Roses on Paper Challenge #30

This is my take on the Roses On Paper Challenge Blog's #30 challenge. They had a wonderful sketch this week to play with. I really enjoyed this card. All the paper is from CTMH out of my scrap stash. Image is Magnolia. Sentiment is a dollar stamp out of the bargain bin. I used Nesties to highlight the image and some doodles to set it off. Image is colored using Copics and airbrushed on the edges. Martha Stewart punch for the accent strip behind. Thanks for stopping by my blog to take a look.

Time for some Mojo Monday #123

Here is my take on the sketch from Mojo Monday this week. I picked up this Inky Antics stamp a few days ago in Valley Junction but haven't had time to play with it. My Mom was complaining that I make all these cards but never send her one. So I had to pick an odd holiday to send her a card. I can't wait to see what she says. I have also set a goal to use up my scrap paper so the entire card including the base is made from my scrap pile.

In an effort to become a better blogger I now can blog from my phone. How cool is this?

Easter Card

I have been very busy this morning now that my craft space is clean and organized. Working on a few swaps that I need to get caught up on. Here is one for an Easter Card swap. I didn't want to do the plain old plain old fold so I tried a new card design from a tutorial I downloaded at Splitcoast. Give it a try it isn't that hard but the measuring properly is the key.

Whiff of Joy Guest Designer Card 3

I had another image already colored that I just had to make another card using the sketch. I love this color combo it is one of my favorites. This paper is unknown as it came from my scrap stash. Background stamps are Hero Arts and Stampablities. Main image is of course Whiff of Joy , as well as the accent in the corner and the sentiment. These stamps were part of the Fall stamp kit. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the border.

Whiff of Joy Guest Designer Card 2

Well I couldn't let the sketch go with just one card under my belt. I saw these butterflies in Hobby Lobby and was instantly reminded of the snowflake saying so I had to make a card using them. I also got a chance to play with my new airbrush. Still getting the hang of it. Stamp and saying are Whif of Joy of course, my favorite stamp company. Papers are by Bo Bunny and CTMH. I used a Hero Arts stamp for the snowflake cirlce background and Martha Stewart Punch for the small border at the bottom. Colored and airbrush with Copics. Memento inks used.

Whiff of Joy Guest Designer Contest

You have to check out what Katharina Frei has going on at her blog. She is hosting right now a guest designer challenge and has candy on top of that. I copied the details below for all of you to check out. I am so excited about this opportunity. I just love Whiff of Joy stamps they are among some of my favorites and most loved in my collection. For the challenge, there was a sketch to use. I decided since I have sort of been on a Valentine card kick lately to use one of the images from the Winter Stamp Kit and selected Willow with Gingerbread Heart. The pink paper with the dots is from Bo Bunny. The solid card stocks are Bazzill, my favorite paper. The small scrap of blue lined is unknown as it came out of my leftovers stash. The sticker flowers are Martha Stewart, and I used one of her border punches for the lines at the bottom, and the branch punch for the silver accents. The sentiment is Studio G out of the hot spot bin from Archivers. I used Memento black ink and then colored the image with Copics. So here is my entry. She met with teenager approval at my house and that has to give her something. So I am excited to look at all the entries so get going ladies and enter. I had a lot of fun coming up with my creation I am sure you will too. Go visit Katharina and give it a try, and if you haven't tried Whiff of Joy stamps give them a try too, the service is great, prices are good, and I think the images are some of the best in the world.
