Card Patterns 22 weekly card Sketch


I call this one my Pink Lady~ the sketch is from Card Patterns Weekly Card Sketch. Hot pink and black card stock from Bazzill, along with stamps from Prickly Pear. I accessorized with silver thread, silver leaf pen, deco edge scissors, and colored image with copic/prisma markers and silver leaf pen. I also used some crystal effects on the headlight to shine that baby up!
Being avid riders, I REALLY like this set of stamps, and we really live by the motto, "Live to Ride, Ride to LIVE!"
Ride On~

2-in-1!

This little cutie of a card meets the requirements for 2 challenges in 1 card! First off, a BIG {HUG} and TY to my friends Joni for the image. She sent me a box of crap (no, it was not on fire!) as part of a housecleaning swap, and this little stamp was included, along with the DP. My DD was born on St. Patty's Day, so that holiday is more special to me. Anyways, on to the card and challenges:

Image heat embossed with clear emvossing powerder over black pigment ink. Colored in with Copics and Prisma markers, gold coins colored in with gold Twinklette marker, some clovers colored in with green Twinklette too. Ovals cut with Nesties large classic ovals, image popped up with dimensional tape. Irish rub-on, covered with green blingy star.

Challenges Completed: Sweet Sketch Wednesday (a sketch) and The Pink Elephant (stars & stripes).

3 new DigiPhrases for you, inspired by my Pirate Card and my DD, she LOVES to sword fight

challenges, challenges, and more!


For Splendid Stamping with TGF Farm Fresh Challenge posted on July 3rd, a sketch~~ I used Matey set, some blingies, eyelets, twine, and copic markers to color in my little pirate! The DigiPhrase is available in another post here on my blog.











Hey Cupcake! This little goodie is for CAS22 over on Splitcoast & Digital Tuesday Challenge 14. Pink and white cardstock from Bazzill, scalloped edge scissors and a 1/16" hole punch create the deco edge. Cupcake image colored in with copic and prisma markers, pink frosting coated with Startdust stickles, cherry is crystal effect'ed.









Finally, 2Red Bananas challenge this week is looking for "Something Patriotic," and this is my creation. I am liking the CAS style! But then, I also love the opposite-- full of layers and frillies. Anyways, created this card with a $1 clear stamp (star), blue printed paper from Hobby Lobby, red and white cardstock from Bazzill, SU! Real Red ink, twine, and a star blingy. There are also 3 scored lines across the bottom of the card, but you cannot see them in the picture.

rainy day challenges







Call me butter, I am on a ROLL~ Two more challenges done today!


I was bored last night, so after cruising the blogs, I came across Card Patterns, saw a cute sketch, and this is what I came up with for Sketch 21. Image is from Great Impressions, SU! so saffron cs, cherry red and blue shimmer cs from Bazzill, mini silver eyelets, printed paper form My Mind's Eye @ Hobby Lobby, and red grosgrain ribbon. TA-DA!



And THIS lovely card is my interpretation for Sweet Sketch Wednesday's Sketch #4. I duuno about this one. You ever made a card and then, when all done, looked at and thought, "Hmmm, I dunno if it still meets the requirements for the challenge." But anyways, I may go back and try to come up with something else this weekend. Oh, and be sure to check out SSW on July 4th for an added challenge!

2 challenges, 2 cards


The picture is crooked, the card isn't! HA~ this was made for the CAS 21 challenge over on Split Coast. What color is that cardstock? The pink and brown are from Stampin Up's *NEW* In-Colors, to be release on July 1. Those flowers are rub-ons coverd in Star Dust Stickles. I added 3 green rhinestone stickies for a little more bling, and a little curvy phrase from Stampendous, many years ago.



WOW, talk about a change of pace from the last card! This is probably the most UN-cas card I have ever made! Lots of embelli's and layers here make this my card for the 2 Red Bananas inspiration challenge this week. The image and quote are from a kit swap I was in nearly a year ago, so I have no idea of the maker. I also added prima flowers attached with mini red heart brads, a binder clip tied off with red shimmer organdy ribbon, LOTS of dimensional tape, and a runner of red shimer organdy across the botton of the Cherry Red Bazzill cardstock. Blue star print is from The Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby. PHEW! I think that is about it! The picture posted on 2RB is so calming, and i could SOOOO see myself parked in a chair after a long day of playing in the surf, watching my darling Miss K romp along the shore collecting seashells as we await the night time show.

That's it for today, be sure to check out Joni's blog hop and check out where some of us stamp! Although, as tired as I am, I just may be strolling along and not hopping anywhere.
