Winnie&Walter WCMD Challenges

Hey Friends, I've got some World Card Making Day Challenge cards to share. I'm playing along with Winnie and Walter Challenges. OK, I stayed very close to the sketch and pretty much cased Gayatri's card, although I used Martha Stewart stamps instead of Winnie and Walter. I love it! BUT I had to try many times to get it to even look decent, this is probably the 5 or 6th try. I used Seedless Preserves Distress Ink for the sponged inking.

This is for Heather P.'s Challenge. The color challenge is Yellow, Mint, Kraft, Aqua.  Opps, I forgot the Kraft color as I was intently focusing on making this one several times as well before I could get it halfway decent. LOL! I used "The Party" stamp set by Winnie and Walter. The confetti stamped white panel is covering a water colored panel stamped with the sentiment. Then I added chevron washi tape to the top and bottom.

WCMD

Hey Friends, Saturday was World Card Making Day, as you know. I decided to pull out this retired Kraftin Kimmie Stamp called Haunting Hilda and play with some Distress Inks. I used a SU water brush tool and ink pads smooshed on a craft sheet. I regret stamping the bats at the top but, oh well. I was experimenting! 

I used Mojo Monday Sketch 417 and used a some Lawn Fawn Paper (the purple), some American Crafts paper (the black) and Bazzill card stock. 

Thanks for visiting!

Merry Monday 173

Hey there Friends, I've been MIA lately but I thought I'd play in the Merry Monday Challenge 173 this week. The challenge is to make a rainbow-colors themed card. I was going to stamp some rainbow snowflakes but then this Newton's Nook set was in the mailbox so I had to play! I colored the octopus with Copics and stamped the other images.

It's called Sea-sons Greetings and has cute nautical images, I won a gift cert. and chose this set.. I used Freshly Made Sketches 206 as a starting point and changed a few elements. 

Some other challenges I'm submitting to are:

CTD 360

Hey Friends, I was so inspired by the Colors in this week's Color Throwdown 360 because I've been wanting to use Chipped Sapphire and Seedless Preserves Distress Inks in a watercolor background for months. I have seen others use these colors and I adore them together.

 I am super pleased at how the background came out. I just painted water on Strathmore Water Color paper and dropped the ink colors on with my brush. ( I had smooshed them on to a craft mat and spray it with water.) I let the water spread the colors around and only helped it a little bit and air dried it. 
Then I copic-colored the ADORABLE ghosts from the new Lawn Fawn Booyah set and fussy cut them out. I stamped a tree from Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather set in back on SSS Fog CS and die cut it. 

I them set about making a shaker card with my new to me LF Stitched Square dies. I used them to cut the black fun foam too that I used to pop up the frame. 

Then the  pièce de ré·sis·tance was to add the bat sequins from Recollections, So Fun!!!!

A sentiment was heat embossed as well. This card was a labor of love, to say the least.

SSSC286

Hey Friends, how's your week going? I'm well but my Brother in Law is in the hospital with an unknown illness. So I got right to work last night and made him a card with this very little-used set I got from Whimsy Stamps called "Up, Up and Away".

I started by looking for a sketch, as I always do when I don't know where to start. I found Karen's wonderful sketch for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 286. When I saw the circle, I knew it would be the perfect backdrop for a inked cloud scene to place the hot air balloons on. The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps too and coordinates with the stamp and die set. The paper is Echo Park Jack and Jill Boy. Love it!

Some textured trim and PPP sparkling clear sequins finish it off. I love it when my vision for a card works. I knew this set would be great for masculine get well cards.

Some other challenges this card fits are:

Lawn Fawn Texture Challenge Take 2

Hi Friends, I thought I'd give the "Texture" challenge at Landscaping Challenge another try. My other entry wasn't as textured as I would have liked so I tried again. My texture comes from the water color paper and the embossed background. I'm using Sketch Saturday also.  

The Lawn Fawn sets I used are Party Animals (which I won for being the Queen of Green a few weeks ago, YIPPEE!), So Thankful, Falling for you, and Riley's Alphabet. I used some older LF paper too and LF twine. 
I water colored the blue sky background on the square die cut with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, colored the pumpkins and bear with Copics and stamped the rest of the images with various Momento Inks. 

Hope you enjoyed my share today. See you soon!

Mojo Monday 414

Hey Friends, I decided to go back to my old style of card making for this card. But the sketch is not old, it's this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch. I used a retired Flourishes image, colored with Copics, paired with some small scale patterned paper. I hadn't used any of this lace from my stash in a very long time. 

My Mom just sold our family home after 40 plus years and has moved into a retirement community. This card is going to her. Thanks for visiting.
