29th St Market Crinkled Flower

Todays wt challenge is crinkled flower. I've seen these on a few blogs lately and decided to try it out. My first attempt I tore the circles and I didnt like how that looked so I pulled out my punches and nesties!LOL! I cut the circles then used my cutter kit to distress them then I crinkled them. I like how these turned out much better! I used my oval punches to make leaves and then stamped a swirly from the green thumb PTI set. I also stamped the sentiment from this set onto the celery layer. I used some MME 29th market dp that Im lovin!! I added some celery ribbon and piercing to finish off my card. Im really happy with how this turned out even though when I showed the flower to hubby before I stamped the leaves he told me it looked like a clock!WHAT?!?! I still dont see it!LOL!

sc232 Behind Brayden

I love this image from High hopes and of course I had to get it b/c the name of the stamp is Brayden! They also had a stamped named Shannon on this same release. When the stamps came in the mail I showed it to Brayden and told him it was named Brayden he said I not a donkey!LOL! I colored Brayden over the weekend while we were at the beach. I took my prismacolor pencils and gamsol b/c Ive neglected them since Ive gotten copics. I used todays sketch for my layout. For the sq panels I decided to use a larger prima folded in half. I saw Amy R do this on one of her cards and liked how it looked. I had to make the card a 5 1/4" sq since the image is so large. Ive also been staming the inside of my cards but I always forget to take a pic but I didnt today!

Melon berry petals

Todays color challenge is a difficult one for me! One ink color and one layer! So I didnt EXACTLY make a one layer card but my layers are white!LOL!! I used a set that had some serious dust on it!LOL! I dont own alot of bold images since I love to color so much so I didnt have alot to choose from. About the only bold images I own are flower images and since its been awhile since I made a flower card I decided to go for it. Ive seen alot of cards using the brad/button combo and loved how it looked so I used it for my flower center which is the reason I needed another layer so the brad prongs wouldnt show through. I also used my curved rectangle nesties that was enabled by the fabulous Denise. She has made some gorgeous cards using these nesties and of course I had to have them!LOL! Im still trying to decide what type of sentiment to use on this card. I need some sympathy cards and I keep putting it off b/c I struggle with them. I never know what images to use. Do you think this would be a good sympathy card?!?!

We had a good time at the beach but I was ready to come home!! Alana started coughing alot while we were there and she went to the Dr yesterday and she has bronchitis. yayy fun!LOL! We went to Friday Fest while we were there. It was fun! The kids liked looking at all the cars/trucks and listening to the bands lined up on the streets. Have a great day!

To the beach

We are headed to the beach again this weekend. This time we are going to Panama City Beach to visit Dannys dad. I went through my archives and realized I hadnt loaded this card yet. This is one of the cards I made when I didnt have internet. I colored this super adorable RAM image I got from Treehouse Stamps using copics and paired it with some MME dp. I couldnt find anywhere to add embellies so I just left them off. Can you believe it no embellies!LOL! Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Urban Prarie Bee

Have I said how much I love the urban prarie dp?!! Love this stuff!! Ive been wanting to pair this dp with Kim Hughes bees and I thought todays sketch was the time to do it! I also used some bazzil bitty blooms Ive had forever. Im addicted to buttons right now for some reason so I had to add a black button and some twine to the bitty bloom. I colored the bee using copics y13, y15, and y17 then outlined the wings in c1 and added stardust stickles to the wings but it doesnt show up too good in the pic. I also used some thin polka dot ribbon Ive had for awhile that I got at Walmart. The inside is stamped with a Studio G sentiment Just beecause. Have a great day!

Stamps: The birds and the bees, studio g
Paper: urban prarie dp, black, coredinations yellow, white
Ink: memento black, copics y13, y15, y17, c1
Accessories: stardust stickles, bazzil bitty blooms, buttons, hemp, polka dot ribbon, dimensionals, sq nesties

So when Betty loaded todays color challenge - kiwi kiss, riding hood red, tangerine tango, and neutrals of your choice. I went through my images trying to decide what I wanted to use today and I came across this adorable set I got from The Stamping Station in FL. Its where me and Mama went to a MFT class and had a blast. It hasnt seen ink yet so I had to use it today! I knew I wanted to use Julees Mojo 89 for my layout!
