Critter Sketch Challenge #29

The theme for the Critter Sketch Challenge is fall. I also need a fall card for my card swap which is coming up. I was so excited about the technique used in the background for this card. I made the embossing plate from punched images. How cool is that. On this card I sort of used the debossed side. The sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up.

MMSC #69

This is my card for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. The stamps are from Stampscapes. I bought Stampscape stamps a while back and played with them. Recently a lady on one of my Yahoo groups started posting pictures using them. To say the least it made me get them back out and realize that I love the look. I am not perfect at doing it,but it is fun.

Scrap it with song Week 20

I got out my magnolia stamps and was trying to play around with them. I was trying to play around with paper piecing. The dress on this little girl is pieced with some paper I had in my stash. I love coloring with the copic markers, but I really like this look also. The theme this week at Scrap It With Song is Isn't She Lovely. That seems to fit with my little Magnolia girl. I did the background of this card with a crimper.

MMSC #68

Trying to use new stuff in my stash that has not seen ink. The sketch for this card came from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. The flowers are from Rubber Stamp Tapestry and the bike is Impression Obsession. It was embossed in black and colored with copic markers.

Jazzy Paper Designs #12

I need a thank you for my sister-in-law that took us to the airport when we went to Colorado last week. The colors for this card came from the challenge at Jazzy Paper Designs. The inspiration for the challenge is a Thelonius Monk Show Poster. The stamp I used is from Stampin' Up. I made the embossing plate to emboss the background.

MMSC #67

This is really pushing the limits. This is my card for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. We just got back from Colorado on Friday and I had to work all weekend. I needed a thank you card for the friends that we stayed with while we were there. I took over 400 pictures while we were there. Some people on my Yahoo group take pictures of the sky and then stamp on it. They are awsome. Really wanted to do that for the challenge, but need to practice so I went back to my comfort zone.

MMSC #66 and Stamp Royalty #32

One more card made this week. The sketch came from the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. The colors came from the challenge at Stamp Royalty. The colors were to be Chrry Cobbler, Old Olive, Not qute Navy and Daffodil Delight. The background embossing plate is from Fiscars and the butterfly punch is from Stampin' UP.
