Hand Drawn Basket

The IC599 challenge - Beautiful Baskets...I was so drawn to this Basket that I just had to draw it so I could use it on a card. I have an aunt that this is totally her style basket and I just had to create this card for her. Drew the basket and colored with pencils. Fussy cut the basket. Sponged in the grey BG and stamped the birthday sentiment sponging while it was still in the die cut frame. Popped the basket and sentiment on dimensionals. This aunt also really prefers clean and simple cards and I am sure she will love this card.

The F4A379 challenge - No Stamps

The MIX226 challenge - Inkless 

I think this meets both challenges since I did not stamp anything. I did use ink but only to color the inside of the EF for my stars so they would stand out.

Many paper layers of red, white blue and craft. Die cut the blue and DP stars and the word Thanks out of silver glitter DP. Finished the edge of the blue star with white gel Pen and added some silver liquid pearls to the edge of the navy blue strip.

Little Guy

The CAS430 challenge - Memories As a kid one of my favorite things to play with was bubbles. I could spend hours blowing bubbles. When I had my little guy I got bubbles for him and every kind of bubble maker I could find. I also took him to a science museum that had a fun bubble ring that you could bring up around you to surround yourself with a bubble. Stamped the image and colored with copics. Used the memory box circle die cut and put it behind the image then trimmed the image so the circles would peek out. Added some punched circles out of white sparkle DP on dimensionals and finished off with some stickles on some bubbles.

Christmas Coffee

The IC598 Challenge - Autumn of the Sew Paper Paint Blog, I found this amazing Card. I loved the layout and the way the colors looked on the layers of CS. I used the new distress oxide inks that I just got yesterday to create the green and red layer. Then using the TH corner die cut on the red layer. The coffee cup was stamped and colored with pencil. Used additional distress oxide ink on another white CS and die cut the spellbinders poinsettias adding liquid pearls to the centers. Finished off with some punched snowflakes, sprigs and a gold die cut. The DINSP0517 challenge - Inspiration from the photo there is a coffee image that says coffee to go and since I was already inspired by the coffee on the image I thought I could tie in the coffee from the image. The CCC17MAR challenge - Poinsettias I am way behind in my Christmas cards already so I used today's inspiration to change the card out to a Christmas card to add to my stash.

 The WT636 challenge - Hardware & Metal Accents

To create this image I applied the ink to the stamp with a marker for the green, brown and black. Then stamped it on the CS. Filled in the colors with copics once the image was stamped.

Stamped the wheat and cut to put behind the tractor. finished off with some gear accents that are die cut from a tomato paste tube that Sabrina sent me in a Teapot Tuesday exchange. They really die cut beautifully and looked great on this card.

This is another of the cards my aunt asked me to create for my uncle for next year. They live on a farm so this image is perfect for him.
