Colour Crazy Challenge - Strawberry Fields

Hello and Happy Friday!  Today begins a new bi-weekly challenge at the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog and our sponsor this round is the Cute and Creepy Oddball Art Co.  For my team project, I've colored the Strawberry Fields Digi Stamp and created a 5.5" square Birthday card.

I die cut the focal image and mat using nesting circle dies from Kat Scrappiness.  The papers are a digital download set from Polkadoodles and the sentiment was computer generated by me.

I've followed a card sketch I found by Googling "Square Card Sketches".  I utilize sketches when I've run out of ideas and my card layouts start looking the same.  I love this image, it's nicely drawn and an easy color. 

I popped the main focal image and sentiment strips on craft foam for dimension and added light blue gems for a finishing touch.  It's hard for me to call a card finished without adding gems and enamel dots, what are your "must haves" on your projects?

Please visit us at Colour Crazy this round, we so enjoy seeing all the entries.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Inspiration Station Challenge #12 - Sweet Treat!

Hello!  It's time for a new fortnightly challenge at The Inspiration Station and the theme is Sweet Treat!  Now that's a "delicious" theme....see what I did there?  LOL

The Inspiration Photo for this round is:

For my design team project, I went with a Cupcake Birthday theme and used an "old school" stamp..you know, one that's mounted on a block, that I purchased from the Dollar Bin at Hobby Lobby.  It caught my eye because it was a $1 but I also liked the whimsical cupcake.

I've colord the image with Sepctrum Noir Alcohol Markers, created a mat with Rainbow Confetti Slimline paper from Kat Scrappiness and another old school block stamp for the sentiment; found during the same Hobby Lobby trip for a $1.

I die cut the focal image using a circle die and mounted on craft foam for dimension.  Everything was assemblied on a 110 lb. cardbase of Neenah Solar White Classic Crest.  For the finishing touch, I've added Mermaid Tail Pearls from Kat Scrappiness.  

Please stop by the challenge blog at The Inspiration Station and join the fun.  We would love to see how the photo inspires you.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges #459

Hello!  It's time for another challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge Blog and the sponsor this round is All Dressed Up Stamps.  I had the pleasure of using the sweet digital stamp Cupcake for my design team project:

I kept the card simple, for me anyway, due to the rush of Thanksgiving and decorating the home for Christmas this past week and weekend.  It was nice to sit down with my alcohol markers and color...so relaxing.

I took some liberties in adding some of my own design elements to the original drawing.  I also tried to limit the color palette to just 4 main colors.  

Please join us this week over at Penny's for a chance to win some awesome digital images from our Sponsor All Dressed Up Stamps.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Creative Knockouts - Coffee and Cake

Hello Everyone!  I hope you're all well and looking forward to your weekend!  Today starts a new challenge at Creative Knockouts and the sponsor this round is SheepSki Designs, the theme is Anything Goes.

For my design team project today, I used SheepSki's image Coffee and Cake.  I love this image and did some fussy cutting; separating the cake and the coffee to create a scene for my A2 sized card.

My designer papers are from the Bo Bunny Sweet Moments Collection 6x6 paper pad.   I picked up this pad at Tuesday Morning for $2.99...can you believe it?!  What a score!

Please join us at Creative Knockouts for the challenge, we would love to have you and would love to see your beautiful creations.

Also, I would like to invite you to the The Paper Funday Challenges, it's a new month with a new theme and a great sponsor.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
