Refreshing

I love the weekly challenges over at 'The Play Date Cafe.' This week's color challenge is to create a layout, card or project using teal, light and dark green. Also, over at Anything Goes, their theme was to use three layers on your project. The digital image used in the card is from Stretch N' Bubbles. Check out the shopping here. I used Flower Soft (Summer) for the 3-d effect for the flowers in the basket. The sentiment is from Create with TLC. I submitted this card over at 'Paper Cutz' their challenge was anything goes. The challenge over at 'Stamp Something' was use a digi on your project. Now that we are in the middle of Summer here in Missouri, I submitted this card over at 'Totally Papercraft' their theme was, Summer Fun.

Imagine

I wanted to share another card I made a few weeks ago at a Stamp Camp I attended. This card is designed using a technique called Black Magic. Click here for directions. The lace was made using the SU Medallion stamp. I loved how this turned out and what a clever way in using this stamp. I submitted this card over at 'Digi Doodle Shop's Best' their theme was; Anything, I Say ANYTHING GOES!!! Over at 'Crafty Sentiments Digital Design' their theme was; Monochrome, plus a hint of color.

Here is step for making the lace using the Medallion stamp:

1. Stamp Medallion with grey ink on white cardstock.

2. Cut out the medallion; slit up one side of the medallion to cut out the center circle (leave the white dots).

3. Run the medallion cut out through the crimper several times to loosen the fibers of the cardstock.

4. Put adhesive on back of the cardstock where the lace will be applied.

5. Carefully gather the lace along the edge.

6. If all else fails, watch a video here.

Monkey Business

This week's challenge #62 over at over at MyGrafico was to create a project with the theme, Anything Goes. So, I created this card using a digital stamp from the set called Monkey Fun By Primsy Doodles. The card layout was a challenge over at 'The Sweet Stop #69.' I also tried out a challenge over at 'The Play Date' which was to use dark brown, beige and green on our layouts. I loved how this combination turned out. I think the colors and image was a winning combination. Also over at 'Digital Tuesday' the theme was; use your scraps. I had the printed paper in my stash for awhile. So, all and all everything just worked perfectly this week. Don't you?

Cherish

I went to a Stamp Camp over the weekend, so the next few weeks I will post some of the projects we created. I love how this card turned out. It is created with Perfect Plum and Crumb Cake cardstock. The butterflies were created using Frost White Shimmer paint and saran wrap on glossy paper. We then used purple and light brown pastels over the top of the shimmer paint. Then placed the glossy cardstock in the Beatiful Wings embosslit. What do you think?

Punched Ballerina

I enjoy punch art and here is a Ballerina for you to enjoy. I have cased this idea from several sites about a year ago. The ballerina is made using SU punches. I love the pink and black combination. This card was submitted over at 'Cute Card Thursday' this week's challenge was What Ever!

Details:
- Using hot pink cardstock punch the following: one Bo Ho Blossom, one petal flower (cut leaving two petals), one 1 ½ circle (cut in half), one word window (cut tips off to make shoes, see photo) and one scallop oval.
- Using cream cardstock punch the following: two 1 ¼ circles and two word windows.
- Using black cardstock punch the following: one 1 ¼ inch circle (emboss and cut in half) and one ¾ circle (embossed).
- Using white cardstock punch one large oval (saying).
- Using white vellum punch out one scallop circle, then using temporary adhesive adhere the scallop vellum piece to scrap paper and rotate the scallop circle punch ¼ turn and punch again. This will give you the jagged edges to her tutu. Fold in half.

Vintage Wildflower

MyGrafico Challenge # 60 is called vintage/aged/distressed. The set we worked with is also this weeks Prize. The digital stamp set is the Wild Flower Stamps By Mels Brushes and is perfect for any occasion. I also submitted this card over at 'Cupcake Craft Challenges' their challenge was; Distressing.

Our challenge over at Mygrafico.com this week is to create a card with a vintage feel. Just by distressing the edges of your project with ink or with a tool, whatever you think looks the vintage part...have fun. The winner is going to win this digital image set.
