All day Stamp Fest!

This card says it all.

I finally decided to just take a whole day and finish the images I started to color weeks ago. My best friend came over last night and we just "played" like the old days. So . . . while all the stuff was already out I decided to take advantage. This is one of the KLM Digital Design's release this month. I colored the cottage with Copic markers. The papers and ribbon are Stampin'UP's Artichoke. A Cuttlebug folder was used for the background white. This next card seems to look a lot like one I did before! This is one of my favorite clowns. I colored the clown with Copic markers. This was an experiment with the air brush feature of the markers. I don't have the handle that holds the markers and directs the spray, so it is a bit of an akward two-handed deal. Papers are all SU; ribbons are Papertrey ; layers cut and embossed with Nestibilities from Spellbinder.

Will post some of the others next week as this weekend is pretty filled with the grandchildren.

Happy stampin'

Lost Post

I lost my homework, really!  I posted these cards last night when I gothome from NH. I should have known better than to try then! I was too tired and obviously forgot something and lost the whole thing! D****! Oh well, I'm up and had coffee and done some cleaning so I guess I'm awake. 

My daughter is inspiring! She is so talented and just knows what to put where. She kept us challenged all weekend so I will have several things to share this week. 

We had a great time and made quite a  mess of her kitchen and dining area. I'll have to share the pictures I took. 

This is a really  simple little card and only took a few minutes to make ( unlike the cherries). It was another SCS challenge. They are really fun. I used all SU papers and inks.  Stamp: Memory Box

   Papers and Ink: SU WhisperWhite, Black, Basic grey, Pomegranate

   Accessories: Cuttlebug, organdy ribbon, Fiskar punch, Hero Arts                                 pearls, blender pen

 This was an exercise in using teeny scraps. The thin 

strips are trimmings from another project. The images were stamped on really small scraps, cut, sponged and layered using dimensionals. Everything here was SU except the little crystal in the corner and the accent dotting, which is hard to see. Anywhere there was a dot I went over it with a Sakura glitter pen.

Stamp: SU, One of a Kind

  PTI, Mixed Messages
