Gina K Designs Design Team Challenge

Well it is that time again, when Gina post her challenge to win a spot as a Guest Designer.  This month she challenged us to use a technique from one of her videos on StampTV.  If you haven't watch any of these videos then you are in for a treat.  Gina does an fantastic job showing how to do all types of neat techniques.  I picked Nestabilites Highlighting.  I took the highlighting a step farther and used some post it notes to create a scene background.  After sponging the sand, sea and sky I gave it some texture with the sand stamp from the Aloha stamp set.  I also use a white gel pen to make some waves in the sea.  I also used the sketch from this weeks sketch challenge on StampTV.  Thank  you for stopping by.

Inspiration Challenge there is still time

I a late getting this on my blog.  To be honest I have been so busy and feeling very creative.  This is from my weekly inspiration challenge on StampTV.  I found this gorgeous stain glass medallion on  Cornerstone Emporium.  As soon as I saw this I knew it had to be the one for this week.

Here is the card I made.  I was inspired by the circular shape.

I used the doily from Nana's Needlework.  I only colored the center section and then cut it out with a nestabilites circle.  After cutting out the circle medallion I inked it with versamark ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder
 repeating about three times until I had a nice smooth finish.  It is hard to see in the photo but I stamped the entire image on the base to give a shadow effect. 

There is still time to play along and the odds at this time or good as there hasn't been very many people enter yet.

Here are the details to enter.

Hello everyone I hope you are having a fabulous weekend.  Too bad it is nearly over, as the weather here has been gorgeous!!  I am finally starting to feel better I can't beleive how much that sinus/eye infection took it out of me.  I made this card for a couple of challenges the first being for Copic Creations to color a bird, well as soon as I saw that challenge I knew that I wanted to ink up one of the birds from Theresa's newest set Aloha.  I also used the colors from Carla's color challenge on StampTV.   Which I am barely getting in before the deadline.  The colors for the challenge are orange, green and turquoise ad hard combo for me until I releazied that it is a perfect combo for a tropical card.  I wish you all a wonderful week.  Thank you for stopping by.
