Cluck, cluck, cluck.

I did a couple more variations using this chicken paper. The paper called to me! I love making cards that are masculine. I don't have to mess with ribbon.

OWH sketch challenge #122

I normally don't do the sketch challenges. I really enjoyed working with this one. I tried to keep true to the sketch and use the size pieces asked for. When using these sketches keep in mind that you can flip them over.

For the cat on this card I went over it about 3 times with a clear Glaze pen. I used a yellow Crystal lacquer on the eyes and the spots on the body. The sentiment was all a 1 piece acrylic stamp. I cut it so I could place the sentiment on 2 separate papers. I finished the end strips with some Basic Grey brads.

 The cupcake was colored with Copic markers. I finished off the icing and the heart with Diamond glaze. The chocolate icing background is from a DCWV snack stack. I love all the yummy papers in this stack so much I bought 3 big pads. The sprinkles paper is from a sheet of Martha Stewart paper with cupcakes on the reverse side.

What's Up

This is my card for the May Our Daily Bread Designs challenge. I picked up this stamp last week at St. Vincent DePaul for $2.70. It is a 1995 PSX stamp. My 5 elements are
1-brads
2-colored image with Copic markers
3-distressed the edges of the neutral piece and colored with chalk inks
4-embossed the green cardstock
5-used chalk ink on the green cardstock to simulate reptile skin

These 2 cards I used paper from the DCWV Safari stack.

Cupcake anyone?

Another batch of cards. I used up the last of the cupcakes I fussy cut from a sheet of paper. They are all so yummy looking. The glitter is embossed in so no harm to the troops. I also used a full sheet of paper that had the icing with sprinkles and several pieces of the cupcake and chocolate paper from a small DCWV pad. The sentiments are from Hero Arts and Inkadinkadoo I think

A batch of thank you cards

I really enjoyed using up scraps on these cards. There will be more in the future

Fluffles the cat

I guess I better get this blog updated. It has been a few days. Tis is a Stampendous stamp colored with Copics.

Ride em cowboy

A quick card using some DCWV cowboy papers. Added some little copper brads to the star. That's all folks. Nothing fancy here.

Surfs Up!

I made 10 of these cards for my OWH box. The surfboard paper is from Rusty Pickle. Except for the sand the other papers are DCWV Tahiti Beach stack. All are mounted an Bazzill cardstock.

Patriotic

A couple more cards using the same vintage image and more Bo Bunny papers. The brads in the second card I colored with Copic markers over white to give a more vintage look.

Land of the free, home of the brave

Another 4th of July card using my Bo Bunny papers from last year. The image is from Create With TLC. I colored with Copics and used Antique Linen Distress Ink around the edges and also around the edges of the computer generated sentiment. Did a little sewing on it also. Had to drag my machine out.
