Seems like I only get to play along at 365 Cards on Sundays! Well one day is better than none! Today is day 188 and Sunday is always (...wait for it!) - Super Sketchy Sunday - a terrific sketch that I sort of turned upside down!
I'm calling this a hybrid card for 2 reasons - I have used a digital sentiment from Create with TLC and I scanned in some paper that I wanted to use but my piece (green behind the bikes) was too short. I also scanned in the blue from my triangle and printed my sentiment right onto it so it would all match.
My card is 3 3/4 x 9 on natural kraft. The patterned paper is old but one of my favourites - Carolyn Gavin Greenhouse mat pad.
Below is the sketch and my card, hope you can play along - happy Sunday & thanks for stopping by!
Well I was able to get caught up and make about 6 cards - I had to book Friday off work but it was certainly worth taking a vacation day for!
I have really enjoyed the digital sentiments that are available at
Create with TLC - since I love photo shop I'm getting the hang of how to work with the digital sentiments and I think they are fantastic! If you haven't visited TLC you should; Paulette posts a freebie daily and has a large variety for sale in her store - all priced very reasonable and service/email is very quick! Remember when you visit or download a freebie; please leave a comment to show your appreciation!
Here are my two cards to share - a garden card that I will be sending to my sisiter and a wedding card for a friend on the east coast.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great Sunday!
This is for the challenge at 365 Cards Day 40 - 4 ways to get colour onto your stamp. So I started with a digi stamp - chick border - I'm sorry I have no idea who to give credit to for this digi stamp - it is very cute - I printed it onto patterned paper; used copic for the beak and grass, I added glue on glitter for the wings, which I then coloured and used the iRock for a gem in the flowers - the background blue paper is from provo craft, I've had it forever. I used my fav bazzill card stock for the base and for some detail border punched under the chicks - Happy Spring!
Day 188 at 365 Cards - divide & conquer - create 6 separate sections on your card.....well I knew I had some time today to make a card, just didn't plan on having it divided up in 6 equal parts - I'm not one for straight lines and exact measurements - I like things to have lots of straight lines but have a skewed placement...HOWEVER...here is my card for todays challenge - digi image by Elizabeth Dulemba (notice I left her name right on the image..lol...I had already done the exact measurements and didn't think white out would look good on the card), mm paper for the apron and card, bazzil card stock for the base - the image was coloured with copics, along with the ribbon - oh buttons are basic grey.
This week at 365 cards the challenges have all been about colour ~ today is all about the colour purple! I love purple - 3 shades of purple are required.
I coloured the digi image - I do not recall who owns this image, the file is AKVBD Party - if anyone knows please let me know so I can add it to the file name - it is very cute. The paper is Basic Grey Kioshi and the card stock is Bazzill. The little tab is a quickcutz die.
That's it for me ~ so glad it is Friday ~ have a fabby weekend and thanks for stopping by!
Happy Sunday - today I made a card for a challenge at 365 Cards - haven't had the chance to make a card for a challenge for quite some time! I needed to make a birthday card and I wanted to make a big card! So it fit for the challenge that Pam had on day 97. The card needs to be 8.5 x 5.5 - that's it! Making a card this size is fun and it costs the same to mail as 5.5 x 4.25 ...ok that is provided you don't weight it down with a ton of emblishments!
For my card I used bazzil card stock & the Basic Grey line Green at Heart. The orange is sage (I can't make the connection to the colour orange and the name sage but hey who am I to judge?!) the green is moss and the multicolour is vert. The images are by Dawn Moore Lost in Paper Scraps -
thanks again Dawn! Images are coloured with copics, matted & pop dotted.
Here is my card - thanks for stopping by & have a great Sunday!
Ok here are the deets of this challenge - check it out for yourself at 365 cards. It
was a tough one..
This is what Pam asked for:
On this card, you need to have at least 8 elements (not counting the cardstock or any background paper) and here's the challenge - all those elements must overlap with at least 2 other elements.
Well I started this card on Monday for Mondays challenge at 365 but didn't get a chance to finish it. Saturday is almost over, but I made it work for todays challenge.
The card was made from an image I downloaded. I colored this with Prismas (& mineral spirits) and I also used some Copic markers. Background paper is Basic Grey - lime rickey. Flowers were colored with copics, brads were added and the stamp is from Hero Arts,
it is a new set I just purchased called 'thoughtful'
So has anyone seen Alice in Wonderland yet?...
Thanks so much for stopping by~ Have a Happy Day!
