TLC280 - Thanks

Hello! Been busy here in Winchester. LOL! I made this card 2 days ago and have not found the time to post about it but here I go.

Here is a sketch from CPS-Card Sketches. I also participated in Try a new technique over at Splitcoaststampers. It was called Paper Posies. My understanding was to use something other than a pre-made flower. So I made my own flower, a little fabric, hot glue and a brad to top and voila.......

The pattern paper is from Pebbles Inc, Twitterpated collection. I added the glitter to the paper. I felt it matched the fabric flower a bit because it also had a bit of glitter on it. I used my handy dandy sewing machine to put some stitches around the edge, used a sentiment stamp from Basic Grey's Green at Heart collection, Tree Hugger stamp set. It is actually supposed to say "Thanks for everything you do" but I cut/separated the stamp. I like the script on the "thanks" and I use it a lot so I cut the other part off.

The picture turned out brighter than I originally thought it would be so you can't really tell the color of the card base but it is from SU called Brushed Silver. It's like a metalic-y grey color. Pretty cool.

Supplies:

Stamp: Tree Hugger (Basic Grey - Green at Heart collection)

Paper: Twitterpated (Pebbles Inc), Brushed Silver (SU)

Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento)

Misc: hand made fabric flower

Happy Crafting!!

Happy Monday! FS178

Good Morning! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Other than my truck getting broken in to my weekend was pleasant. I made this card yesterday to try and calm my nerves from all the junk going on with the truck and the money it will cost to fix it. BOoooo!!! So I went over the SplitcoastStampers and participated in their Sunday Featured Stamper challenge.

Here is a link to cookiebaker's gallery and the card I chose to case. I think I need to go shopping because I am running out of embellishments to use.

The cardbase is Grey cardstock from Stampin' UP! I used the Olivia collection from Basic Grey. I also used a layer of Whisper White and Old Olive cardstock from SU. The butterfly is cut out with the Butterfly punch from SU. The silver brads are also from SU. The stamp is from Stampendous that I got from my local craft shop. It's called Hugs and Laughs.

So there you have it. I am about to run off to the store (sucks my window is busted out!)and go grocery shopping. Shopping these days with 3 lil ones has been a bit stressful but I need to get out of the house so wish me luck, LOL!

Supplies:

Stamp: Hugs and Laughs (Stampendous)

Paper: Basic Grey, Whisper White and Old Olive (SU), Olivia collection (Basic Grey)

Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento)

Misc: silver brads (SU)

Happy Crafting!!

Happy 4th of July! - SSS63

Well this is not a 4th of July card but I was at a loss for title names. LOL! I made this card yesterday but it was pretty busy and I didn't have a chance to upload it. I participated in Sweet and Sassy's Saturday sketch challenge over at The Sweet Stop! I love their sketches and try to participate as often as I can.

So here is the sketch:

And here is my card:

This is my first real attempt at using and coloring an image on my card. I used Prisma Markers to color the image. How did I do? I can do shading a little on the hair but maybe I just didn't have the right colors or enough colors because the rest of my image isn't really shaded but overall I like it. The card base is Grey cardstock from SU and the pattern paper is from Basic Grey's Olivia collection. The buttons and brads are also from SU as well as the ribbon. Heck I think the white cardstock is also SU except for where I stamped the image that is a water color paper. So there is my card for today. Hopefully when the kids go down for a nap I will be able to craft again. I am feeling a bit bummed today, when I woke up this morning I found out my truck was broken in to last night. Some punk made his way up and down our street, broke in to 5-6 cars, stealing change, GPS's car radios and breaking out several peoples windows. Ours was one of them. So I am hoping crafting a little will make me happy.

Hope you all have a fabulous 4th of July!!!

Supplies:

Stamp: Stamp from Greeting Farm (I think)

Paper: Grey and Whisper White cardstock (SU), Olivia collection (Basic Grey)

Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Prisma markers

Misc: Buttons, Brads and Ribbon all from SU

Happy Crafting!!
