The Crafter's Cafe challenge #198 - Lots of Layers

 

This is my card for challenge #198 at the Crafter's Cafe.  Please join us during the next two weeks. The theme is lots of layers, and this sketch is perfect.  In some spots, there are 9 layers.  I used papers from my stash, and a piece that is probably upholstery trim for the corner squares.  That adds some nice dimension.  The image, Drummer Boy, is from one of our sponsors - Cute as a Button. The sentiment is a part of the image.

2 cards for Crafter's Cafe DT - Beach Bear by

For this challenge #196  at the Crafter's Cafe I created 2 cards.  The theme is  All Creatures Great and Small - this Pearl - Beach Bear certainly fits - and is adorable, as well.  The set, from Wink Wink Ink,  comes with a black and white drawing to color, and a pre-colored image as well.  Since I could not decide which to use - I made 2 cards.

Hand colored image

Coloring with chalk pencils; sea shore papers by Debbie Mumm; Washi Tape; Spellbinder dies.

Harry is a bit blue

This will go to a recipient of the SplitCoastStampers TeaPot party this week - a member's co-worker is facing serious health issues and is in need of cheer.  She likes dogs, to this Pink Gem cutie should bring a smile - and I picked up a sheet of jokes while waiting at the doctor's office - I will add some of them to the inside.  If you are interested, any one is welcome to the TeaPot party - there is a weekly recipient - sending cards is optional but always a good thing to do!
The panels are from a KanBan kit; the dark grey textured layer is the cover of an annual report sent to DH; the mat behind Harry is textured handmade paper from Costco; I used a double strip of Washi tape for the horizontal panel.

Wheee!

birth

Wheee! is my first thought when I see this image (pre-colored from Beccy's Place).  I like to color, but sometimes it is fun to use something done by some one else!

Springtime Glitter and Shine

Flowers by

Whew!  I am running a bit late - too many interruptions! This image is Penny Black (Cheesecake) - thanks to their website for some coloring inspiration.  I used a chalk pencil to color the mice, and kind of smudged with my finger to blend and reduce the amount of color.   The icing is shiny white enamel accent paint with glitter glue sparkles.  I used prismas for some of the other color. Other items: flowers by Petaloo; rhinestones;  DCWV Spring Stack dp, DCWV coral cs; glitter (along edge); Arrow by Basic Grey.
