Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Pattie's Creations.  I would like to thank Pattie for her sponsorship and for providing images for the design team to use.  My card today features Pattie's image Winter Flamingo.  I just love this cute image that's great for Winter, Christmas or even a Just Because theme.  

 

After printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using my Ohuhu markers.  I wanted to keep the card clean and simple so the only embellishments I added were some faux brads and some star dust stickles to highlight the snow.

THEME: WATER

 

 Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Pattie's Creations.  I would like to thank Pattie for sponsoring this week's challenge.  Since this is the 5th Monday, we have a theme this week of WATER.  Now go for it!!

 

I started out by printing Pattie's Silly Fisherman on Hammermill white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly blended some stormy sky distress ink using a blender brush before layering and adding some faux brads.  Setting the layered image aside, I dry embossed a green card using a tree ring embossing folder and my Big Shot©.  After adhering my layered panel, I added a chipboard birthday saying, punched frog, googlie eyes and some ice stickles to highlight the water.  I'm really happy with how this turned out especially since I've had a hard time health wise lately.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're sponsored by Pattie's Creations.  I would like to thank Pattie for sponsoring this week's challenge.  My card this week uses Pattie's Star Shaped Coastal Wreath colored using my Ohuhu markers. Once my coloring was finished, I layered it before adhering to a green card base.  For embellishments, I added some holly bling, red/green gems and a small bow from my stash.  As a final touch, I highlighted the berries/lighthouse/orange/seashell using a clear 3D glaze pen.  The final touch was stamping the Merry Christmas greeting underneath.  I'm very happy with how this turned out.

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.

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.

THEME = SUNSHINE

 

 

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.  Since this is also the 5th Monday of the month, we are having a sunshine theme.  Make sure your project(s) feature sunshine.  For my card, I'm using the Dog Days of Summer.  Which is really appropriate right now since we're "moving" into the triple digit "season" along with wildfire season.

 

My main image is colored using Ohuhu Honolulu markers before lightly stippling some Stampin Up bliss blue ink using my blending brushes.  Once all of the coloring was finished, I layered the image panel making sure to distress each of the layers before adding some faux brads.  I then took a summer sun scrap and die cut my sun using an old MFT die, then stippled summer sun and only orange ink over my sun.  After adhering it using glue dots to the image panel, I popped up the middle of the sun using pop dots.  A little bit of bling finished off my card.

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 uses Pattie's image Kitty On Books and is colored using Ohuhu markers.

 

Once the coloring was complete, I lightly stippled tumbled glass distress ink around the main image before layering and adding some red brads.  For my card, I dry embossed a red card using my Cuttlebug paisley embossing folder and Big Shot before lightly stippling some fired brick distress ink over the embossed images.  After adding my layered image panel, I stamped the saying from a long retired Close To My Heart set, layered and also added brads.  As an afterthought, I distressed the edges of the saying layers before popping it up using some pop dots.  I then went back and ran my fingernail along the edges of the main image layers to distress those.  The final touches were some red organdy ribbon from my stash and bling.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we are sponsored by Pattie's Creations.  I would like to thank Pattie for her sponsorship of our challenge.  My card today uses her Jar of Fireflies which is possibly retired.  I love using this image for get well and thinking of you cards.  I colored the fireflies using Ohuhu Honolulu markers and Ohuhu Glitter markers which I'm falling in love with.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz broken china distress ink around the edges before layering and adding faux brads.  I kept my card pretty clean and simple since I've been dealing with a bad migraine, plus a husband sick from bronchitis.  Unfortunately, I think I'm now getting it.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Patties Creations.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship and for providing images for the design team to use.  My card this week is using Pattie's Big Beautiful Bathing Beauties.  I kept the card pretty clean and simple because I wanted the emphasis to be on loving oneself.  Lately, it seems like society is trying to make everyone look the same.  All of our bodies are different.  Our health is different and some people have chronic conditions that make it hard to exercise at a gym, let alone have the extra money for it.  Ok, off my soap box.

I started out by combining the image with my own saying in a watermark program, then printing the combined image on Neenah white card stock.  After trimming down to the size I wanted, I colored it using both Lyra and Castle Arts colored pencils and a blender pencil.  Once the coloring was finished, I blended Tim Holtz tumbled glass, broken china, tea dye and brushed corduroy distress inks using my blending brushes.  The only embellishment added was waterfall ice stickles to highlight where the "ocean" would be.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Patties Creations.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship and for providing images for the design team to use.  Since this is the 5th Monday of the month, we are having a theme challenge and we're wanting to see flowers.  For my design team card this week, I'm using Pattie's Dogwood Floral Moon image.

I started out by printing the image onto Neenah white card stock before pulling out my Castle Arts watercolor pencils to color the image.  Once my coloring was finished, I stamped the saying from a retired Close To My Heart set called Follow Your Dreams, before lightly blending Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink using my blending brushes before layering the image and adding some white brads.  My card base is dry embossed using a Cuttlebug© stylized flowers embossing folder and my Big Shot©.  A small pink bow and ice stickles finish it off.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

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 them for their sponsorship and for providing images for the design team to use.  My card today is using the Party Gnomes digital stamp.

I started out by printing my image onto Neenah white card stock before coloring using Castle Arts pencils then layered, added brads then lightly stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass ink using a paper pouncer.  Setting the layered image aside, I stamped the "Birthday Wishes" sentiment from a long retired Stampin Up set then dry embossed it using my Cuttlebug© Happy Birthday embossing folder in my Big Shot©.  Taking a sanding block, I lightly sanded the raised images before adding my gnomes using glue dots.  That's it!! A quick and easy card for a birthday at any age or gender.
