TSG215, Normal Is Boring!

Hello, I made this for this weeks challenge TSG215 at There She Goes. The challenge was to use an Animal. My new stamps arrived this week, which included the Donkey University set, so that's what I used.

I coloured the Donkey with copics, using these colours
Hooves, W7, W5 and W3
Body, W5, W3, and W1
Hair and Nose, E42, E41, and E40
Ears E20 and R11

There's crystal effects on his eyes, and I stamped and cut out an extra nose & hair. The hair was added with a glue dot and the nose with a dimensional.

I had some tye-dye paper from the dollar store, so I used that for the T-shirt and card. I think he looks kinda cool!

Have a Great Day!

TSG214, Don't Forget The Rum!

I hope it's ok to enter the There She Goes challenge  more than once, because I had 2 ideas for cards and couldn't decide so I made both...this is the second, here's the first!

The challenge TSG214 is to case a Trendsetter, and I cased Wendy P, this is her card. For mine, I used the barrel from the Shiver Me Timbers set and the sentiment is from the Ship Happens set.

I stamped the barrel 3 times, and coloured with copics. I also added some silver copic atyou spica to the metal bands. Then I cut them out and popped up the one in the front.

The card base is black, with a layer of the new SU smokey slate embossed with the clockworks EF. I sponged the edges with the matching ink and then rubbed on some silver ink from my encore ink pad. For the black strip I distressed the edges a bit and then the creamy caramel piece was scrunched up, and sponged with matching ink, I also ran the pad across the piece to catch the raised bits and give it a bit of a worn leathery look!

Have a Great Day!

TSG214, How Arrr you Doing?

Hello, I made this for this weeks challenge TSG214 over at There She Goes! This weeks challenge is to Case a Trendsetter, and you have to case something made for the recent release!

I cased Wendy P, and you can see her card Here! 

I used the Shiver Me Timbers set. I coloured the pirate with copics and added a bit of silver gelly roll pen to his belt buckle and silver copic atyou spica to highlight the blade of his sword. The background was stamped with the little skull & crossbones from the set, but it's hard to see in the photo.

Have a Great Day!

TSG213, You're The Top Dog!

Hello,  made this for the There She Goes Challenge TSG213, it's a sketch! I finally got to ink up my new Doxie With Moxie set, I love all the possibilities this set provides!

Like most crafters, I'm my own worst critic, and when I sit down to describe my card, I always want to tell you everything that's wrong with it! Like the spacing of the panels is off and the bigger space between the top and bottom pieces is driving me crazy, but it was already stuck...and good...so I have to live with it! And the building in the background is embossed with black embossing powder, but my powder is either old or it's because there was bits of white stuff in it...have no idea how that happened...so it didn't cover as good as it should have!

Now on the other hand, I love this little doxie with the bits of brown. For the body I used copics C9, C7 and C5 for the brown I used E29, E25 and E23.

I sponged the background sky with island indigo. The main image panel was sponged with island indigo and wild wasabi while still in the circle die.

Have a Great Day!

TSG208, Shiver Me Timbers!

Hello, my new stamps arrived in the mail yesterday, so while recovering from surgery I decided to play along with the There She Goes challenge TSG208.

This is one of the images from the Shiver Me Timbers set. I coloured him with copics.

The card base is night of navy, with a layer of dp from Bo Bunny. I also used real red embossed with a woodgrain EF and a scrap of brown I had.

I was hoping the button would look like a coin, I started with a button shaped piece of chipboard. I covered it with versamark and first embossed with bronze and then again with gold EP.

Have a Great Day!

You Quack Me Up!

Hello, I wanted to share this card I made for 2 different challenges. This is the new Lucky Duck set from There She Goes Stamps, it's a super cute set, with so many possiblities!

The TSG202 challenge is a colour challenge of yellow, blue and neutral. I used crumb cake, very vanilla and some dp from My minds eye that is similar to pool party.

The images have such fine lines, and it was super easy to stamp one on top of the other without having to use a stamp-a-ma-jig. I was going to use the sentiment 'What The Duck!' with this image, but decided to change it so it's more kid friendly!

I also used this weeks Freshly Made Sketch challenge FMS81.

Have a Great Day!
