Twisted Thursday Challenge S2GSC12

Time for another Shirleys 2 girls Sketch Challenge (see sketch below). This weeks twist is to use monochromatic colors. If you've never made a monochromatic card I'd start with picking your comfort color and going with that. The contest ends on Sunday, May 31st at midnight. You can find all the deets here as well as Mr. Linky so lets see what you've got. For my card I used the digital image called On the Road DG14. The shape of the image was perfect for the sketch. I knew I wanted to start with pink but didn't have any coordinating pink paper so I printed out some digital paper from Digichick and went with that. The set is called What goes around by Aheimann. I'm not sure if its available anymore I downloaded it more than a year ago. I kept pretty true to the sketch and went on the simpler side. I still think it needs more I just couldn't find what I was looking for. To give the catepillar a little character I printed it out on matching designer paper and used dimensionals to help him become the focal point of the card. Now its your turn.



Stamps: Shirleys 2 Girls - On the road DG14

Dustin Pike- Fisherman

I bought this Dustin Pike image a week or so ago and thought I should justify my spending by actually using it. I have so many stamps (the digital images are multipying like crazy) that I have been trying to buy less because I fear that I'll never have enough time to get to them all. This image was part of a bundle of stamps 10 for $10 so how could I resist? Of course there are more bundles and more individual stamps. The DT members must be going wild with all the images he comes out with. I can only imagine. This is where digi meets rubber. I paired the Fisherman digi image with SU's And Many More set which I used as a background to give the image more of a focal point. I do use rubber stamps on occassions *LOL* This time it was because it started off in my SU card class but I chose to make something entirely different with the supplies than intended.

Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge -SC111

For some reason I convinced myself to complete today's Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast. I really wish I would have looked to see what the sketch was BEFORE I made the decision to do it. This one was tough for me but I stuck with it. I used 3 different digital stamps from InStyle Stamps and the sentiment from Stampin Up called Great Friend. Next time I'll look first *LOL*

Stamps: InStyle Digital Stamps

Paper: So Saffron, Garden Green, White, My Mind's Eye DP

Ink: Pacific Point, Bashful Blue, Black

Accessories: Copics, Dimensionals, 5/8 inch So Saffron Ribbon

Digital Tuesday Challenge

Today's card was made for today's Digital Tuesday Challenge. This weeks card was a wedding theme. I wasn't able to take a decent picture of the card I made for the challenge with all the rain here so I made a last minute substitution and added one that I made sometime ago but never posted. To make it I downloaded a free printable card kit from Fred, She Said. The kit included two pre-colored flower images and 2 designer papers. I just added ribbon and an embellishment and poof! Done. The picture really doesn't do the paper justice. Its actually rich in color IRL.

The same rules apply this week: you may create anything you want, but you have to use at least one digital stamp on your project. (No company restriction!) This week Dustin Pike will be giving away 3 images of choice to one lucky winner. To have a chance at winning post a comment with a link to your card on the Digital Tuesday Challenge blog. Happy Creating.

Enjoy your special day

This week's Squigglefly Design Team Challenge is a color challenge. We were asked to use Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip and Brocade Blue. Since I didn't have any Brocade Blue on hand I improvised and used Demi Design's digital papers for my designer paper. All three designer paper designs are digital. The Enjoy your special day sentiment is from my new printable Father's Day set from The Cutting Cafe. So if you haven't started your Father's Day project yet head on over to the Cafe and take a gander.

Happy Birthday

Here's a birthday card I made using my new set called Aqualicious Delights by Funky Fairy Papercrafts. The set contains 18 digital papers, 39 patterned shapes/frames that can be cut out and 6 coordinating alpha betties. The whole kit is bright and cheery. I can't wait to try out some of the floral paper. It would be perfect for my Hula Sophia. The main image is from InStyle Stamps. They now sell Anime stamps as well as Retro stamps.

Stamps: InStyle Stamps - Mellie

Paper: Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, White, Funky Fairy Papercrafts-Aqualicious Delights
