Hello and welcome. Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Sheepski Designs.  I would like to thank Andrea for her sponsorship.  

 

I printed the image, Resting Santa, on Neenah white card stock before coloring it using Castle Arts pencils and a blender pencil.  I then blended some leftover Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around my colored image before adding a small bow and some bling.

Catching Up

 

Hello and welcome.  I have a couple of projects today that have been finished, just waiting to be photographed, on my desk for a couple of weeks using images from Conjurer of Dreams.  

 

First up is an ATC using the Autumn Squirrel set.  I combined it with the Fall and Black Silks, plus adding the saying, in Photoshop© before printing on Neenah white card stock.  I then layered the main image panel onto red/brown scraps before punching several leaves/pumpkin/flower from scraps to add.  After adding some brads and bling, my ATC was finished.

Paper Funday #81 - Anything Goes Optional Cute or Spooky (anything goes)

Just Us Girls #797 - See Mood Board Below (inspired by fall leaves, colors)

 

 

Next up is a card made using last month's Conjurer of Dreams tag challenge image that I didn't get finished until this week.  I layered the finished tag onto the Fall Leaves and Black Silk backgrounds before adding some flower sequins to the corners.  I then added some silk leaves I've had for years behind the tag and adhered the whole thing to a card with the Fall Leaves background.  The final touches was adding some leaf sequins, bling and punched leaves from scraps of card stock.

Cactus Christmas Warmth

  

 

Hello and welcome.  2nd post from me today.  If you're looking for my window kitty card, please scroll down one post.   

 

I decided to participate in this year's Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers linky hop, so I'd like to share with you a Christmas card I made using the Christmas Cactus Trio image from Pattie's Creations.  I added the sentiment myself using Photoshop© before printing it onto Neenah white card stock then colored using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly stippled left over tumbled glass (from another project) distress ink around the image/saying to "soften" the white then layered and added faux brads.  Once all of that was done, I colored the white "fur" on the santa hats using a white gel pen before adding some bling, googlie eyes and diamond ice stickles to finish my card off.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Kitty By The Window

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I finally assembled using some of the new Fall and Halloween image sets from Conjurer of Dreams.  Since I'm a "crazy cat lady", I just had to use the  Cat at the Window as my main image.  I combined that with the following in Photoshop© before printing out to assemble: Fall Silk, Photo Corners and Gothic Floral Background for my base.  After adding some purple brads from my stash, I adhered the cat image panel to some scrap orchid card stock then popped it up over the gothic floral card base using pop up glue dots.  The only embellishments added was a mauve organdy ribbon and some black gems.  I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

Have A Spooky Halloween

 

Hello and welcome.  Posting has been hit and miss lately since I've been dealing with both a migraine flare-up and a fibromyalgia one as well.   It's not been fun and I've been a tad grouchy.  However, I have two cards to share today that originally started out as ATC's but couldn't think straight from the migraine, so I pulled out pre-printed Conjurer of Dreams Bat Backgrounds, added them to orchid card stock and then adhered my ATC starters.  The ATC starters were combined in Photoshop© using the following Conjurer of Dreams sets: Bat Backgrounds, Moon clip art, Funny Gravestones, Halloween Photo Corners, Halloween Quotes, Black Silk and Purple Silk.  The final touches was some distressing, bling and ribbon to finish them off.

Halloween Spider Web

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a quick and easy Halloween card made using the Spiderweb digital stamp from Gerda Steiner Designs.  The image set comes with both a Halloween web AND a blank web so you can personalize the card - and it's a freebie!

 

After printing the image onto Neenah white card stock, I die cut a black spider using scraps and my Big Shot© before adhering it to a black card.  To finish it off, I added four black spider sequins instead of brads and a few black bling gems.  My card was finished in under 10 minutes so this is perfect for those mass produced Halloween cards.

Pattie's Creations

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Pattie's Creations.  I would like to thank Pattie for her sponsorship of this week's challenge. My card this week features Pattie's image Hibiscus the Tropical Gnome.

 

After printing the image onto Neenah white cardstock, I colored everything using my Ohuhu markers before stippling some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink using a blending brush then layered the image.  I then glue some die cuts and punched sea life before highlighting the water using stickles glitter glue.  The final touches were some yellow bling flower centers and stamping a long retired Stampin Up saying.  I'm really happy with how this turned out especially since I'm dealing with yet another migraine and fibromyalgia flare up.

Have Youself A Merry Little Reindeer

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share Christmas card I made using the  Little Reindeer clear set from Gerda Steiner Designs.  This is a second card I made as part of World Cardmaking Day this weekend.

 

I started out by stamping the reindeer, birds and saying in Memento tuxedo black ink using a MISTI before coloring everything using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I stippled some tumbled glass distress ink using a blending brush before adding some faux brads and adhering to a ballet blue card with scrap designer paper.  I then added some white/gold organdy ribbon, and gold bling, along with googlie eyes to the birds to finish it off.  Similar look to yesterday's card, yet different.
