Stampin B's #53

This is MY week for the challenge.  We have kind of changed direction to make it easier for you all to JOIN IN and play!  This week I have a simple color challenge - Turquoise, Green & White. (No surprise there huh - LOL)  I just love these colors and with Spring in the air I thought they would work well.  My sketch is what I created from Stampin Vacation's Build a Sketch.  I really enjoy this challenge - Denise added 2 more pieces [we are up to 12 at this point] - she chooses what pieces we use and it is up to us to build the card.  Having the pieces in front of you makes it easy to move them around and see how you want to build your card.  I have been featured the last 2 months!  How fun is that!


Anyway, I used my new stamps from Clear Dollar Stamps Blooming with Blessing to make this card.  Aren't these umbrellas awesome! - I love the way they stamp, and they are acrylic stamps so lining them up is so much easier!  [I really struggle with a stamp positioner]   I used nesties Label 9 as my main layer, I used my cb folders dots and stripes to represent rain.  Okay peeps - done with this one - I sure hope you join in the fun with the Stampin B's~~ I would love to see my cyber friends!

Thanks again for stopping by - I so appreciate it~~

SC275 & CC265 - Blooming

This is for SCS  sketch and color challenges - late for one early for another~~ but hey, I got them both done!  Color challenge was close to coco, teal, and celery.  Not sure I will use these again, but it was worth a try.. I used the new release Clear Dollar Stamp set Blooming with Blessing - this is definitely a different aspect of this set~ I started out with something else in mind and low and behold I ended up with this card.  What do you think?  I'm on the fence I think because there is no white to sponge ~~LOL.  Thanks for stopping by~~

Another Inspiration Card for SCS

This William Chambers Millinery site is so unique - NEVER would I imagine anyone wearing these, but they sure are fun to look at.  I chose this hat to make this card.  I used the blue from her eyes for the teal I used.  This card also covers Becky's Compose a Card #7 - I love this series.  I love having "help" in layouts for cards.  And, this is also for Crazy 4 Challenges - kraft color for a card base~ this is NO problem for me since I adore kraft!  Ladies - thanks so much for your challenges~~ I have so much fun playing!    I used my fun new Fashionably French set for Clear Dollar Stamps - I paper pieced AND cuttlebugged this fabulous dress - I loved the effect with the striped folder.  Of course, the fabulous shoe (which I colored with copics) - an outfit is simply not done without the shoes~ LOL.

Thanks for stopping by~~

Fun at the Farm Book

This is my first DT sample for Clear Dollar Stamps.  I have to say I really had fun with this stamp set Fun at the Farm to make this book.  My 2 year old niece is learning animal sounds so how perfect is this for her!  I made this for the F4A6 challenge over at SCS  an accordion card, along with the Inspiration challenge.  My inspiration was this hat.  I thought it looked like the farmers hat... 

I would like you all to notice that I did use my COPICS to color all my farm animals!  I think I did okay the light source is still eluding me, but the more I see samples, and play with them, I will get it!  I have to laugh tough, I didn't really color good as a child ~~ an artist I am not!  I need to work at it!  LOL

Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment - I love to hear from you!!  Later..
