Two Challenges

I couldn't find my battery charger for my camera! I looked "everywhere", but it was not to be found. I even went to Best Buy to price their chargers... $42! So I came home and looked some more. I decided to check my husband's drawer, that he "had just looked in there." I scanned around the drawer, and low and behold! There it was. So I charged my battery, and now I'm displaying my cards that I finished last night.

This little card was made for two challenges: The Greeting Farm and Totally PaperCraft #31.

The Greeting Farm had a sketch to follow. This is what I came up with. I of course used a Greeting Farm image and colored it with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol, and cut it out with Nesties Oval and matted it on Nesties Oval Scallop. I used Basic Grey's LilyKate dp and SU cs. The yellow ribbon is from my stash and the pink is from Celebrat It. The buttons are Basic grey. The flower is Prima and the pearls are Kaiser Craft. I sponged around the image with yellow chalk.

The challenge for Totally Papercraft #31 was Plain and Simple. This is pretty plain and quite simple. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Totally Papercraft and SFYTT

This card was made for two challenges: the sketch is for SFYTT and the theme is for Totally Papercraft to be "fruity". The strawberries and the apples on her dress fit that bill.

The image is Whiff of Joy. The dp is from SU, the cs is DCWV and unknown. The flowers are Prisma and the buttons are BasicGrey. I used Cuttlebug's Swiss Dots embossing folder on the dark purple. The image is cut with Nesties ovals and scallops, and I used Nesties Peony. The image is colored with Copics.

I think I got it all. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Totally Papercraft #8

This cute Greeting Farm girl was colored a few weeks ago, and I decided not to use her for the card I was making. But I thought she'd be perfect for this week's Totally Papercraft sketch. I used Basic Grey dp, even for the green base. I colored the image with Copics and cut her out with Nesties oval. I'm glad I got the oval, I seem to use it the most! The white ribbon is from my stash. That's it! Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

ducky

Isn't this little duck just the cutest? It's from Darcy's stamps (my daughter's collection). I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol, with a shadow outlining. The ribbon is from my stash, the flowers are Prima, the brads are Spare Parts, the cs is SU, and the dp is DCWV. The image is cut with Nesties Label 4. Sweet and simple card.

Totally Papercraft #5

Happy Friday! Of course, the days all seem the same to me :). Oh, well. Had a great day out yesterday with the ladies.

This card is Sue's first sketch for Totally Papercraft #5. I interpreted it a bit differently than most. I used a solid piece of cs, embossed with a CB folder (swirls) and seperated it with ribbon from Robert Stanley Collection. I used an image from Whiff of Joy, colored it with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, plus Copic E00 Skin White. I gently sponged and colored around the outside of the image with pink and soft shade of purple. The paper is from DCWV and SU. The flowers are Prima. I put some FlowerSoft (Heather) on her basket of flowers. The brad in the upper flower is from BG.

Totally Papercraft #4, Friday Sketchers #90

This card was made for two challenges: Totally Papercraft #4 and Friday Sketchers #90. I pulled this paper out yesterday, thinking I'd like to make a card with them. I had printed this image from Free Coloring Pages awhile back, shrinking it down. I love this Sarah Kay image. I hope they make it a stamp soon :). I colored her with my Prisma color pencils and Gamsol. The sentiment is Verve. I cut the sentiment with Nesties Label 5 (I finally got one!). The green base is from my stash and the pink cs is SU. The dotted dp is from my stash. I think the floral dp is from Creative Imaginations. The flowers are Prima (green) and Spare Parts (pink) with a pink brad in the center. I used CB's Bloom Dots on the base of the card. I sponged green and brown chalk to give the illusion of floor and wall. I think it turned our pretty cute. What think you?

OCCSC2, Totally Papercraft #3, Stamp Simple #126

This card was made for 3 challenges: The sketch came from OCCSC2, the button and bows are for Totally Papercraft #3, and the colors purple and green are for Stamp Simple #126. The image is from Belles n' Whistles, Elizabeth Bell, Rock On. I colored the image with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol and cut it out. The rhinestones are Kaiser. The dp paper is from myu stash, the green bg is SU, the purple is DCWV. The ribbon is Offray. Love this image :) I did my best with purple and green.

Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Totally Papercraft Challenge #2

Time for Totally Papercraft's second Friday challenge! This was a recipe challenge to use 3 embellishments: ribbon, flowers and blling; two papers: orange and green; and one image: Whiff of Joy.

The ribbon if Offray, the flowers are from Prima flowers, and the bling is something i picked up along the way. The image is from Whiff of Joy last spring. Oranges fit Florida, don't you think? I colored the image with Copics. The dp is BasicGrey and the orange cs is DCWV. Very simple card, just the way I like 'em!

New Totally Papercrafts Challenge #1 and Sketch & Stash #28

This card is for the brand new challenge Totally Papercrafts. This is their first challenge, Friends. What is more a friend than a brand new puppy? We got a German Shepherd puppy for Christmas, and she is 13 weeks old, 3 months today. She is already HUGE! And is getting sweeter every day.

I used the sketch from Sketch and Stash challenge #28. I can't remember the dp paper, the cs is SU and DCWV. I colored the image with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol. The sentiment is from SU, and the image is Sarah Kay, one of my favorite artists. I used a Cuttlebug embossing border down the middle. You can almost see it!

Pretty simple. Thanks a bunch for lookin'! There is a blog hop going on at Totally Papercrafts and everyone has some blog candy! Check it out!
