Birthday Hoot

Once again posting this on the last day.  This card is for the Mod Squad Challenge which is to make your own background.  Thought I would pull out my Lots of Washi stamp set and attempt my background.  It started off straight and somewhere along the way I went caddywompus.  Character ... lots of character!

Stamps:  Birthday Hoot, Lots of Washi, Basket Additions 2 (GKD)

Paper:  White, Early Espresso (SU)

Ink:  Walnut (Lawn Fawn)

Accessories:  colored pencils (Prismacolor); OMS; Scan n Cut (Brother); oval die (Spellbinders); square embossing folder (Cuttlebug); glossy accents (Ranger); pop dots (Michaels)

Thought I would use a different medium other than my Copics.  They are still my favorite coloring tool.  

Thanks for stopping by and as always ....

Have a great day!

Birthday Basket ...

This was for the Mod Squad Challenge but I missed the cutoff date ... oh well. It was to use teal and purple.  

Stamps:  Holiday Basket, Basket Additions 2, Pretty Patterns, Beyond Baskets (GKD)

Paper:  White, Black, Purple

Ink:  Memento Black, Taken w/Teal (SU); Onyx Black (Versafine)

Accessories:  pearls; Copics; clear embossing powder; brads; embossing folder; Scan N Cut 

I had so much fun making this card.  I used my Scan N Cut to cut out the basket and goodies and also the black mat behind the basket.  The handles on the basket are moveable.  I used the Pretty Patterns stamp set to create my background.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

Basket of Fun ...

This project is for the second challenge over at StampTV for the April Guest Designer.  The challenge this week is anything but a flat card.  I made a birthday card that holds a candy bar.  

Picture number one ...

Stamps:  Beyond Baskets, Basket Additions 2, Pretty Patterns (GKD)

Paper:  Early Espresso, Regal Rose, White (SU)

Ink:  Memento Black; Versamark; Regal Rose (SU)

Accessories: Copics; pewter embossing powder, gems (SU); rectangle and scallop dies (Spellbinders)

Picture number two ... the inside ...

Picture number three ... 

The size of this card is 7 1/4 x 3 1/2.  I found the directions to make this on scor-pal.com.  The gems are colored with a Copic marker to match the brown cardstock. 

I've been away from stamping and blogging for a bit.  My son is home for spring break.  We actually had a gorgeous day so went and played some golf.  Heading back out to hit the links again tomorrow so really wanted to get this card completed and posted.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

Happy 4th of July ...

Today's card is for The Paper Players Summertime Theme Challenge.  Here is the inspiration photo ...

With the 4th of July right around the corner and that is the ultimate summertime fun for me, I knew I wanted something along those lines.  With my new stamps in hand, I started creating and ended up with this ...

Stamps:  Holiday Basket, Basket Additions 2 (GKD)

Paper:  White, Ballet Blue Real Red

Ink:  Memento Black, Real Red

Accessories:  Cuttlebug stars embossing folder, Nestabilities lacy square and square dies, Prismacolor pencils, OMS, Real Red ribbon, Bitty Banner Framelits, button brad (non SU), pop dots, corner rounder

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

• The basket is not straight but after all the coloring I did, it was going to have to work.
• The handles on the basket are movable.
• Colored pencils were used since I wanted a different coloring method.
• Card size is 6 1/4 x 4 1/2 as the basket is a big image. especially after matting it.

Other quick news ...

My pink tree card (here), was actually a winner in the Pretty In Pink challenge over at StampTV.  I'm still doing the happy dance!  

Thanks for stopping by and as always...

Have a great day,
