Monochromatic Christmas Card

It is a monochromatic Christmas card challenge that Paige, one of the Christmas Elves at Holly Jolly chose for this week's challenge.

To make my card I used two sizes of a star die cut, an embossing folder, chiffon ribbon and a "joy" punch.  I like the effect of white on white. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join us at Holly Jolly this week.

Stampin with Dragon Challenge – Christmas in August

Greetings from Paradise

Hello,  my turn at  Come and Get It Challenges to chose this weeks challenge and it is a "travel" theme challenge.  This opens up a lot of choice for a card this week.  

When I thought of what I was going to make for this challenge I had a few ideas and settled on this post card inspired card.  The card is a collage of several different images, both rubber stamped and digital. The beach house and the sending you sunshine sentiment are by Make It Crafty, the post card image is by Tim Holtz and the flowers  and paradise sentiment are from a set of unmounted travel  rubber stamps.  To complete my card I coloured the image with my Copic Markers and added some bling.  

Hope you will join our challenge this week.  If you need some inspiration hop over to the Come and Get It Blog and see the beautiful cards the reset of the design team made to inspire you.  Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy the Gift of Nature

I like the Pine Cone Spray from Fred She Said Designs.   There is so much you can do with the digital images in the set.

For this simple card I put two images together to make the oval shape that I used for this card.  I added some colour to the image and mounted the image on several different card stocks. The wood grain background was a embossing folder that I added some Distress Ink too. The sentiment is  by Inkadinkado.

Thank you for stopping by.  I am off to clean up my craft room.

Glazed Shaving Cream Shapes

Technique Junkies has a swap this month and the idea is to take a technique from one of their issues and create a card with it.  I chose to use the glazed shaving cream technique.  The shaving cream [ark of the technique is a variation of colouring card stock using reinkers and shaving cream that we used years ago.

The butterfly die cuts were coloured by dipping them in the multicoloured shaving cream then stamped with a verse stamp.  Next butterflies were coated with  Versa Mark ink and clear embossing powder.  The embossing gives the butterflies a very rich look.  

The sentiment was embossed with purple embossing powder and layered on glitter paper and pattern paper.  To complete the card I added pearls.

Thank you for stopping by.

Beachy Colours

 

I made this card for an upcomig swap at the Yahoo Group Inky Fun Stampers where the theme is beach colours. I had this pretty shell background paper in my stash and I thought I would run with the colours. 

The fish scene is a rubber stamp from my collection that I coloured with my PanPastels.  I had also in my stash this ribbon I think looks like seaweed. I added some shell like buttons, pearls and a couple of pieces of Shrinky Dink plastic that I had stamped and coloured to look like sea glass.

Time to Skate

I used this cute skating penguin digital stamp is by Bugaboo Digi Stamps, called Winter Skate Penguin for this week's winter sports theme challenge at the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges.  Doesn't he look like he is having fun?  


Bugaboo Digital stamps is the sponsor of this challenge and that means a great prize for one lucking participant in this challenge. 

 To create my card I used my Copic Markers, glitter pen, Stickles, bling, ribbon, Stampin Up tag punch, Diamond Glaze and a button.

Ribbon or Lace that is the challenge

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges this week has a ribbon or lace challenge and Fred, She Said Designs is the sponsor of the challenge.  I chose to use one of Fred's new images called Doodle Floral. You should hop over to Fred's blog and see what she has been up to. There are several new techniques on her blog.

I thought the pretty flower image suited bright summer colours and I love orange and yellow combos. This simple card was coloured with Copic Markers and layered on several embossed papers.  The last thing I added was of course the ribbon.  

Thank you for stopping by.
