Finishing More Challenges

I made this for Oozak's 6th challenge to "Make it Sparkle," and I based the design on the Fetch a Sketch Challenge 32. I'm using the SNSS Cocoa mouse digi image, and I've colored him with Copics, including some neon colors for the fireworks. I made this card sparkle with stickles and light blue gemstones in the shape of stars. Sorry the lighting is so poor you can't see that detail, but if you click the photo to enlarge it, you might be able to get a better view. I used a SB square swatches die, and added piercing for a little interest. The dsp is from Echo Park Country Drive and I added some turquoise, red, & black card stock. Here's the sketch:

This might be one of the worst photos I've ever taken, but the card looks so much nicer IRL! I used chocolate chip and blushing bride colors for this card, and I'm entering it into the Fab Friday's first sketch challenge#01.  I'm also entering this into the OWH midweek throwdown to make a kid's card and use scallops. This is for an older child, but I'm sure big or little kids would love receiving this from a deployed parent! I used a CB decorative tiles ef, along with a SNSS sentiment and border die. The ribbon was a gift from my sweet friend Heidi. Here's the sketch...

That will do it for me today, so thanks for stopping by, and I wish you all a great Wednesday!

Fetch A Sketch & CR84FN

Here's my card for the Fetch A Sketch Challenge #31 as well as the CR84FN61 color challenge to use aqua, tan, & cream. These colors look so pretty together!
I used PTI vintage cream, kraft, and cool caribbean card stock, stamping the Summer Silhouette image with caribbean and versacolor sand beige ink. I added some bling to the smaller blooms, and added some fancy fan embossing to the background. The cc panel was stamped with cc and the border was done with a MS doily punch, while the kraft punch was done with an EK tiny scallop border punch. The sentiment panel was punched with an EK punch, and I added a MFP sentiment done with a word window punch.

Thanks as always for spending a few moments of your day with me here. Much appreciated :)

A Sketchy Easel Card

I used the above sketch from the Fetch A Sketch challenge #28 for my card.

I used a beautiful Hero Arts stamp set that I won from Simon Says Stamp recently to create the flower and stamped panels. I went with Electric Blue, Bashful Blue, silver and white for my color scheme. The flower was stamped 3 times with Versarmark and embossed with silver ep, cut out & popped up on foam tape for dimension. The scalloped circle was die cut from silver metallic card stock, but the camera doesn't pick up that shine very well. The bottom panel was stamped with Ballet Blue on bashful blue card stock, and I added some silver beads here and there, as well as to the center of the flower.

Here's the open view of this easel card that I combined with the above sketch  for the Art Impressions Stamp challenge #71. Their challenge is to create an easel card, or a card with more than one fold. For the bottom panel, I embossed with silver ep on electric blue card stock, adding a SB fancy tags two die cut with a SU! sentiment. I added 2 large silver brads to the ends, and popped this up on foam tape to hold the card open. I used a CB swiss dots ef for the white panel and some ribbon from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping everyone!

Fetch a Sketch 22

Here's the sketch for the Fetch A Sketch challenge #22 found here.

and here is my card. I'm using a Heartfelt Creations Posy image that I stamped at a stamp meet a year ago and I'm just now getting around to using it to make a card! I colored it with Copics and added a simple SNSS birthday sentiment and some ribbon threaded through the embossed layer. The embossing was done a square lattice ef, and the blue cardstock is from a paper stack by the Paper co.
That's going to do it for me today, but as always, I thank you for stopping by.

Fetch A Sketch

This is sketch #9 over at the Fetch A Sketch challenge blog and I made 2 cards for this challenge.
First up, I used this cute digi image from K'nK who is sponsoring a benefit fund raiser for OWH this week. This "Snow Thankful" image is being offered at a special price only until November 1st, so check this post for the details. I used some Memory Box dp and 2 embossing folders for the side panels. The image was colored with Copics, and I added 3 snowflake stickers around the main image. I also added a touch of liquid applique around the cuffs
Here's another card I made for sketch #9 from Fetch A Sketch. For this one I used SU's Contempo Christmas, embossing both the image and sentiment in gold. The dp is from BoBunny and I added 3 nailhead stickers around the image panel. The card stock is vintage cream by PTI.

That's it for me today but thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
