OWH Mid Week Challenge-layers

This is a fun digital image from Bugaboo. I colored with Copics. I added Diamond Glaze to the cake icing. The background paper is frosting from the DCWV snack pad. The white parts on it are built in gloss. The sentiment is from TLC.

I wanted to leave a link for TLC and Bugaboo but I am using the new Internet Explorer 9 and I can't figure out where the paste thing is.

OWH-midweek throwdown-Fathers Day

I managed to get some Fathers Day cards made. The stamp used on the cards with the tags is an old DOTS stamp. I picked it up for $.90 at Goodwill quite some time ago. This is the first time I have used it. I used the Brilliance Tiramisu ink pad. I had only 4 tags so I made 3 cards with the blue argyle background and 1 with the red. I made a trip to the store just to check the fishing department for a fly or lure I could put on the mesh. I came home with what looked like a little minnow made out of rubbery stuff. I tried several different adhesives but they wouldn't stick to the card. It would have looked so cute too. The card with the wood background I used a Creative Keepsake font that I have had for years and I do mean years. It goes back to my scrapbooking days. The CD says 1999, 2000. I colored in the font with Copics. I had seen the screw brads at Michaels so I made a special trip to get them. I had spent $50 at 2 different craft stores before I ever got home.

OWH-4th of July pinwheel card

Here is my pinwheel card. I will make 4 like this. Maybe some others but I have a feeling the shippers will be receiving a lot of these cards. It was great fun to make.

OWH-Thinking of you

Do you think 4 cards is enough for today. All the same cards with different colors. I used up almost all of my Basic Gray Scarlet Letter pad I have had forever. I was able to make 14 cards. Then when I was telling my Angela about doing that she said she needed what I had left to finish an album for our Amanda. She managed to have 3 papers she could use and I found a couple more but I forgot to tell her.

OWH-More Mothers Day cards

Yesterday I had Word open and was working on a sentiment. Had it all ready to print. You know, the right font and size where I could print it on the card. I turned around from my work desk to my computer desk and I had major problems! My Windows 7 had crashed. One of my grandsons came over and helped me. We used the recovery disc that I made when I first got the computer which was only 8 months ago (it was still under warranty). I lost everything in the way of pictures and documents and all that. I store my data online. It took 2 hours of download this morning but I have it all back. So glad I pay that less than $4 a month. I don't have to worry about backing stuff up. It does it automatically.

Okay, now for the cards. My, I was so chatty I have to think about what I am posting. The card with the yummy food is more paper from the DCWV snack pad. Loving these papers. I mounted the sentiment on gold antique look paper. The card with a bird I made some time ago. I changed out the strip on the top for Mothers Day. The bird cages are gold foil imprinted on the paper. Very fancy indeed. I stamped the bird and covered in Diamond Glaze to give it body and then cut it out. I love this design and want to make more cards like this.

OWH-Loving coffee

I made several of the stacked cup cards and mailed off for OWH. It is yet another Bugaboo image colored with Copics. I colored with only the earth tone markers except for the spoon which I used gray. I wanted the card to have masculine colors and not all feminine colors. That way a lady could send to a guy and feel it was suitable. The cookie paper is from the DCWV snack pad. I am loving all the food papers, probably because I don't eat all this stuff. I do love coffee! My beverage of choice. These images are just too darn cute

I am also posting another version of the coffee flowers card. I made 6 of these and sent off to the midwest OWH shipper. They are very cheerful looking.

OWH-Coffee time!

Three different colored papers but same colored Bugaboo image. Loving this digi. Made 3 each of these cards.

OWH-Mothers Day

I made 21 cards with this Impresion Obsession stamp. I used Versafine black ink. All of the images were stamped on scraps of pattern paper. I got rid of a lot of scraps! I used only double sided paper scraps. I distressed the edges of the image with a Tim Holtz distressor and the paper needed to stand up to that without tearing. I posted 2 different colored cards here so you could see the difference between soft and bold colors

OWH-Easter

The time is getting away from me. I haven't updated for a few days. Here are a couple of Easter cards. Both images are from designer paper I have had a couple of years. I colored in the eggs on the one card. I tried to make the cards suitable for masculine use. I made a few of each card and mailed them off some time ago to OWH

OWH-I miss ewe

Time to get some new cards on here. These cards were made with clipart. I made several of each for OWH. Sometimes it is nice to not have to color. I think the girl looks sad. It is her eyes and eyebrows. The missing you sentiment seems to work for this image.
