Sketch Girl and Embellish Color challenge

In making my Sketch Girl card using one of Morgaine's Frenzified images, my printer decided to stop working.  Miraculously, it printed my image when I tried again this morning and I assembled my card.  Now, blogger won't upload the picture!  What's up with that!? LOL  If I don't laugh about it I will scream.  I'll try again later to upload the card. 

For now, here's a card I made loosely based on today's sketch for the Embellish color challenge to use pink, green, blue,yellow and embossing.  I embossed with a little white, glittery embossing powder and added some stitching with yellow thread.  I used some felt I grabbed at Joann's and cut it out with pinking shears.

Color Cue Challenge

I wanted to make something for Dawn's current Color Cue challenge and managed to get 2 cards made for it!  I made 2 because I was a bit ashamed to post yet another card with the little car and the rays I'm so obsessed with at the moment. 

I did not have a gray/blue so I went with Bashful Blue, Summer Sunrise and Berry Sorbet ink colors with lots of white.  The layout for the last card came from the new Papercrafts Go To Sketches idea book and it is well worth the $$.  There are some interesting sketches in there!

Thanks for stopping by!  Your comments are very much appreciated!

Supplies:  Stamp sets from PTI: Enjoy the Ride, Dot Spot, Distressed Stripes, Day at the Beach.  You're Dandy from Practicing Creativity, Clouds are from Oliver and Friends by Sassafrass Lass. 

PTI Blog Hop: Tissue

I'm not much on techniques, so I made a simple tissue paper flower using my circle nestabilites and some Happy Birthday tissue for this month's PTI blog hop.  I added a pearl brad to the center and made this elegant birthday card.  I used CPS sketch 164 for the layout.

Thanks for hopping by!  Your comments are much appreciated!

Supplies:  From Papertrey Ink- Sweet blush cardstock, Delightful Dahlia leaf dies, Spring pastel pattern paper, Sentiment from Damask Designs stamp set.  Pink satin ribbon by Offray, tissue paper, pearl brad, versamagic ink in wheat, SU! classic ink in Regal Rose, rectangle nestabilitie for embossing and circle nestie for cutting flower.

I'm totally obsessed with this car!

What's my deal with this car? LOL  I love this set but I still have 2 other new sets that I have not made anything with because I can't get off this one.  I have at least one more car idea in me and then I will (hopefully) force myself to move to another stamp set.

Here's my entry in the Papercrafts sketch challenge #2.  I used the awesome rays from You're Dandy by Practicing Creativity.  I'm really into the white on white right now too.

Short and sweet, gotta get ready for my newly 9yo daughter's 2nd birthday party--she turned 9 last weekend and had a sleepover party.  We're getting with hubby's side of the family today to celebrate.

Ink used is raspberry fizz, lemon tart, hawaiian shores and orange zest from Papertrey Ink.  The green on the car is a VersaMagic Dew Drop in Aloe Vera.

Tie Dye Birthday

I was showing my husband and oldest daughter the Enjoy the Ride stamp set last night and they started talking peace signs and tie dye.  Elizabeth mentioned tie dye and I told her she was a genius!  It took me a few tries but I finally got one right !  I simply drew the tie dye pattern with copics on the car and then added a little colorless blender solution with a cotton ball for that tie dye look--kinda of swirly and faded.

I stamped the rays from the set You're Dandy from Practicing Creativity in Enchanted Evening, Lemon Tart and Raspberry Fizz.  The circle behind the car is raspberry fizz but it looks like red in the photo.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!

CPS 163 More New PTI!

I made this card for the CPS 163 sketch challenge.  I used my new Enjoy the Ride stamp set and Dotti Biscotti paper.  I love this car!

Have a wonderful day!

All supplies from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted:  White, Kraft and raspberry fizz cardstock.  Dotti Biscotti pattern paper.  Stamp set used is Enjoy the Ride and flowers from Forest Friends.  Scallop was cut with my Cricut.  Button is from Bag of Buttons from The Paper Studio.  Twine is from my LSS.  Inked around card with Versamagic ink in Wheat.  Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Copics. Fuzzy ribbon is from Michaels. Background flourish stamp is from Inkadinkadoo.

Argyle is in the house!

Got my Papertrey Ink order this morning and made this quick and simple card using a sketch from Chapter 6 in the awesome, awesome Go to Sketches special issue from Papercrafts.    I stayed true to the sketch and used stitching in lieu of another panel.  Ok, so I didn't line up the stamp so well.  I'm blaming it on the Lemon Tart ink--it was hard to see through the acrylic block!

Thanks for dropping by! 

Supplies:  All from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted...Kraft and white cardstock, pure poppy button, lemon tart pigment ink, sentiment from Enjoy the Ridge, A Little Argyle stamp set.  Black ribbon is not PTI (not sure of the brand).  Memento Tuxedo black ink.

Sketch Girl 16: The Character Cafe

It's that time of the month again ladies! Sorry, I could not resist the pun and yes, I know I'm a dork. 

SG16 is sponsored by The Character Cafe and they are offering a $10 shopping spree in the store to the lucky winner of this challenge. 

I've been wanting to pull out this set again from Wplus9 Design Studio and decided to use it with this sketch.  I stamped the notes in PTI Fresh Snow on to Orange Zest cardstock, matted on with Hawaiian Shores and added black felt circles and did some zig zag stitching with pink thread.  The sentiment was stamped on a Nestie tag and sponged with Versamagic in Wheat.

 Let me say something about felt...I didn't get the big fuss over felt.  I liked it but didn't think it was all that until I cut a piece with a nestabilitie die and almost fainted at how awesome it was! LOL  Must.have.more.felt.

Please check out the design team, everyone does such a good job with these sketches!

Moxie Fab Get Sketchy Challenge

2 posts today...are you shocked??!  I planned on doing this Moxie Fab Get Sketchy challenge soon and got a wild hair and did it this afternoon.  I thought I'd go ahead and post it or I might forget to enter it.

Here's the Sketch:

Here's my take on it:

Thanks for stopping by!

Supply List:  From Papertrey Ink, Kraft and rustic white cardstock.  Forest Friends stamp set.  Spring Moss ribbon, dark choc. ink.  Pattern paper from Cosmo Cricket and ?? I 'll have to find out the maker of the polka dot used on the deer.  Oval nestie.

Thank you card

I got a new set, You're Dandy,  from Practicing Creativity recently and finally made something with it.   I love the clouds and the kite and the rays in this set.  It's what sold me on it.  I could not stop thinking about those clouds and those rays and that kite! LOL   Now, I keep thinking of hot air balloons...

This card turned out a bit different than I planned, but isn't that always the case?  I didn't mean to stitch it to death and had planned on having more dimension but I accidentally sewed the blue panel to the card base and couldn't pull it up without ripping it...grrrrr...so I just went with it.  Pattern paper is from Cosmo Cricket, I'm pretty sure it is.  Harriet gave it to me so I'm not sure of the line it came from.

Oh, and if you don't already know this, Embellish Magazine has debuted and it's fabulous!  Embellish is an online publication and it is VERY well done!  I knew it would be fabulous but it exceeded my expectations.

Check back tomorrow for the latest Sketch Girl challenge!
