Summer Fun!

7 Replies

Good Morning! Today I have a new card to show you. I wanted to show off the new tiddlyink digi I have and incorporated a couple of challenges into it. I also wanted to try out a new hair copic technique  I learned on youtube. For this card I used ivory SU as my base and distressed the sides a bit. I printed some beach theme background paper and cut out the embellishments ( wasn’t easy). The image and sentiment are both from Tiddlyinks. Thanks for stopping by!

Don’t forget to check out my new CHALLENGE BLOG. We are giving away monthly prizes and giveaways. We start our first challenge in July but we have a fun giveaway going on now.

Jen has brought us another sketch for us to play with this week. We are on Deconstructed Sketch # 55 and this weeks sketch is sponsored by The Greeting Farm. They are giving away one rubber stamp to the lucky winner! woohoo!! So for this sketch I used my first image “Little Artist Girl” by Lori Boyd designs. I am in love with these digi’s. They are too cute! I colored her in with copic markers and used several digi kits for the designer paper. I added V-shaped Twill ribbon as embellishments ( Which can be purchased at my shop). I added the sentiment  myself using Microsoft word. Thanks for stopping by and if you haven’t already check out our new challenge blog!

In the pic you really can’t see the light blue on her painters vest

Good morning all! So yesterday I received my order of glassine bags and just couldn’t wait to use them. Then I got my daily tiddlyink email about their new challenge and I knew the perfect image to use on my project. What better way to say happy fathers day then with some homemade cookies in a cute personalized glassine bag! I embellished the bag with green and natural twill ribbon (which can be purchased at my shop). I cut out a large flag tail on a misc designer paper and added twine and a button. The ribbon and twine can be purchased at my shop!

New Lawn Fawn stamps!

5 Replies

I’m so excited about Lawn Fawn’s new stamp release! Since Deconstructed Jen has a new sketch challenge I decided to try out lawn fawn’s Dad’s day stamp. This stamp is just tooo cute. I used Stampin Up’s olive cardstock as my base and embossed Kraft paper with cuttlebugs pebbles folder. I used my nestabilities to cut out the frame and also cut out the chair. I then stamped Lawn’s fawn sentiment included in the set, on satin ribbon. I also used Cappuccino bakers twine to embellish the cardthe card

I used their freebie digi stamp since I haven’t had a chance to order some of their cute stamps but the digi stamp is soooo adorable. I used digi paper as the background and some twill ribbon and twine which you can purchase over at my shop. I colored in the owl with my Copic markers. I really enjoyed this challenge. Thanks for stopping by!

Digi darla Challenge

5 Replies

Good evening everyone! It’s time for another awesome digi darla challenge! This week digi darla is sponsored by bugaboo stamps ( another fav digi store). This weeks challenge is called ” Let’s Celebrate” and what better way to celebrate any occasion than with “crab boat” from bugaboo stamps. So for this card I used a few techniques I learned from different blogs I follow. I printed the digi on two different patten papers to use the sails and then used an embossing pen to give it a 3D effect. Then I used the cloud mask template I downloaded from Bev Rochester to make the clouds in the background. I colored in the digi stamp with my Copic markers and cut out the waves by hand. I wrapped some twine and distressed the sentiment piece. I rolled up the “ahoy” piece to make it look like a rolled parchment. 20120529-234509.jpg
