Happy Summer

Hello and Happy Friday!  Today I have a card I made for the Greetings Card Challenge at The Outlawz.  This week the challenge is to create a card with a summer vacation theme.  My family goes camping a lot in the summer and we always have watermelon.  There is something about it tasting so much better in the great outdoors, kind of like bacon.  So here is the card I made.

 

I used Bugaboo's Summertime Peekers watermelon.  Isn't she the cutest? She is colored with copics.  The papers are from American Crafts.  I hope you can join us this week, there is a chance to win some wonderful digis from Bugaboo Stamps.  You can get all the details at The Outlawz.  While you are there be sure to check out the rest of the DT's fabulous creations.

Thank you for stopping by.

What If? Wednesday Sketch with Repeat Impressions

Hello it is time for another sketch from Repeat Impressions. Here is the wonderful sketch.

 

Here is the card I came up with using one of the cupcakes from this Pairings set.

 

This was a fun sketch and card to work with.  Things have been a little sad for me lately so it felt really good to work with some happy colors.  We would love it if you played along with us.  You can get all the details and see the rest of the DT's lovely cards on the Repeat Impressions blog.

Stamp of the Week with Repeat Impressions

The stamp of the week this week at Repeat Impressions is this elegant stamp Wedding/Anniversary Border, and it is available this week only for 50% off with the discount code found at Repeat Impressions blog.   Please visit the blog for all the details and to see the other Rock Star's cards using this stamp.

 

This is the card I created using it.  

My sister and her hubby are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary next week so this was prefect timing for me to create an anniversary card for them.  To make the numbers I took to pieces of number grunge board and inked them up with embossing ink.  I then started adding layers of fine detail silver embossing powder.  Adding each layer as the last layer was still hot and melty.  There must be about 10 layers on them to get a nice smooth finish.

Happy Anniversary!

Hello it is time for this weeks Greeting Card Challenge at The Outlawz!  This weeks the challenge is to create a wedding or anniversary card and use gold or silver.

I used The Northwoods by Theresa Momber from Gina K Designs.  I started by using post it notes so I could create a horizin and sponged with mementos in yellows and oranges.  To finish I stamped the tress, then with copic marker C0 I added in some shadows of the trees.

I used Charlie from Stamp Art Designs.  Isn't he just darling?  I love his sweet face and he reminds me of my son when he was younger.  Charlie is colored with copics.  To create the background I crumpled up some sage card stock and distressed the edges.  I then added the layer of burlap and added the sentiment/sign.
