Colored Egg

Colored Egg - Time for a new challenge at Creative Card Crew. I am really excited about this challenger!!! We want to see Easter Critters!!! All those sweet and fluffy critters that go with Easter; bunnies, chicks, lambs and so on!!! I am so ready for spring...lol

My image is Tired Bunny and is by our sponsor, QKR Stampede. Their images are really fun!

I colored tired bunny with Copics, cut with a SB and added some Stickles to the egg.

My sentiment is PTI and my dp is Jillibean Soup.

Snowy Scene

Snowy Scene - Today starts our stripe challenge at Creative Card Crew. Stripes are so fun to use, so we hope that you will join us. Our challenges run for 2 weeks, so you have lots of time to enter.

My designer paper is Fancy Pants, Merry Little Christmas paper pad.

My image is one of our sponsors, QKR Stampede. They have some really great images and I hope you check them out.

I colored it with Copics, in one of my favorite styles of coloring night scenes. Color in a medium tone and add shadows with a W5 and when you fill in the sky with the BV and add some white details and the scene takes a life of its own. This time I did add some chunky glitter for some extra sparkle.

I added some SB snowflakes with the fine glitter on top.

The pine cones and sentiment is Paper Trey Ink stamps and dies.

Shepard at Night

Shepard at Night - Hi, time for a new sketch at Seems a Little Sketchy!!! 

I turned the sketch and forgot to turn it back to the original position. It helps me visualize it better to turn it the the angle that I am doing it in.

My image is Shepard by our sponsor, QKR Stampede. I used a shading technique that I learned from Sandy Allnock. Sandy also used a Shepard for her card.

I colored the image with Copics and cut with a SB.

My DP is Farm House's Norland.

Choo Choo

Choo Choo - What fella doesn't love a train? All of the fellas at my house adore trains, so the first thing that popped into my head at the mention of a male card was train!

Our masculine challenge at Creative Card Crew is sponsored by Marianne Designs and QKR Stampede. This image is QKR Stampede. I printed it our in sepia tones and used Copics to add some shading to the train. I used Weathered Wood and Old Paper distress inks to add a bit more color. The image was cut with a SB and that was also what I used to get the border.

My DP is MME Oliver. The sentiment is SU, as is its matching punch. I again used my distress inks.

Slice of Life

Slice of Life - Today starts a new challenge at Seems a Little Sketchy. 

My Designer paper is Day to Day by Doodlebug Design Inc.

Here is our sketch. I nice, 3 panel design. The sketch for the challenge following this one is on the future sketch page at Seems a Little Sketchy. This way you can use it to create a card for a future sketch. I like to work ahead on DT cards, but I usually wait so that I can enter it into a sketch challenge. That is why we post our sketches way in advance.

We are sponsored by QKR Stampede. I colored "Slice of Life" with Copic's. The shaped die cut is Life style Crafts.

My corner die cut is Breezy Branches by SCACD.

I finished off the card with a bow and stickpin.

Got Flu?

Got Flu? - KISS (Keep It Simple and Sweet) is not my normal style, but I loved making this one. 

It is my DT card for Creative Card Crew. We had a lot of redraws, so please check there if you have entered Creative Card Crew in the last 2 months.

My image is Roosting by QKR Stampede. Isn't it a fabulous image? 

I colored it with Copics. I marbleized with Copic's for the background. I am taking a new Copic class that is all about backgrounds. I have been coloring for a while now and decided that it was time to step up my game and start doing something with the backgrounds. Marie Gambler is the instructor and her backgrounds are fabulous!

Turtle Cop

Turtle Cop - I have Cal's birthday card for my DT card for Seems a Little Sketchy. We have 2 great sponsors this challenge, Bugaboo and QKR Stampede. We are still a little know challenge and don't get a lot of entries, so you stand a great chance of winning one of the two terrific prizes. We are also fortnightly, so you even have two weeks to make your card/project.

We have ow done 50 sketches and this one was the very first sketch!!!!

My image is Turtle Cop by QKR Stampede. My grandson, Cal loves turtles and I thought he would love a card made using this fabulous image. I colored him with Copics.

I used some hemp cord and a beaded charm.

Giddy Up

Giddy Up - It is time for another challenge at Creative Card Crew and this challenge is sponsored by QKR and Pizzazz Aplenty. Two prizes are up for grab's!

My  image is QKR Stampede's Ride'em Cowboy. I colored it with Copics and added the clouds with Tumbled Glass distress ink. I edged the image and my DP ( Kaiser Craft Secret Bird Society Collection) with a new product that I just picked up at the Scrap booking Convention in Arlington that I attended. It is Viva Decor 3D Stamp Paint. I love the sparkle in it.

The snails shell received a some Diamond Glaze to make it shiny.

My stick pin is made with a lot of different beads. I added this fun feather to the beads. My favorite place to shop for beads is at Pizzazz Aplenty. Judy carries such great stuff and she has awesome prices!

I added my sentiment (Stampin Up) to a double bow made with twine.

My cards are paper that was in the paper pad. I just cut them out and added some Fran-tage to it. I am having problems with the embossing powder flying off my paper. Does anyone have a solution to this?
