Daffodils

I am so excited, I finally have a complete collection of copic sketch markers...except for the eight fluorescent colours, of which I am not partial. I have them all in a big basket that I keep by my seat on the couch. I like to colour while watching tv at night with my family. I am 36 and I love to colour! I even stay in the lines...most of the time :-) I am also giddy because I finally broke down and ordered a copic air brushing system. I want to improve the backgrounds on my images, grass, sky, ocean....I cant wait to make some hopefully fabulous creations.

I had fun using my copics for this card. The current challenge (#25) on the copic creations blog is flowers. The sketch for this challenge is from Friday Sketchers challenge #97, Over on the crazy for challenges blog, challenge #32 is to use 1 ribbon, 2 brads or buttons, and 3 punches. The Cute Card Thursday challenge #107 is Mono Mania. Any guesses on my colour?!?

In at the Last Minute...

My computer has been having issues so I am reeeaaalllly late posting my entry for this weeks critter challenge blog. The challenge was a sketch with a twist to use Gingham somewhere on the card. I chose to use plaid paper for the background since it is sort of Gingham and plaid goes well with golf!

Stamps: High Hopes, PaperTrey Ink sentiment
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers, Melon Mamba, Certainly Celery, Regal Rose, Bashful Blue
Cardstock: SU: Melon Mamba, Certainly Celery, Regal Rose, Gina K Pure Luxury

Time to meet Jar Jar Binks

This is Jar Jar Binks, aka Jars, Binks, Bonk, one of the four felines that run the house I call home. Jar Jar and his brother, Qui Gon Gin aka Quiggles, Quiggs, pest, hefalump came to us around the time Star Wars The Phantom Menace came out. We are fans of the Star Wars movies and are on the "we like Jar Jar" side of the argument. I got one of the new Stampavie stamps, Coco the cat by Helz Cuppelditch because he reminds me of a tabby cat. Jar Jar and Quiggles are tabbies; Jar Jar is light orange and Quiggs is tortise shell. The inspiration for this card is Jar Jar. Except in real life, he would be sitting on top of the flowers instead of next to them! The sketch comes from the current Friday Sketchers challenge.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Stampavie Coco Cat Flowers
Cardstock: Stampin Up Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Gina K Pure Luxury
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers, Bashful blue
Paper: Basic Grey Green at Heart
Accessories: Basic Grey Buttons, SU Ribbon Rich Razzleberry, Nestabilities

Get Sketchy Challenge #32

My dad met the CEO of Hero Arts the other day at a business event. He really liked him and of course my dad had to mention that I enjoyed stamping. He got his business card and handed it to me and said, "have you heard of this company?". I was really impressed with the business card because one edge was scalloped punched! That inspired me to get out some of my Hero Art Stamps to get creative. For the background I stamped the floating blossoms background image in Stampin Up Pumpkin Pie craft ink, covered it with clear embossing powder then heated it. I sponged the entire piece with Stampin Up Apricot Appeal I cut 2 rectangles out for the two background pieces, then used a circle nestabilitie for the circle. I then stamped one of the flowers from the Blossom stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black and coloured it with my copic markers, cut it out, punched a hole and attached it to the layered circle. The layout is from the Get Sketchy with it challenge # 32




Supplies Used:
Stamps: Heros Arts Large Background Floating Blossom, Blossoms
Ink: Pumpkin Pie Craft, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers
Cardstock: Stampin Up Tangerine Tango, Whisper White
Paper: Crate
Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder, Tangerine Tango Ribbon, Ice Rhinestone Brad

Feeling very Krafty!

The first challenge for April over on the Crazy for challenges blog is to use kraft cardstock. This is why I love doing challenges, it makes me use supplies that I neglect. I paired the kraft cardstock with some bravo burgandy (both from stampin up) added the sketch from the Sketch Saturday Challenge #97 and viola! The sponsor for C4C31 is The Greeting Farm, so I thought it appropriate to use one of the image from the Miss Anya Collection

Supplies Used:
Stamps: The Greeting Farm, The Paper Company Sentiment
Cardstock: Stampin Up Kraft & Bravo Burgandy
Paper: Basic Grey Koshi
Accessories: Nestabilities, Denami Design Buttons, Ribbon from Joann's
