Have a Fairytale Birthday - PTT # 51

It is time for Party Time Tuesday’s challenge and this weeks challenge is a special "Happy Birthday".

http://partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com/.

 I chose to use this fairy digi stamp from Pollycraft Digital Images. I liked the way this pretty lady turned out sitting in her garden amongst the flowers.

I am presently on vacation and have taken a few of my crafting supplies along. It is interesting when you are creating and use to having ever crafting tool at your fingers and you have to make a decision what you are going to take with you in a 20 foot trailer for 6 weeks especially when your craft room is 12 by 20. I have not had very much access to the internet so I have not been able to post for awhile.

Happy crafting everyone and thanks for stopping by.

Crumb Cake, Marina Blue and Chocolate Chip

Crumb Cake, Marina Blue and Chocolate chip are the colours for the colour challenge for the Come and Get It challenge this week.  I just love this challenge blog.  There is a different challenge every week.  Come join the fun.

For this challenge I used a cute Fairy digi stamp from Pollycraft .  I searched my stash of papers and found this very pretty background paper in blue and brown and some blue and brown ribbon that tied in with the theme of the card.  I coloured my image with my Copic markers and Martha Stewart’s glitter pens.  I layered several different papers, edged the image and added some bling to complete the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cute Card Thursday Challenge #198

I have not had time to participate in Cute Card Thursday’s challenges for a while and I have been missing out in all of the fun.

 The weeks challenge is “Something New”.   I chose to use this new digi stamp from Paper Shelter for my card.  I thought the birds in love were so in keeping of Valentine’s Day coming up.   The stamp I used for the flowers is a retired stamp from a set made by Stampin Up.  I stamped, coloured and cut out the flowers then I wet them and crumbled them.  Once the flowers were dried I affixed them to my card.   Thanks for looking.

Something New

This cute little fairy card was made for Party Time Tuesdays challenge this week.  The theme of this PTT #49 challenge is "something new".  Come and join the fun.

The inspiration for this card was the background paper that I managed to nearly cover with my design.  The fairy digi is from the collection of Pollycraft Digi Stamps.  Bling, ribbon and glitter give the card some sparkle and the way she is fastened to the card I think gives her some life. 

Thanks for looking.

Card Sketch with Serigraph Technique

 

It is card sketch time at one of my favourite Yahoo Groups Enjoy Michael Strong Stamps.  I wanted to do a technique with this sketch and I decided on the serigraph technique that I found on Split Coast Stampers web site.

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/serigraph/

I used Mike’s mosaic frame stamp and used three colours of distressed inks to colour the rectangle that I cut from the frame to make the sketch pattern and the vertical stripes. I added the pattern to an embossed background that I inked the edges with one of the distressed inks. 

The pattern made a very pretty simple card I think.  The frame stamp from Mike’s collection I think is one of the most versatile stamps.

Come join the fun at enjoy Michael Strong Stamps.

Love is in the Air

I created this card for a challenge by the Yahoo Group Enjoy Michael Strong Stamps. The theme of the challenge is Love is in the Air. I wanted to create a metallic look to the card so I rubbed many layers of different colours of metallic Luster Rub-Ons over the embossed background. I then edged the card with copper embossing powder to complete the metal look, added the birds, and a metal embellishment with a ribbon to complete the card.

Birthday Wishes

This masculine birthday card I made for a friend’s upcoming birthday this month. The row boat stamp is by a rubber stamp company called Lasting Impressions with Panache. The fish stamp is a retired PSX stamp and the sentiment stamp is from my collection of unmounted stamps. I think the combination of these stamps, the Copic colouring and layering makes a simple interesting card. Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day.
