Week #2 Guest Designer - For Fun Challenges

Hello everyone! Here are my last two cards as guest designer for For Fun Challenges. This weeks challenges is to use flowers, lots of flowers.  The sponsor this week is Bugaboo and I've used two of her digital designs.

This cool flower gal is Ivy. I colored her with Copic markers then cut it out using a long rectangle die from spellbinders. Green cardstock is from Bazzill and the designer paper is from Basic Grey. I did sponge some peeled paint distress ink along the left hand side of the dp. The white satin ribbon is colored with the same Copic markers and then tied into a bow using the Bow Easy.

I then took some three ivy leaves off the back one of my silk plants and glued it on behind the sentiment and main image. Lastly, I added a green felt flower and yellow paper flower from TAC to cover up the stems of the ivy and be OK with the flower challenge.

This next one is also colored with Copic's! The darker yellow is actually tissue mulberry paper that has been stained with wild honey distress ink. I let it dry and then added some swirly flowers using versamark ink and clear embossing powder. It's really hard to see in the picture! Blue and yellow cardstock layers are from HOTP and self adhesive pearls are from Kaisercraft.


Please join us over at For Fun Challenges this week using lots of flowers on your card or project! Thank you's going out to Helen and Kathy for having me as guest designer these past two weeks! It's been a lot of FUN!

Re-worked Holly

Ok - I had to re-work Holly as it was really bugging me! Since the die cut of holly was pretty stuck, I ended up doing some fussy cutting.

I reused the embossed green and the lime green cardstock but cut it down to size. Satin ribbon started out as white, used the same Copic marker to color it and the pearls that I colored/shaded Holly's dress in.

Sentiment is from TAC and cut out using the smallest circle nesties. It's popped up on the left side with foam tape to level it off. Holly is also popped up using foam tape.

I used the My Favorite Things sketch for this week as inspiration for changing this up! Much better - don't ya think?

Holly

Hi everyone! I've been messing around with this card for a few days and still I'm not sure if I'm happy with it or not.

The fairy is a digital stamp from Bugaboo and colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen and a stardust pen.

I used some golden colored vellum and put it behind a piece of printer paper and cut out the scalloped circle to go around the main image. I struggled finding a color that went with the colors I used on her to layer with and this is the best I came up with.

The holly around her is a die from Memory Box that I cut up and glued down. Added some berries with liquid pearls. Not sure if I like this addition or not, but it's glued down now so I'm stuck with it.

Holly embossing folder is from Provo Craft and I love that it's a 5x7 folder!

So, give me some feedback on this one! I would appreciate suggestions at this point!

Happy 50th to my DH!

Hi everyone! Today is my husband's 50th Birthday and I had to make him a special card. I did stay away from the black balloons and all that stuff. He would've killed me if I had done that for his B-Day dinner last night. LOL!

The inside says = Growing old is mandatory....Growing up is optional. The outside sentiment is computer generated. Stamp and inside sentiment are from Bugaboo Digital Stamps.

Colored with Copic's and his glasses are highlighted with some glossy accents.

The designer paper is from Hot Off The Press and green and navy blue cardstock is from Bazzill. I used the Top note die and nestabilities tag dies to embellish the card. Added some gold self adhesive pearls to the tags.

Thanks for stopping by and be creative today!

Chocolate cake

Hello! Tomorrow we get to bring home the new puppy! Which means that you'll be seeing some pictures soon! In the mean time, here is a card to look at.


Cake is a digital stamp from Bugaboo stamps. It's colored with Copic markers. I have a male co-worker who is celebrating a birthday this coming week, who will be the lucky recipient of this card. Not liking the bow, but oh well it on there now. Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

Will post puppy pictures tomorrow!

Stupid?

Here's the Valentines Day card that I'm going to be giving to my DH. He'll love the humor!

Even though it's sort of a girlie card, he'll laugh! Digital image is from Bugaboo Digital Stamps. I colored her with Copic's and a stardust pen was used to highlight her wings!

Designer paper is from Hot Off The Press and I added some self adhesive pearls for interest.

Long rectangles cut out with nestabilities.

Have a Happy Valentines Day and enjoy the Chocolate.

Annoy

Hey everyone! Here's a card I did for this weeks sketch challenge over at SCS.

Digital stamps are from Bugaboo. I used Copic's markers, glaze and a stardust pen to color this funny older couple!

Pink polka dot designer paper is from My minds eye. The denim paper is something I found hidden away in one of my 12 x 12 cropper hoppers. I realized I have some pretty good designer paper in those storage units that I forgot I had. Ug! Anyway, I used a pair of scissors to distress the edges, popped it up with foam tape and tied on some bakers twine, which holds the sentiment tag.

I also used some glossy accents on their glasses. You might have to enlarge the photo in order to see it and read the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day!
