OWH-Embossing challenge

Here is my card. I chose to use only the single heart. The music background is a stamp from Sonlight Impressions. It was RAKed to me by a fellow stamper, Cathy. Thank you Cathy.  I used Vintage Sepia Versafine as the ink. The sentiment is from Create With TLC. Another version of this card is one I didn't emboss as a whole. I felt that the embossing just didn't look that well with the stamped background. I will try this again on just plain paper.

OWH- Midweek throwdown

The challenge this week is for an any occasion card. I think this works for a few occasions. This is one of my favorite Penny Black stamp images

OWH-Spring cards.

Just a quick post of a couple of spring cards. Both of these cards were made using one of those strange shaped pieces of paper my Angela gave me. The first one I stamped a bird by Inkadinkadoo on colored paper. I layered it up with Diamond Glaze and cut the image out after it dried. The digital sentiment is from Create With TLC. It comes in one of her packs she sells. I printed it out on I think, a K&Co. label.

The next card has a digital image from Bugaboo. I colored it with Copics.

My ear still hurts. I am heading to bed for a nap.

OWH-It's bird day

I will be brief here. I have an ear infection and I don't feel like chatting.

These cards have digital images by Robyns Fetish. I colored with Copics.

Did I say brief?

OWH skinny leg girls.

I can't remember who makes these skinny leg girls but they are fun to play with. I have 3 different papers here from the same pad, can't remember who. It is pad with butterflies on all the pages. Very suitable for spring.

Mothers day

Create With TLC has a blog hop starting Saturday morning the 19th. My next 3 cards all use her sentiments. My card will be the Sweet card. Love to see you stop by her blog and do some hopping.

I made several of these cards for OWH. They were pretty simple. The heart frame image is from Create With TLC. I put the word "mom"  in a Word document then merged the heart image onto the word. I mounted the image onto a 4" paper doily from the baking section at the store. I was afraid the rigors of shipping so many times would rip the doily so I glued all the tiny points down with a dab of Diamond glaze. I added some pearls to dress it all up. I also went over the flowers with a glaze pen to deepen the color just a bit.

Hambo Hoedown #3-I was supposed to fly south?

The Hambo Hoedown  this week provided a pelican image. The card needed to incorporate the colors blue, brown and tan with a beach theme.  About 3 years ago my kids brought me home from Hawaii some real ugly scrapbook paper. Well, some of it was okay. I think I used this stuff one other time to make a card. When I saw the challenge was a beach theme I thought this would be the time to dig it out and use it. The word sentiment is from Create with TLC.  The wavy look it has is perfect with the wavy layers on the bottom.

Create with TLC blog hop

I love how this card turned out. The paper is from the DCWV snack pad. The sprinkles on this are all shiny and yummy looking. I liked this pad of paper so much I bought 2 of them. I made 6 cards with this color combo and I will do some more with other colors. The word art is from Create with TLC. It is from one of Paulettes sentiment packages that you can purchase. I knew the minute I saw it that I had to have it. You can find it here. Just scroll down a bit.

I think this is a perfect card for a parent to send home to a child, big or little. This post has been up a few days so I am modifying it a bit. In case you are wondering why I made so many, they are for Operation Write Home.

I hope you are enjoying this hop. Your next stop will be at Shelly's blog. You can find it here. Leave Paulette some love too for organizing this.  If you read this far, the password is "It's a digi world". Write it down!

OWH-paper challenge

Today I am going to post 4 cards. My Angela gave me a bunch of paper and in it was several pieces of wierd shapes. I decided I was going to challenge myself to use these shapes. I chopped up the paper into useable sizes and this is what I came up with

The main images here are both from Inkadinkadoo sets.

For this one I added a big Prima flower to a circle of glossy paper that I colored with alcohol inks.

This one has a stamped image from a Fancy Pants Pollen set. I used a nice layer of Diamond Glaze on the petals.

I rather like how these all turned out.

OWH blog skip

This is the last stop on the skip. I hope you have enjoyed the different take we have all had with this Whipper Snapper image provided to us by Barb. If you arrived here other than via the links on the OWH Stars & Stamps blog you can click this link and start at the top.

Barb sent all of us a kit with the image and included the papers we were to use. The image really puzzled me. I could see his feet facing forward. I saw what I thought was his nose down low or maybe his tail. It looked like his rear end sticking up at the top but why would a rear end have whiskers! I thought he was bent over looking through his legs because his ears were touching the ground. That couldn't be because his feet were facing forward! I went to the Whipper Snapper site and found the stamp so I knew I could get the colors right. Finally I gave the site link to a couple of friends and asked them to explain this image to me. They laughed at me. What I thought was his nose was a belly button. He had his head tipped back and was smelling the flower. Of course! Now I could see it! Yes, I was able to laugh at myself.

 I had 4 papers to choose from so I picked 3 to work with.

There is a bunny hop (blog hop) coming up soon and I would like to invite you all to sign up here. There is also a bloghop button on my sidebar with the link. I am going to link you back now to S&S blog
