Sweet Pumpkin Marci

I am enjoying playing with the new images from La-La Land Crafts!  Marci and Luka are the cutest images ever!

I don't make a lot of Halloween type of cards, but with Pumpkin Marci, I couldn't resist.  She is so much fun to play with.  I am also going to enter my card into La-La Land Crafts's monthly customer gallery and for Top Tip Tuesday's Anything Goes challenge (thanks Leanne for sending the link!).

Tellen's Place Wednesday Challenge - Ink Distressing

Happy Wednesday!  Welcome to another Tellen's Place Weekly Challenge!  This week's challenge is ink distressing!  Ink distressing is another way of saying "ink edging."  It is a great way to add more accent to your creations and makes something new look like something old.

To be eligible to win the challenge, your creation must have a Tellen's Place image. If you don't have a Tellen's Place image, the challenge blog will have freebies you can use.  Be sure to leave a link to your creation to the challenge blog to Mr. Linky.  Also while you are at the challenge blog, be sure to stop by the store.  There are some new images available for purchase, as well as Terry's fab card and mini album kits.

Below is my card:

Two of my friends are expecting baby boys later on this year.  The image I used was perfect for the card I made and will make for my two friends.

It's All About The Color Red!

For this week's Robyn's Fetish Saturday Challenge, click here!

I am participating in this week's La-La Land Crafts Weekly Wednesday Challenge, where in honor of Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year, the entry's main focal point is RED!  Other colors can be used, but red has to be the primary color.

Below is the card I did for the challenge:

 

Hope I added enough red for the challenge. :)  When I was coming up with the design for the card, I knew I had to use Lotus for my card

The red cardstock is from Bazzil.  The designer paper is from Basic Grey, which I used for the background of the card and Lotus's dress, which I paper pieced.  I used my EK Success punch for the red border, which I embossed with my new Cuttlebug Asian folder Plum Blossoms.  I also did the embossing for Lotus's background, cut with my Nestabilities petitie oval scallop die-cut.  I also added in some of The Robin's Nest red dew drops.

Lotus was colored with the following Copic colors:

Eoo, E35, E37, E57, R20, 100 and the colorless blender

The sentiment is from Hero Arts, inked with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink and cut with the Nestie petitie oval scallop die-cut.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Touch of Pink, Brown and Beige

Pink, brown and beige are three of my favorite colors.  So when I saw the Copic Colour Challenge colors for this week, I was thrilled and couldn't wait to make my card!

Below are the Copic Colour Challenge colors for this week:

And here is Mojo Monday's sketch to use - either a circle or a square.  Or if I had more time, I would have done both. :)

I love the sketch!  Such a simple, but elegant design. :)

Below is my card:

The pink and brown cardstock are from Bazzil.  The designer paper and buttons are from Basic Grey.  The red and pink ribbon is from May Arts.  The gold ribbon is from my stash.

The image is from Penny Black's Piece of My Heart collection, cut using my Nestabilities Labels die-cuts.  The image was colored with the following Copic colors:

E00, E33 (CCC challenge colors), R20, R85 and the colorless blender

I also added some bling to the cupcake box and tops of the cupcakes with Stickles fruit punch glitter glue.  The ribbon was decorated with The Robin's Nest Dew Drops.

Thanks for stopping by!

A "Sketchy" Creation To Choose From

This week’s Penny Black Saturday Challenge is to choose between two sketches DT member Nat created. Or you can do both if you feel like more of a challenge. If only there were more hours in the day, I would do both, but I ended up doing only one. Below are the two sketches to choose from:

Sketch #1



Sketch #2



I chose to do Sketch #2. Below is my entry:



The cardstock is from Bazzil. The designer paper is from My Mind's Eye Penny Lane Collection. The image, sentiment and mice feet are from the PB Micey Day collection, that I won from Guest Designer Debby from PB Saturday Challenge's Christmas Blog Hop. Thank you again Debby! The image was colored with the following Copic colors:

E33, Y17, R59, RV32 and the colorless blender.

The image was cut using my Nestie small circle and circle scallop die cuts. The sentiment was also cut with my Nestie small petite oval and oval scallop. I also sponged on some Versa Color sand beige ink on the image and sentiment. I used my Sakura glitter pen to add some glitter to the image.

I also added in some dew drops from The Robin's Nest.
