Deer Dreams

Here is a card for the color challenge that ends today at Stamp TV. I don’t think these colors do a thing for me, my brain just went dead everytime I tried to come up with something new.

 

While looking through the book I keep samples of my punches and dies in, I ran across the Quik Kutz deer die (I think instead of deer they should have called it a fawn) and an idea finally began to form, a fawn thinking about it’s Mother and Father. I used the GKD set Life is Good by Theresa Momber. The two small deer were stamped in onyx black versafine on pink and punched out with a scallop punch. The sentiment was stamped in versamark and embossed with detail black ep. The pink corner pieces were cut with a Sizzix Sizzlets Elegant Enhancements die. The dp is from a DCWV mat stack. It is layered on black and the base card and the Quik Kutz deer are my version of sweet mango. Thanks for stopping by and I’d love to hear your comments.

Friend's Hand

Oops, I did it again!! No I’m not Britany Spears, wish I had her money though. After making two cards correctly for the Stamp TV sketch challenge, and having a senior moment on my third card by cutting the dp backwards, I decided to make another card using the leftover piece of dp from the previous card. I had to cut the corner pieces backwards for them to work, so this card is backwards too, but like in my previous card………..why waste it.

This is another image from the Inkadinkado set Boxed Wishes. This time the image was stamped in really rust, cut out and embossed with a nestie rectangle, then layered on a piece of rust cardstock also cut and embossed with a nestie rectangle. The dp is layered on white and the base card is a blue-gray. Thanks for stopping by, I’d love to hear your comments.

Wonderful Day

I just love doing these challenges. Here is another card I made, for the Stamp TV sketch challenge and the Use It Tuesday challenge, after making the first two cards correctly,  I had a senior moment and cut the dp backwards, oh well, why waste it.

The image is from an Inkadinkado set called Box Wishes, stamped on white cardstock with versamark and embossed with Stampendous blue tinsel ep. The image was then cut out and embossed with a nestie rectangle.  The layer behind the image was a piece of white cardstock cut out with a nestie scallop rectangle, I ran a versamark pen along the edges and embossed with the same ep as the image. The dp is from my scrap pile more than likely from a DCWV stack, layered on white and the base card is a rust color. Thanks for stopping by, I’d love to hear your comments.

Flutterbys

While there is snow on the ground, and not much to do outside, I can play in my room. I made another card for the stamp tv sketch challenge and the Use It Tuesday Challenge.

This time I used an old SU set called Flutterbys, with the matching stencil. I got these on ebay a few years ago, and don’t think I have ever used them. I’m still trying to get my scrap pile down a little before dragging more new stuff out, and since the dp I was using had butterflies on it, figured the flutterby would be appropriate.  This is a two step stamping set, so first I stamped the chunky part with wild honey distress, then I stamped the outline with worn lipstick distress on white cardstock. I used the flutterby stencil and dry embossed, then cut out and embossed the image with an oval nestie. The layer behind the image and the layer behind the dp is a yellowish orange to match up with the dp. The base card is pink. The sentiment is from the GKD set Funny Farm and stamped in worn lipstick also. Thanks for stopping by and please leave me a comment, I’d love to hear from you.

Faux Pressed Flowers

This card is for two different challenges, see this week’s sketch challenge at Stamp TV here, and this week's challenge at Use It Tuesdays here.

I decided to try the Faux Pressed Flowers technique for my card. The wheelbarrow and sentiment is from a GKD set Funny Farm, stamped on white cardstock with onyx black versafine, then colored with prismacolored pencils and goo gone, for the handle and leg SU markers were used. Tumbled glass distress ink was stippled all over the white, and sponged around the edge of the oval after it was cut out with an oval nestie. The flowers were punched out with a SU flower punch from some scrap paper in some matching colors to the dp, glued in place and then run through the cuttlebug with a houndstooth ef. The dp is from my scrap pile, layered onto purple with a green card base. After the card was put together, I dabbed glue on some of the flower centers and added Flowersoft from the pastel and rainbow sets. Thanks for looking and I would love to hear your comments.
