Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship for this week's challenge. My project this week is an ATC using Lawn Fawn's Flamingo Together mini set.  I love this mini because it reminds me so much of days at the Monterey Aquarium, and Chaffee Zoo, when my kids were little.  The whole ATC is made using scraps.

 

Using scraps, I stamped the main image panel, colored the flamingos before layering and adding some faux brads.  I then created the "beach sand" by dotting 3 different colors of Copic markers.  The final touch was a small floral spray, punched from scraps, with bling centers.

Foolish Mortals

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card made using the Haunted Halloween set, and Spooky Eyes stencil, from Scrappy Boy Stamps. I've had these for a while now and just hadn't used them yet - until now. 

 

I started out by stamping the hitch-hiking ghosts onto scrap Hammermill white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I stippled black dye ink around my "hitch-hikers" before setting aside.  Taking the stencil, I stenciled Opalite Sterling Frost ink that I've had for a decade, or more, and also hadn't used.  Once the stenciling was dry, I added my ghost layer, a black border using scraps before adding my layered sayings.  The final touch was adding some Thunderstorm bling.  I'm pretty happy with it even if it's a 6x6 card.

A Hanging Hello

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I've had made for a week, or so, but just haven't had to energy, or felt well enough, to photograph and upload.  Between my migraines, and still healing from the fall, I've not felt good at all.  The images are all from a retired Slimline Hanging Plants at Pajama Crafter Stamps.  

 

I started by stamping all of the images in memento tuxedo black ink "following loosely" the provided sketch in the Pajama Crafter Stamps Facebook Group.  I made sure to stamp the double tiered hanger twice so I could fussy cut it to pop up later.  This way the element for the right hand side would stand out better.  I did the same with the saying.  The final embellishments were a small pre-made bow and some bling from my stash.

 

Here's the sketch:

Retro Beach

 

 

 

Hello and welcome.  It's been a week already and it's only half over.  So I finally finished these ATC's using Conjurer of Dreams Retro Beach ATC challenge.  

 

I started out by combining all of my digital elements in Photoshop© before printing them out and layering.  I then took several punches/dies and punched out/die cut crabs, starfish, coral and seagulls.  I then added them to the ATC's before highlighting the water using star dust stickles.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Sunbird Spark (formerly Penguin Palace).  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship of this week's challenge. It's freaking hot here right now so, for my card, I went with a cooler fall theme and used the Happy Fall digital images.  

 

After printing my scene on Neenah white card stock, I colored everything using Ohuhu markers before layering and adding faux brads.  Once I adhered the layered image to the card, I stippled bits of several inks leftover from previous projects for a fall feel.  I then punched several leaves from scrap card stock and adhered those to the card.  The final touches were copper sequin leaves, sequin flowers and an orange bling to the "i" in pumpkin.

Lily Pond

 

 

 

Hello and welcome.  I'm guest designing this month over at the FarmQuest General Store Challenge where Anything Goes Farm and/or Country. For my card, I went with the country theme and created a card using the Lily Pond Grayscale Coloring Pages from Conjurer of Dreams. 

 

After coloring the image using Castle Arts Watercolor Pencils and a blender pencil, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz mowed lawn distress ink before layering and adding some faux brads and adhering it to a green card.  I then punched two different frogs using scraps before adhering them using Bearly Art glue.   The finishing touches were googlie eyes, stickles, bling and adding some eyes using a 3D glaze pen.  I then added my saying using a long retired Close To My Heart set - inside says "only small things with great love. - Mother Teresa.  I'm really happy with how it turned out.
