WRITE ON! / CQC #197, DS #109 and Tuesday Trigger...

Hello! It's been a few days... I have a card today for quite a few challenges, they are listed below! We have been knee deep in Bible School this week - I love it! I do the music and also help with the 2-5 year olds - we had 21 the first night! They are so fun!

I used Learning Curve, Alphabet Soup and Wish Big. All from the Alley Way Stamps! I stamped the pencil twice to make it look longer and then covered the overlap with the gingham.

          

This card is for colourQ, the Deconstructed Sketch, and also the Tuesday Trigger!

      

Bye for now...

AVIARY [U R TWEET] / CQC #47, 2S4Y #59 & MFWTT...

When I picked these colors for the colourQ a few weeks ago, it didn't think they'd be a big hit - but I LOVED them... imagine my surprise to see similar colors as the Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World - lol!

So today's card is a triple combo! I paired the 2 challenges above with the sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You. The colors of the Trigger seemed funky & fresh & the room in has such a giant view... like you're sitting in a swanky bird cage looking out at the world! Both were a perfect match for the theme & colors of my colourQ card!

I knew I wanted to use these super sweet bird cages for these colors. I am a bird person. I have always had birds, always been on the lookout for antique bird cages, birds are just the best! I love that they are so "IN" right now! I'm definitely not finished playing with this set!

Bye for now!

ALL THE BEST / Tuesday Trigger - An exercise in Exotic...

I have never played along with the Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger, faithfully posted by Cath - but I have lurked there, always planning to play, but always getting sidetracked...

When I saw this oh-so-tempting Tuesday Trigger, I immediately knew what I wanted to do! I 'loosely' based this card on Taylor's sketch this week - just cover up the bottom half of my card, take 4 or 5 steps back and squint... see? The sketch is sorta there!

If you pop by here often, you KNOW how much I [heart] my embossing folders! After embossing, I added some ink to the raised parts. The copper piece is fairly complicated, but I'll be doing a tutorial on that soon... I will tell you that it involved a pop can, a die, an EF, versamark, chunky copper EP, and Copics.

Thanks so much for dropping by!
