RILEY1610, Create a Scene!

It's time for another Riley and Company challenge RILEY1610. This weeks hostess is Cathy, and she's challenging us to create a scene!


For my card today, I combined 3 stamps. Picnic Riley, Under Tree Riley and the pine tree in the background is from Carrying Tree Riley! To create the scene I first stamped Under the Tree Riley and then to make sure I got the Picnic Riley in a good spot, I used my stamp-a-ma-jig. I also stamped the Picnic Riley onto a scrap of copy paper and cut this out to make a mask & cover the image. Then I masked off the Carrying Tree Riley with post it notes, so only the tree was exposed & I inked it up and stamped it so it looks further away!



I used a thin marker to create the hills is the background, and that really brought it all together.



The images were coloured with copics, and there glitter on the butterfly & cupcake icing as well as crystal effects on the cup and top of the cupcake. The sky was sponged in with soft sky and a scallop circle mask. The grass was sponged in with certainly celery & pear pizzazz.



So why not play along and create a scene. Please use the keyword RILEY1610 when uploading to any forums. Make sure to leve a comment on the Riley & Company Blog with a link to your Scene!

Diapers Diapers Diapers!

Hello again, I combined 2 challenges for this one. I used this weeks sketch challenge SC279, and todays Ways to use it challenge WT269, we were to use some kind of pin.



I had some coloured safety pins I bought at the $ store, which then made me think of diapers and it seemed to really fit with this weeks sketch challenge! You probably can't tell in the photo, but for the white pieces I used thick white cardstock and torn a layer or ply off so that the surface exposed kinda looks like flannel diapers!



The designer paper is from DCWV Nana's nursery and I used certainly celery and brocade blue.



The image is Baby Riley, from Riley and Company. I coloured him with copics and gave him a designer diaper. I had coloured the soother but didn't like it, so I restamped it on white, and cut it out.



Have a great Day!

RILEY0810, Riley's #1

Happy Tuesday! It's time for another fun challenge from the Riley and Company Design Team. This weeks challenge RILEY0810, is Hosted by Silke (Silli) she is challenging us to make a circle card!

I decided to make my circle into a basketball, which is super easy with the tiny bubbles embossing folder. I cut my circles with nesties. The ball is really rust, I also used the nestie to draw lines on the back and cut out some sections to make it more realistic. The edges are sponged too.

Basketball Riley was coloured with copics, cut out and popped up. I also popped up the stars and #1.

We'd love for you to play along. Please use the keyword RILEY0810, if you upload to SCS or another gallery. You can also leave a comment on the Riley & Company Blog along with a link to your card!

A little R & R!

Phew, no moosework for Riley today! He's taking a day for rest & relaxation! lol I love the colours on this one, I picked the dp first and went from there.

I used the new TV Riley, and the re-released wood floor and Things Riley might say on this card. I stamped the image on white coloured with copics and cut out. Then I stamped the floor onto white, cut out with an oval nestie and sponged in the wall colour. I curved the clear sentiment stamp to fit along the curve of the oval. Then I added Riley and the TV to the oval.

The card base is navy and to add a little interest, I cut three panels from yoyo yellow and basic greys june bug dp. It's finished off with some navy satin ribbon.

I hope you had fun on the blog hop last night and seeing all the fabulous new designs! If you haven't hopped yet, it's open til 10 pm tonight (Thurs 18 March). To start at the beginning, check out Tanya's Blog. Each Design Team member is giving away one free Riley to one randomly drawn commentor. Leave a comment on each blog for 9 chances to win!

Virtual Stamp Night #1

So this past weekend was virtual stamp night (VSN) over at SCS. The theme this time was the Olympics, and all the Hostesses did such a great job coming up with Olympic themed challenges. I didn't start til late Sunday afternoon, so I didn't have time to play them all, but here's some!

Above is FEB10VSNB, Hudson's Bay Sweater. We were to be inspirated by the sweater, the link will take you to it. I used the colours, the moose and the maple leaf. The moroccan EF reminded me of the pattern in the sweater, so I used it too!

This is Hockey Riley, his team won gold! lol

This is Wheat Riley, and I used him for the FEB10VSNI, I Believe. This was a 3 part challenge, we were in use a musical element, the sketch provided, and do something on the inside. Which I did, but I didn't add the picture because it's just a strip of the blue paper with the red gingham ribbon around it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Aerobics Instructor!

Hello, I made this for the 2nd release party challenge HSAC2 on the Hanna Stamps forum. We were to make a birthday card for a worker or particular occupation.

I decided to make a card for my aerobics instructor Brenda. She has been instructing for years, I try to attend 3 xs a week, but of course that doesn't always happen! I'm not sure when her birthday is, but now I have a card ready!

The card base is black with a layer of pretty in pink & dp from basic greys pocelain. I stamped Riley onto white and coloured with prismacolour pencils. His clothes are paper pieced, I also used some SU markers & a copic. I coloured the dumbbells in with a silver gelly roll pen. The ovals were cut with nesties, and this panel is popped up.

The photo corners are an EK punch. The ribbon is black satin and pink straight & narrow.The sentiment is also a Hanna stamp, and I used a word window & small oval punch for it.

I hope she likes it!
