Sorry for Your Loss...

FS544 challenge - is the Amazing Ann Greenspan. Somehow I managed to get a different crafter on SCS link and made a card from their inspiration card. So as soon as i realized I went back to the craft cave and made a couple quick sympathy cards to honor the wonderful friend Ann. I chose this wonderful card for inspiration: HERE. Die cut the BG with a triangular BG die and layered one on white and one on black. Die cut 4 feathers in black and white and added the sentiment. Finished off with sequins as Ann had on her card.

Sorry for Your Loss...

Something to be Thankful

FS544 Challenge - is the very talented Ann Greenspan (aka yaleann7). I love so many cards in her amazing gallery. This Card caught my eye and I just had to create these cards. Stamped the leaves & sentiment and added splatters to the CS with grey distress ink and a paintbrush. Added stickles to the leaves and once dry tied off the hemp twine on the leaves.

Winter Wishes

IC605 challenge - Dessert Bites I found this very lovely Image and the teacup drew me in for a closer look.

CCCMAY17 challenge - ink up that new stuff - the teacup images are a new image sent to me by my friend Jan (Precious Kitty)

I colored the coffee cups shades of blue like the one in the image and layered on the sentiment ovals with dimensionals. Used a snow EF on the bottom and blue snow paper on the top. Finished off with a blue ribbon and a punched snowflake.

Cats Eyes

FS543 challenge is the super talented kraftyaunt - Beverl. Wowza if you have not seen her gallery you should check it out. I found this wonderful Card. It reminded me of this fantastic Technique Junkies cat. The image was sent to me by my friend Jan (Precious Kitty). Colored the image with copics then added Crystal Effects to the eyes to give them some dimension and interest.

Laura

FS542 challenge - the amazing gallery of AJ Bodine, aka rutabagapie. I found this brilliant Card.

My friend Jan (Precious Kitty) sent me a stack of red cards with some DP glued down. I was searching for ways to use the stack of started cards and when I saw the FS card breaking up the left side of the panel it really was a great way to layer my card for breaking up the card base.

Using this wonderful Unity image colored with copics and layering on black CS I added some memory box die cuts to give her some pop and added the rose layer of DP to the top of the CS. Finished off with some liquid pearls.

I showed this card to my DH and he said this is Laura. Laura is his sister. So I think I will need to mail this card to her. She will love knowing her brother saw her in this image.
My apologies I had thought I grabbed the copics I used for this darling girl but I put them away too soon.

IC604 challenge - Celebrating Pattern Paper

I loved the video that talked about how to pair up patterned paper. It suggested:

1 large print (Dark Brown)
1 medium print (Bold Stripped)
1 small print (Pink Stripped)
1 solid contrast (Black & Cream)

Keep only 1 Multi Colored Pattern (Stripped)

Playing with my scrap bin I decided the patterned pieces & layout. I added the bold solid brown color to get the pieces to pop off of the card and laid out the pieces. I popped the top piece on dimensionals and added a few gems here and there. Super video on today IC challenge, you should check it out HERE.

This wonderful Unity image was sent to me a Teapot Tuesday card from my wonderful SCS friend Carla. Thank you Carla, I loved playing with this image. She is colored with pencil. I also finished the image off with some small punched hearts and the large butterfly that both were sponged with some pink to pick up the pink in the DPs.
