Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #14 over at  Jo's Scrap Shack.  Our challenge this week is a Photo Inspiration.

What gorgeous colours and textures to choose from.

I have to apologise my card is a little rushed this week.  As you may know I am the carer of my Dad who has dementia.  He has been in hospital for the last couple of weeks so it has been a little crazy between work and going into the hospital to feed him at mealtime.

Our sponsor this week is StampArt Design by Kathryne designed exclusively for Whimsey Stamps.  I chose the beautiful Gracie digital stamp.

I took my inspiration from the blues and greens, the wood and the wings in the inspiration photo.

I printed Gracie onto X-Press It Blender Card and coloured her with Copic Markers. The image was then fussy cut using scissors and a blade.  My PP is from a pad I have had for years in my stash. Crafty Secrets - Heartwarming Vintage Collection - Earthy.  I lightly coloured some of the printed images with Copic Markers The whole panel was then mounted onto a folded piece of Cardstock.

I hope you join in with us this week - Come on get creative.

I'd Like to enter into the following challenge:-
Sister Act Card Challenge #21 - Anything Goes

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #13 over at  Jo's Scrap Shack

Our challenge this week is Anything Goes.
Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps they have a wonderful array of digital stamps.  The winner will receive 7 - yes SEVEN digital stamps.  

In my card this week I used Bugaboo digital stamp - Sassy Gal Birthday

I printed my digi onto X-Press It Blender Card.  I then coloured my gal with Copic markers.  I didn't realise until I started that my image (for my niece's birthday card) was a little more risqué than I had realised.  I remedied this by colouring the skin to match the skirt.  I cut out my image and coloured the edges with copic RV25.  I then mounted this onto a pink scrap of CS again edged with RV25.

My PP is from a Miss Elizabeths birthday pack that I purchased at a dollar store in the US when I lived there.  This was attached onto a folded piece of white Cardstock.  The yellow crinkle cut (corrugated) CS was another scrap. This was attached on a slant and my mounted image attached on top.  The whole card was then edged in copic RV25.

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #12 over at  Jo's Scrap Shack

Our challenge this week is H2O - Create a project with a water theme.  
Beach, bath, washing, swimming - anything to do with water.

Each of the design team has used a digital stamp from our sponsor this week Limited Run Stamps.

This gorgeous digi is called Beachy Cupcake.
I used a combination of Copic and Spectrum Noir Markers.


These are the colours used.

I coloured four copies of the digi in separate areas to enable me to layer different parts of the image giving it a 3D look e.g. on one image I coloured the water and the sand "icing" on the next.

You can see from the photo the different areas that are popped up.  The bottom layer is the water layer.  Next is the sand "icing"  Onto this is the bucket and back of the sandcastle.  The topmost layer is the front if the sandcastle.

I had never tried a step card previously so once I coloured my cute digi I knew that it would look great popped in the centre of one.

I hand cut and scored my base card.  I embossed a piece of white card with a Fiscars texture plate.  I then inked it with Close To My Heart "Ocean" Ink.  I inked the edges of the embossed piece and then inked the edges of my whole base.  I then embossed a yellow scrap CS with Spellbinders "Circles" Impressabilities.  I cut this in half and attached them to the side panels.  

My sentiment was created using 2 pieces of Word Art and then I added the lines to create the tail.  This was then printed on another scrap piece of the yellow CS.  To get it to print on the scrap I print it on a piece of scrap paper and then attach my cardstock scrap on top and print it again.

I hope you join in with us this week - Come on get creative.

Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #11 over at  Jo's Scrap Shack

Our challenge this week is to be inspired by the following sketch.

A scrapbooking friend lost her husband this week so it was the perfect opportunity to use the sketch to create a card to let her know she is in our thoughts.

My base is white cardstock.  My patterned paper is from Crea8ive the edges are inked with Close to My Heart (CTMH) "Cocoa" ink.  I then added the organza ribbon.  My sentiment is from the "For Every Occassion" set by CTMH stamped with "Cocoa" ink.  My image from the "Live Inspired" set by CTMH is also stamped in Cocoa ink then edged and "distressed" with a combination of Cocoa and Brown Bag CTMH ink.  This was mounted on foam tape for some dimension.

The card is finished with 3 dots of liquid pearls.

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.
