Make it Monday #81

The joys of working once a month at a local stamps store.  I get to creat cards for the shop.  Here is one for Make it Monday

Just Us Girls #128 and Stamping Scrapping.

The  challenge this week at Just Us Girls was to use light pink, moss and cream. I did not have the exact colors but tried to make do with what I had.  The second challenge is at Stamping Scrapping.  The challenge there was spring/pastels.  I think green and pink fit for spring.  Here is my creation.
I used colored pencils to color the image.  I used distress pads for the accent.  I also used Spellbinders dies for the wonderful cut outs.

Do You Stack Up #63

The challenge at Do You Stack Up this week was to use your favorite color. Well to say the least my favorite color is olive green.  I think I could use it on everything and have everything in my closet that color. The design came from a YouTube by Lorri Heiling.  I did change it up a bit.

Make it Monday #80

I found some beautiful tulips on line and knowing the beautiful colors of cardstock at Paper Temptress I just had to try them. The directions for the tulips can be found at Valita Designs and Fresh Folds. If you love punches go to her blog because she does some fantastic things. The beautiful pink card is made from Magenta Basis. The light green layer is Serpentine Mica Metallic. The leaves are Olive Basis. The flowers are Lemon Yellow Treasure, Mountain Rose Glimmer and I used some ink on the White Diamond, I finished off the look with some beautiful ribbon. I used a corner punch to make the slot for the ribbon. I cut the hole with a Spellbinders die. I raised that layer with dimentional dots so that I could insert the leaves and the flowers. If you visit Valita Designs take a good look around because she does some really interesting things. I love these tulips and they were so easy. This is my entry for the Make it Monday Challenge this week.

DYSU #62

The challenge at Do You Stack Up was to go green.  This is a technique from Technique Junkies called layered masking.  I just love this technique and keep going back to it.

The inspiration at Crazy For Challenges this week was Spring is in the air.  I made this card for a baby shower for a friend.  I just love the hot air balloon with the animals in the basket.  The stamp set is from Inky Antics.  I colored it with colored pencils and blended with gamsol.  It has been a while since I used the color pencils and I had a lot of fun with it.

Party Time Tuesday #58

The challenge at Party Time Tuesday this week is bling.  I had some sticky tape in my stash and some beautiful glitter from PK Glitz.  The sketch came from one of my Yahoo groups.  The flower is a new stamp I just got from Stampin' Up.  I also got the punch to go with the stamp set.
