Repeat Impressions Blog Hop~Bottom's UP!

Hello and happy Thursday!  I am so excited to share the latest release from Repeat The images are nice and big and so easy to work with.   Here are a few cards I have to show.

For my next two cards I wanted to try using the chalkboard technique.  The first on I was going for a sidewalk sign look, not sure I pulled it off, but I had fun with it.





And finally I had to use the beer image for my hubby.  He does enjoy and good cold beer now and again.

What If? Wednesday with Repeat Impressions

It is time for another sketch challenge at The House That Stamps Built.  Check out this great sketch Wendy came up with.
I used #9014 Fireworks that I inked with two shades of blue  and on red ink.  I then used a ruler and drew the blue border.  I finished it off with some brads and some red white and blue twine.  A super fast patriotic card you can recreate in a few minutes. 

Be sure to head over to The House That Stamps Built to get all the details of the challenge and don't forget  there is a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate. Check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.

Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge~Monochrome

It is time for another Designers Choice Challenge.  This time it is Deonna's  turn and her challenge is Monochrome. 
  I am loving the latest set Wine Time and decided to use #9503 Wine Glass and #9513 Wine a Little for my card.  I am really enjoying CAS cards lately so I kept it simple.  I have a hard time with a lot of white space, which you may have noticed by most of my cards.  However lately I am really digging it.  I colored the wine with copic markers and hand cut the flags. 

Now head over to The House That Stamps Built and get all the details of the challenge.  I hope you can join us in this challenge for a chance to win some fabulous stamps.  Don't forget to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.

What If? Wednesdays with Repeat Impressions

It is time for another sketch challenge at The House That Stamps Built.  Check out this great sketch Wendy came up with.

Here is my take on this classic sketch.
I wanted to go with a simple classic masculine card.  I used #9508 Ship (in a bottle) from the Wine Time series.  I think that this stamp is perfect for guy cards.  I keep the coloring very simple with prisma pencils.

Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge~Bird Watching

It is time for another Designers Choice Challenge.  This time it is Cheri's turn and her challenge is Bird Watching.  Great challenge!

I used #1704 Great Blue Heron which I colored with copic markers and accented with prisma pencils.  This is one of my favorite stamps and was being neglected for too long.  I kept the card simple and accented with only three little brads. 

Now head over to The House That Stamps Built and get all the details of the challenge.  I hope you can join us in this challenge for a chance to win some fabulous stamps.  Don't forget to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.

The GrillFather

Hi and Happy Monday!!!  Today I have a card to share that I made for Art Impressions Anything Goes~Masculine challenge.

I bought this GrillFather stamp a few weeks back and when I saw this challenge I knew it was time to get it inked up.  I colored him with copics and added a grill sticker.  This card came together pretty quick and has been sitting on my desk for a few days waiting for me to take a photo.

Thank you for stopping by.
