Rock On - The Stamping Chef Challenge #41

This is my first post as a Sous Chef DT member for the The Stamping Chef. Each week we host an Anything Goes Challenge with a chance to win 3 fabulous digi images. You do not have to use a TSC image to enter the challenge but if you do, you are entered twice for your chance to win. For a complete list of the rules, please visit the TSC Challenge Blog.

For my card, I used Terri. Isn't she adorable! I printed her and colored her with my copics and then cut her out with a Spellbinders die and mounted her onto my card base. The sentiment is from a retired CTMH stamp set. I added some Prima flowers and a little bling.

Below is the copic color key for this project. Feel free to pin it to your Pinterest board. I have started a specific board for my TSC projects which can be found HERE. I also have a board dedicated to all my copic projects HERE in case you need some color combo/ideas.

Now it's your turn. I would love to see what you've got cookin'.

Products Used:
Stampe Set - TSC Terri (digi); CTMH Rock On (retired)

Ink - Grey Wool, Versafine Onyx Black
Copic markers, Spellbinders Grand Circles and Grand Stately Circles, Die-namics Perfect Bracket Edge, WPlus9 SuperStar die, Prima flowers, Dewdrops, goosebumps, flat-backed adhesive gems

Stardust Birthdays

I made this card using a digital image from Aurora Wings. She is running two challenges - one on her Facebook Group Page (Birthday) and one on the Challenge Blog (Anything Goes) - and this card fits both.

I printed the image twice on a piece of cardstock to create a top and bottom border. I then colored with my copics and added some yellow glitter to the center of the flowers. I used a die to cut out my sentiment and then pop it up across the middle.

I am trying something new. For those of you who use Pinterest, I have created a picture (above) for you to pin that includes the copic markers that I used. I have always tried to list the markers I use because I cannot tell you how many times I see a color combination I like, and the person hasn't listed the colors he/she used. I tend to color from lightest to darkest 99% of the time so I list my colors in that order. As usual, if you ever have any questions about how I made something, please don't hesitate to contact me by leaving a comment here or emailing me directly at cibglazer(at)gmail(dot)com.

Stars & Stripes Birthday

One of my daughter's best friends and I are birthday buddies.  We are both firecracker babies born on the 4th!  Although we celebrated on Wednesday, her official party is today so I made this card for my daughter to give her.  You'll recognize the layout as the same as the card I made for her other friend.

I stamped the background with Impression Obsession's Distressed Corduroy and Canvas Cover-a-Card stamps onto Kraft cardstock and then added a little patterned paper from Jillibean.  I cut some of the stars from a scor-tape adhesive sheet and attached them to cardstock and added glitter.  I cut strips from a plastic box that one of my stamp sets came in and attached the stars to them.  The ribbon was threaded through the slider mechanism and doesn't interfere with how it works.  Once again, I included a gift card.

I am so happy with how this turned out and I'm pretty sure the birthday girl is going to like it.
