Sewn Together Challenge #7

I chose to use Jaden because I haven't used him much before and there are so many cute images that I have a hard time picking and choosing. I used flowers that I got from Oriental Trading Company and Accent Essentials Mattewas used to attach them and to put a dot in the center of the flower. The paper is from DCWV Fun in the Summer Sun pack.

SSDS Challenge: Halloween

It's a bit early for me to think Halloween but I know somepeople can't wait for September to end so they can start decorating their yards with mummies and witches and spiderwebs (my webs are all natural - I let the spiders do all the work- LOL). So this is what I came up with.
I used a Sure Cuts a Lot file from either SVG cuts or My Scrap Chick (I forgot now, but it'll come back to me when I am trying to go to sleep tonight). They both have free cutting files so sign up for both of them.
Next, I inked the top of the casket with black to make it look really dirty and spooky. I tried to keep the inside of the card as clean as possible so it was still possible to write on the cream colored cardstock.
Thanks for looking and be sure to check out the Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Challenge blog to see what everyone else came up with.

Sewn Together Challenge #6

It's a New Technique Challenge #6 at Sewn Together. I chose to try the Tri-Shutter Card. I've seen so many neat ones out there that I've been wanting to do one too. I used Studio HG's Girlfriends paper pack for the background. I also chose Miki with a (party) balloon and colored him with Prisma markers.

Thanks for looking and be sure to check out my other Sewn Together team members' creations.

SSDS Challenge: Follow the Sketch

Today, we had to follow the sketch over at Stamp, Scrap & Doodle. The sketch lent itself nicely to using scraps and that's exactly what I did. The bear image I forgot where I got it but he is colored with Prismamarkers and I used some studio G glitter gel to his music.

Sewn Together Challenge #5

This week our challenge was to use any donkey image that we liked. I went for donkey with the bandana. He was colored with my PrismaMarkers. I did use dark colors, but they are too dark in this photo. The sparkliy bits at the bottom say Happy Birthday but again, not showing up well. I hope you enjoy what you can see of this card. I like the card, but I'm not too happy with the photo.

Thank you for looking

SSDS Challenge: Inspiring Color Challenge

It's time for another SSDS challenge and today we had a photo to use. See the SSDS Challenge blog for the photo as well as the other DTs creations. I colored this image from DULEMBA. I loosely based my card on sk082209 from PaperCraftPlanet. I used my cuttlebug and the spiderweb folder on the orange card stock and sanded it a little to help the webbing show up better. The flowers are Primas, while the brad is a Making Memories Hul-la-ba-loo and the ribbon is an Adhesive backed ribbon from Darice.


Thanks for looking,
