Power Poppy - October Power and Spark - Say It's Your Birthday!


I'm joining my very first challenge with Power Poppy.  I recently bought my very first stamp set from them called Season's Seatings Digital Stamp.  I love the detail of this set!  So much fun to color.

The current challenge is to create something inspired by our Birthday month.  My birthday is in October so I chose to use Fall colors.  The digital image was colored with Copic Markers and layered onto Rich Razzleberry and Always Artichoke cardstock from Stampin' Up.  A few sequins from Verve Stamps finish the 4.25 square card.

My Favorite Things Sketch and Color Challenges



I'm joining the current sketch and color challenges at My Favorite Things.  My card features retired MFT sets - Cart Full of Friends and Li'l Pumpkin.  Such fun sets for Fall and Thanksgiving!

The Pure Innocence image was colored with Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils.  We we asked to use Steel Grey, Orange Zest, Wild Wisteria and Lavender Fields on our project.  I included two strips of orange washi tape and enamel dots in the color scheme.

I love paper piecing... especially the dresses for these sweet PI images.  It's such a quick and easy way to "dress up" any card.  I stamped the image onto Co'ordinations polka dot paper, fussy cut, and glued onto my main image panel.  

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge #48


I'm joining the current SugarPea Mix it Up Challenge with this clean and simple design.  I have used the sketch challenge as my inspiration featuring SugarPea Barn to be Wild and FarmScapes.

The base was masked with Tim Holtz distress inks - Mustard Seed, Wild Honey and Dried Marigold.  A few enamel dots and sentiment stamped with Versafine Claire pigment ink finish the card.

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday challenge: #99 What's Your Sign

I'm joining the current challenge at Your Next Stamps - What's Your Sign.  We were challenged to create something inspired by our Birthday.  My birthday is this month so I've chosen to use Fall colors, leave and a fall sentiment.

The YNS image is from their adorable Scarf Weather set.  The image was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  The card base was masked then sponged with Tim Holtz distress inks and spritzed with water.  I finished the card with sequins from Verve Stamps and googly eyes on the bunny.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

Gerda Steiner - Share Your Design October Challenge



I haven't been able to participate with the Gerda Steiner challenge for a few months.  This month I printed the adorable Warm Fuzzies Bear digital stamp from Gerda Steiner.  The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils, Copic markers and shaded with charcoal pencil.
The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Company.  I started with a Tim Holtz emboss folder and included layers from my scrap stash.  Twine and a pearl flourish finish the card.  

I am also joining this week's sketch challenge at Christian Card Makers Facebook group.  Ginny Maxam is the challenge hostess and generously provides each participant with a sweet card kit.  Below are a couple that I've received.

Thanks for stopping by!  I always enjoy reading your comments and truly appreciate them.

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday - Challenge #98


Fall is definitely in the air here in Alaska.  We are having an unusually mild Fall with beautiful colors.  So, I pulled out the adorable Scarf Weather set for the current Fall Fun challenge at Your Next Stamp.
The adorable image was colored with Copic Markers.  I couldn't resist adding googlie eyes to the sweet little bunny.  The image was layered onto designer paper from Echo Park.  A coordinating sentiment, enamel dots and seam tape ribbon finish the card.

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #404


I'm sharing with this week's MFT sketch challenge.  As you noticed, my sentiment "wandered" a little further down the card.  That's what happens when you don't have the sketch open in front of you!  

My card features a retired MFT set called "the Front Porch - Fall".  I love this set for Thanksgiving cards.  It's so detailed!  I used my Misti to stamp with Versafine ink then colored highlights with Tombow markers.  Designer papers are from Basic Grey Wisteria paper pad.
