Silhouette, AHSC #18

This card was inspired by the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge # 18.  Here is the sketch:

This card was simple to create and (I think) it carries a sweet message:). I started with Stampin up while cardstock and cut it larger than needed.  I thought when I seen other cards completed in this fashion a Breyer had done the work (plus I couldn't figure out where my giant mess my daubers were). So in the end I inked up my Speedball Brayer with CTMH ink, I started with the blue and worked down to the green grass.  On the grass I rolled the Brayer back and forth to get the hilly effect.  The clouds were accomplished using inkadinkadoo masking paper.

Next I inked up CTMY Childhood Portrait images (tree and children) with black ink and placed on the cardstock.  My next adventure was to size the card and trim it down.  I used CTMH seam binding ribbon.  i MUST say that it is one of the nicest ribbons i have ever used!  love it.  it is soft and silky and ties in a sweet bow like a dream!  it is worth the money and i wish i had more of the stuff.I love the patterned paper in this line.  It is from Simple Stories. I always finish the inside of my cards and the inside of this is strips of patterned paper laying helter skelter.  

Hope you enjoyed another card inspiration from AHSC!  I hope you join us this week and whip up an entry!  We love to see any project that this sketch has inspired you to do:)

Pop by Sometime, AHSC #17

This card was inspired by Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC).

I love the honeycomb shapes!  It is just a happy way to be!  I used Whimsie Doodles images and sentiment.  Aren't they cute?  I think the sentiment is sweet.  How whimsical to put that sentiment  with a girl holding popcorn! The colouring was all done with copics and recently I seen a neat way to post pictures of the markers used for a project...I think I will try it for the next one.  It's great to learn new ways to show product and projects:)

The paper line used for this project is simple stories.  I love the colors and combination of patterns.  I hope you enjoy.  Have a scrap happy day! 

Cheers,

Copper Evergreen

This little dandy just took a few minutes and the effects are worth while!  The cardstock is all Stampin up.  The gold cord I got at a thrift store and the stamp is a Stampin up stamp (from 2006). The tree was completed by stamping with versa mark and then taking the perfect pearls copper dust and their feather light brush and dusting over the top.  When the versa mark dries it is like a glue for the copper powder and it sticks in place.  I chose no sentiment on the inside or outside of the card because it could be used as a notecard close to or after the holidays.  Hope you have had a scrap happy day.  

Cheers,

Cartwheel Posey, AHSC #16

This little cutie came from a Annabelle Stamps. I used My Minds Eye patterned paper with colorbok cardstock.  My image is coloured with copics and I paper pieced her shirt and pants.  The sentiment comes from stampin up and it is embossed and i used a large oval punch from them too.  I used doodlebug twine and the centre of the flower has some red stickles ( I think it is razzleberry). I really must pay closer attention to these wonderful products.  I have to be honest and say when I am crafting I am not thinking about who made what....

This card was designed for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I am proud to say I am part of their design team and am loving the opportunity!  Hop on over to see us at http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/.  We will be happy to see your creations!

Have a scrap happy kinda day

Much love,

Embrace your Inner Elf

Oh my word this sentiment made me laugh so darn hard. I thought everyone should get this card in November, such as a girls husband and family and inside should have your Christmas list....right??!  Sounds reasonable to me!  

This image came from no other than Whimsey Doodles.  I coloured the boots and leggings with copics and then used Christmas Stickles (I know, how appropriate,eh??). It is such a simple image and sentiment but in my small opinion it's worth it's weight in gold (good thing digis don't weigh much or I would be in the poor house).  

I used Me and My Big Ideas: Mambi paper.  It is such cute Christmas paper and lets face it, who doesn't have paper that needs to be used....lol (yes I know the hoarders hotline, but refuse to call, I still have a trail....).  

This card will be entered at Atlantic hearts Sketch Challenge, which I am proud to say I have been asked to join their team.....yeah me!!!  :). Happy Scrappin folks!

Much love,

Let It Snow...really??

Am I nuts?  It's the middle of the summer and I am thinking of snow!!!   Wake me up from this nightmare.....not so quick surfer dudes and dudettes!  I loved making this card!  I used a Penny Black stamp set called Let It Snow.  I stamped most of these images with staz on mostly because the other ink companies I have did not produce a good quality image....so not impressed!  

I actually did this as a challenge for the blog: Christmas card challenge.  

I used Stampin ups Not Quite Navy as the base; which, I then embossed snowflakes for creating my own 

background.  Then I stamped and coloured in the images.  I matted the sentiment as it seemed to help it "pop" on 

The snowmans' hand.  I ripped some white cardstock and rubbed some basic grey from Stampin up on the frayed

 top.  I hope you have a cheerific kinda day

Cheers

Santa's Time

I loved making a Christmas card in July. It was so fun as there was no pressure to get 10 cards completed in a certain amount of time.  This is a monthly challenge at scrap, paper, scissors (yeah, Helen!).  This image is from Stampin up and it was coloured with Stampin up markers.  I created an easel card for this because I loved the sentiments that came with the image.  The top sentiment says Wondrous Wishes and the bottom says: the joy of brightening a child's heart creates the magic of Christmas.  Both sentiments were embossed with black glitter embossing powder.  

I used Bo Bunny Christmas paper from their........line.  The green and tinsel thread are from my sewing basket (which definitely doesn't get used for sewing).  I used American Crafts red sparkly brads and  Christmas red Stickles.  

I had not used my punches in awhile so I dusted a few of those off and punched the lower boarder....it makes all the difference...lol.  Have a scrap happy day:). 

Cheers,

Thank you (fairy)

This digi is from Birdie Brown!  I love her images!  She creates such fun and whimsy little creatures :). I coloured this with copics.  I started with G05 and worked up in color from there.  I used B0000 to give the fairy a magic Ora. I used Recollections white frost glitter glue to give the wings a shimmery shine.

I used some paper that I have had for years from Basic Grey. I do tend to hoard Basic Grey as they are definitely one of my favourites!  It is from the line ......   I had never created rolled roses and had decided to give it a whirl-  they are fun and I love having them match the paper that you use. So much fun!  I then used a Recollections bling in the centre of each rosette.  The leaf is a prima.  I hope you enjoy this creation.  

I highly recommend checking out Birdie Brown, not only is her purchased digis awesome but she gives  super freebies too:). Happy day folks

Cheers,

Happy Birthday Princess

This card was inspired by my daughter.  It is her birthday very soon and it is a princess theme.  I used a sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  What a great place to go for a bit of great inspiration! Way to go Ladies :). 

I used an image from Pollycraft.  You can find her at www.pollycraft.co.uk.  She has the cutest digital stamps!  I love them all...so whimsy and cute.  I did use copics to color my princess.  I was not thinking though because I coloured her hair blond instead of brunette...lol.  I added American crafts rhinestones to her head band and and belt.  i also added doodlebug glitter to jazz up her dress.  I love my princess (best right now because she is sleeping- lets face it they don't make many demands while dreaming of fun on the playground). On that note I need to look for another project while the house is all mine:)

Have a scrap happy night (or day).

Cheers,
