SCS Inspiration Challenge #229

Actually did 2 cards for the challenge today~~ the 2nd one was late, but I instantly thought of this cute guy, Clear Dollar Stamps~ Butterfly Bunny,  when I saw this.  Don't you see why? LOL My first card is based off a few I have seen lately and this colorful toy.  I don't normally like circles but it made the cutest set of CAS cards~ so easy and the box was easy too - so ya know - I just had an easy and fun project! 

Featured Stamper - Theresa Momber

This is my first CASE of Theresa Momber being picked for Featured Stamper over at SCS.  We are also Featuring her over at STV - nothing wrong with dual featuring!  As per the "rules" I changed the colors, eliminated the sentiment, and I used this adorable bunny from Clear Dollar Stamps as my main image - [it is Easter after all]  Trudy, the illustrator of Butterfly Bunny has this awesome tutorial that I tried to follow.  I got close, but naturally I was missing one of the listed copics, so I had to improvise.  Not to bad (for me) as I have stated, I WILL get these copics mastered.. eventually~ LOL.  I'll be back - I just love Theresa's work not to do at least 2 CASES!!  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..

GKD Sketch & JUGS25

This card is for GKD's sketch challenge for her new releases this month.  [Some amazing stuff!]  My card colors come from JUGS25 challenge - light brown, green, yellow and blue, and the theme, and also inspired by this adorable cake colors from SCS Inspiration challenge 224.  Spring Card is for Crazy 4 Challenges 29. I used one of GKD's new stamp sets Sending Sunshine illustrated by Theresa Momber.  As you can see, I colored with copics and popped up the flower portion of the stamp.  I used white, lemon drop, ocean mist and K&C polka dot paper.  My ribbon is from Mike's.  Thanks for stopping by -- its Saturday so I will be back with more cards.

Stampin B's #50

This week Ms. Nancy challenged us to make a green monochromatic card.  I do like monochromatic cards so it really wasn't to much of a challenge!  On my card I colored my white ribbon green with copics and also my flowers!  That is a great trick I picked up in blog land somewhere!  As you can see, I am still working on sewing a straight line ~ LOL.  My Happy Birthday is a $1 Mike's stamp and I used my new K&C designer paper.  I had fun with this challenge!  Feel free to come on over to the Stampin B's and play this week!  We would love to see your wonderful cards!  Thanks for stopping by!!

p.s.  I sure hope I didn't miss anyone last week when I commented!   If I missed you I apologize!  A special thanks to my cyber friends from STV who joined in!  That is so cool!!

Green Frog

This covers 3 challenges - TLC264 ~ make your own background paper - CAS58 ~ color challenge green, brown & white - and Tina's Color Challenge~ green.  Now we're talking!  Last week I just couldn't get it together to stamp!  I work later today so I was able to get this card done in..... 25 min!!!  WOW!  Was I happy! Using GKD Hang in There illustrated by Theresa Momber,  I sponged my frog!  I started with the yellow (using a small dauber) and then did the green (using a big dauber) - I tell you a just love sponging!!  I colored the leaves and branches with copics.  My background is stamped with forest foliage and sponged with glorious green and forest foliage in the bottom and top corner for depth.  Added my Thanks and my gems and I was finished!  Now to get ready for work.....  Thanks for stopping by!!

Stampin B's #48

Joanne's challenge to us this week was to have a flower in the main image and buttons as embellies.  I love this type of challenge - easy for me to build my card.  I used cardstock from Mark's Finest Papers; Desert Sand, Mama's Favorite Purple and my favorite Ultra Smooth Snow Storm [this works awesome with copics]. Polka dot dp is from Mike's, and a small strip of summer sun.  My poppies are also from MFP, who sells Flourishes stamps - this set is Poppy Patch.  [To purchase or see all products from MFP, just click on the icon on my sidebar.]  My sketch is from Tracy's ESS #72 from last Thursday.

Again, please join us in our challenge this week over at Stampin B's!  We love to see your creations.  We are all making a strong effort to comment on all your cards too.  Face it -we all like comments!  Thanks for stopping by.
