Moody Blues

Moody Blues - We are having a color challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity this week. Just look at those beautiful blues!!!!! It is perfect for winter projects! 

I did a page for this challenge. I am so behind in my scrap booking. Cards are quicker, so I tend to do more of them, plus I really enjoy coloring with my Copics. I feel that the photos should be the center of attention on a scrap book page. 

Speaking of photos, this is one of my daughters and her children. Aren't they lovely from the back? LOL Artistically,  I really like this photo. 

This photo was taken a few days before Christmas. We did get snow for Christmas, just a few days after this this photo was taken.

My designer papers are DCWV  Arctic Wishes.

The vine die is a CL. The big blue flower is Recollections and the tiny flowers were made with HC stamps and dies. I speckled different size clear gemstones around the flower arrangement.

I used the same dies and stamp on this smaller arrangement.

This little seal is part of the paper. I just added a few gemstones to the center of the snowflakes. the year was cut with my Cricut using the Plantin School book cartridge.

This challenge is sponsored by Floppy Latte.

Purple Power

One of team members just got married and we are all so happy for her. If you would like to join the hop from the start go to the Creative Card Crew challenge blog. If you came from blog then you are in the right place.

 

 

Congatulation Jan! I wish you and your dashing groom all the happiness that your hearts can hold. You have so many exciting things going on in your live and we are all so happy for you!

 

 I am the end of the hop. You can find pictures of the lovely couple on Jan's blog.

 

Purple Power - Today's challenge at Creative Card Crew is Purple and lots of it! Purple is such a popular color, so many of you will love this challenge.

All of the papers are pieces that were in my purple scrap drawer. I love it when that happens, but regrettably I have no clue as to the manufacture is.

We are sponsored by Robyn's Fetish who gave us some images to play with. This one is Katie Computer Gal. I think she is adorable and you can get her here.

 

I colored Katie with Copic's and added some Stickles to her hair ties, sleeves and pant cuffs.

 



 

My flower was in my flower bin, I think it was part of a stem at one time. I used a brad in the center and added some Stickles to it.

 

The leaves are from Pizzazz Aplenty. I coiled some purple wire around a paintbrush and the swirl is a MD die.

 

My top sentiment is Hot Off the Press and the bottom is Autumn Leaves.

 

My card for Jan used an image by The Paper Shelter. I used papers from my black scrap drawer. I think they are The Paper Studio and DCWV.

 



 

My flower is Creative Impressions with a sparkly brad.

 

I had to add a feather as Jan wore one in her hair for her wedding.

 



 

Sentiment is Hot Off the Press punched with a SU punch and I added 2 pearls made with my silver chrome pearl pen.

Basic Black

Basic Black - Here is my card for Creative Card Crew. Todays challenge is to use black cardstock on you project. I think it is an under used cardstock color for cards.

My DP is DCWV The All Dressed Up stack. I inked all of it with Broken China distress ink.

Here is my image. She is Uptown Angel by our sponsor for this challenge, Kenny K Downloads. Isn't she the greatest? She was homework for my Copics class. We are working on Hispanic skin and hair. I'm not completly happy with it, but I will keep trying.

I added Stickle to her earring, belt, trim on her shirt and shoes.

I cut my MA swirl with black cardstock, then added gemstone to the leaves. The corners recieved some sparkle with a Recollections gemstone sticker.

My butterfly was one that I bought at a booth at the scrapbooking convention in Dallas.

My sentiment is Studio G.

I had a lot of fun making this card and I hope that you will join in our fun challenge at Creative Card Crew.

Pastel Love

Pastel Love - This weeks challenge at Sew Many Challenges is yellow, pink and turquise. I used Sew Many Cards super sweet Bear in the Spring.

My DP is proably a single sheet that I bought eons ago. There is no brand or name on it, so I have no clue as to who made it.

My image is colored with Copics. I added some raspberry fizz ultra fine flower soft on the flower centers, the added some ultra fine glitter on the flowers.

The hearts were punched with Creative Memories heart punches and embossed woth CB script embossing folder. I then added more of the ultra fine glitter to it. The other pink cardstock was embossed with another CB folder with flowers.

The blue card stock was embossed with the same CB folder as the pink. The yellow cardstock came embossed with the tiny tri of dots. The butterfly was punched with a MS punch.

Everything was inked with Victorian velvet distress inks and I used a yellow Viva Decor pearl pen on the butterfly and the 3 corner pearls.

Come and play with us at Sew Many Challenges!!!!
