CR84FN #53

| Published 4.29.2012

Spring has officially sprung up here in eastern Canada (although it was chilly today). The flowers are blooming, the grass is greening, people are starting to sneeze. Yep, it's a great time of year ;)

Even the colors for the latest CR84FN challenge are so springy and beautiful. Check it...

Aren't they stunning? So soft and pretty.

I had lots of ideas for these colors but I just couldn't get pink lemonade out of my mind. So I went with it. I used PTI's Friendship Jar and Summer Fillers. I masked the ice, straw, and lemons in places. I colored with my Copics then stamped my pink lemonade over top. I sponged pink around the edges of the card stock and stamped text lightly over top. When stamping the text, I inked up the stamp then used a wipe to touch parts of the stamp and remove the ink. This left a patchy appearance, which I really love :)

Hope you like it! Make sure to swing by and check out our sweet CR84FN DT - they've always got AMAZING eye candy and inspiration for all.

Another month, another Papertrey Blog Hop!

This month, we had this fabulous photo for inspiration…

Oh the possibilities! I almost broke out Vintage Picnic for this one, but instead the jar caught my attention...

And I went with one of my fav sets, Friendship Jar. And I filled my jar with YUMMY strawberries. I also broke out Half and Half {again!} - I can tell these dies and stamps are gonna get serious milage! I used quite a lot of red on this card too - I guess the strawberries influenced me more than I realized :)

I colored my strawberries with the following Copics - R20, R22, R29, R35 and YG00 for a hint of yellowy green. For the leaves I used YG11 and YG17. For a little more somethin' somethin', I added a few new leaf buttons with rustic twine.

So last night was my last time in my craft room before the move :( Next time I enter, I'll be packing up my inks and markers and such… it's been such a happy room for me and I'm sure my next space in PEI will be the same way :) Hopefully our stuff will arrive in PEI sooner rather than later so I can set it up ASAP and get backing into craftin' mode!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!! I appreciate your visits :) Happy hopping!

Hey Sports Fans! It's week 2 of the current CR84FN #36 color challenge! Here's a peek at the colors again...

The gorgeous photos in the inspiration graphic come from Martha Stewart.

This card is an amalgam of products - butterflies from Martha Stewart, flowers from PTI, fabulous sentiment from Verve (Thanks again Maureen!!!). The butterflies are embossed in black on vellum and colored with Copics. The flowers are clear embossed on the kraft and colored with pencils for a softer look.

Howdy all! Happy weekend! How about some brand new, super fabulous CR84FN #36 color inspiration?!

One of my new favorite techniques is coloring on kraft cardstock with white gel pens. No just any white gel pens, mind you. I used to be frustrated by the gel pens I purchased. They would work for a moment or two, then, bam, they would skip or stop writing all together. Grrrr. That was until I found Gelly Roll Gel Pens. O. M. G. They are the PERFECT gel pen. I kid you not. After buying one to try, I promptly bought a whole pack!!!

{he, he! In reading back through the previous paragraph, I sound like an infomercial! Just read through it again…see what I mean :)}

Anywho, I love Gelly Roll gel pens. Plain and simple.
