kenny K. in my stash. I thought my findings would make an interesting card.  Under the special event column of the calendar I added the words "reading week" with the small scrapbook letters.  I then began arranging my collage. To have my pieces tie into each other I coloured them with Distress Inks and outlining some with a blue pen. The digital image was coloured with Copic Markers.  To complete my card I added a few brads and some bling. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.

Let's Go Fishing


I have the honour of being the guest designer at My Sheri's Crafts this week.  "Time to go Fishin" is the theme of  this challenge and the challenge is to you a fish on your card.   This is a great theme for a little boy or a big boy card.  

Since I am still in Arizona on holidays I was limited to what I had on hand for this card. The cute little boy image is by Milk Coffee Digital Stamps which I coloured with my Copic Markers. I used a combination of papers in coordinating colours and patterns for the background layering.  The sentiment I added was from PollyCraft Digital Stamps and the fish was from part of a stamp I had in my collection.  I added some bling, black cord and some shine with Diamond Glaze on the boots to complete the card. 

Please join Sheri and her design team in the fun challenge. Thank you for stopping by and hope everyone has a creative week.
