Clean And Simple With Hope Plus More NBUS #5

This month's Virginia's View challenge is all about clean and simple, so I pulled out a stamp I haven't used since I bought it years ago from Stampabilities House Mouse line.  After stamping in memento black, I colored everything in prismacolor pencils then stamped the message using a retired My Sentiments Exactly clear set and I was done.  I also made this card for the SCS Hope You Can Cling To 1401B - Shine On challenge for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Hello Buttons And Butterflies

Second post for me today.  If you are looking for my 4Crafty Chicks post, please scroll down one.

I recently discovered a new challenge blog, well new for me, called Drunken Stampers.  This week's Napoleon's Buttons challenge is to use buttons and brads.  I also decided it would be perfect paired up with Splitcoast's HYCCT1220 challenge.

I started out by stamping Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company soon to be released set called Cracked Hello onto snow storm smooth card stock with Tim Holtz brushed corduroy distress ink before stippling wild honey distress ink around the cracked image before stamping several butterflies on scrap white card stock in memento tuxedo black ink and coloring with prismacolor markers then cutting out.

After cutting out the butterflies, I added some die cut flowers and leaves from my stash, then the butterflies using glue dots, and finally some silk flowers and button bees/ladybugs before highlighting everything with bling and ice stickles.

Inspired by The Rose

Hello everyone.  I hope you enjoyed the weekend.  Despite another migraine, I was able to get this card made for the Moxie Fab World Trigger Tuesday challenge and Splitcoaststampers HYCCT1212 Spread The News Inspiration challenge - be inspired by a movie or a song from a movie.  For my card I chose Bette Midler's 1979 movie and song entitled "The Rose" and let the Tuesday Trigger photo inspire my color choices.

After finding the lyrics to the "The Rose" online, then copying and pasting into MS Word and arranging onto an entire sheet of card stock to use as designer paper, I stamped my images from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company set Love Remains in memento tuxedo black onto MFP snow storm and colored with prismacolor markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I cut one of the roses out, stippled Tim Holtz broken china and milled lavender inks around the edges of the main image before layering and adding some faux brads.

 

After adding the lyrics layer to my lavender card, I added the cut out rose to the image panel, then adhered the entire panel to the upper left corner of the card.  My saying was stamped in memento black onto scrap snow storm and also layered onto scraps before being placed in the lower right hand corner of the card.  The only embellishments added were some fruit punch and yellow ice stickles to the roses and lavender organdy ribbon from the Michael's $1 spot.

Trick or Treat For Hope

Second post for me today.  If you're looking for my Cornish Heritage Farms post, please scroll down one.

A friend of mine recently rak'd me some cricut die cuts and a haunted house I was looking for.  Thank you Janis!!! Here's her blog if you'd like to visit.  There's lots of inspiration there. So when I saw one of the Splitcoast Hope You Can Cling To Monster Mash challenge, I pulled them out along with my Halloween stamp sets from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company.  After adding some Graphic45 Halloween designer paper, to my card, I stamped out my images from MFP's I'm Going Batty and Tree Greetings in memento tuxedo black onto snow storm white and colored with prismacolor markers before cutting them out.  I also used two sneak peeks Cracked Hello and Halloween Selections to help add some subtle touches to the card.

 

Once all of my coloring was finished and cut out, I added the cut out images to the die cuts and a pumpkin sticker from K&Company.  Here's a look at the inside of my card.

Little Mermaid

Hello everyone and welcome to the weekend.  I recently came across the Link Up For Pink blog for Breast Cancer Awareness and decided to enter some of the challenges as well.  Knowing that sometimes kids have to unfortunately fight cancer, I made another card for one of the Splitcoast challenges with kids in mind using Sassy Studio Designs mermaid image.

After printing off my image onto white card stock and coloring with koh-i-noor pencils then blending with a prismacolor marker, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz broken china and then Stampin Up! blushing bride around the image before layering and adding some brads.  Then I layered my image onto some digital music designer paper before adding some silk flowers from Michael's I bought a couple of years back.  I'll be adding this card to the box I'm sending to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Hope You Can Cling To Courage - WCMD

Second WCMD post for me today.  If you're looking for my Paper Smooches clean and simple card, please scroll down one.

I have two cards I made today for SCS's Hope You Can Cling To courage challenge.  Both of the cards use Paper Smooches Hope set. 

The first card is a clean and simple style using Hope paired with some MAMBI designer paper and Stampin Up! card stock, ribbon, baby brads and mini roses.

The second card also uses Hope, however, I have paired it with one of my favorite sentiments from My Time Made Easy's Keep Strong digital set.  Again I paired the images with some MAMBI designer paper, Stampin Up! card stock, baby brads, ribbon, and also a pink ribbon brad.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.
