Women are like RIBBON

My card for today's Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT139 - Oh my gosha, Sasha! A proposal from McTibbons is contingent upon RIBBONS. Our card destination this week is to Ashley - who lost most of her scrap-booking and stamping supplies to a flood - the water completely flooded her basement right up to the roof. I stamped this funny Art Impressions image at my dear friend - Pat Smethers while visiting her in California last month. I stamped the sentiment there as well - it originally said "Women are like buttons, they hold things together" - I replaced the word "buttons" with ribbon to go with the teapot party theme. Image was coloured with Tombow markers. Designer papers from Recollections and American Crafts. Thanks for stopping by, Hugs. Pat

What Up?

Happy Tuesday everyone..... I combined several challenges with this card. Splitcoast Stampers colour challenge - Certainly celery, soft suede (close to cocoa), tempting turquoise and the desert option is "crimping", Teapot Tuesday challenge - "Yo! Yo! It's Frizzle, Da Dizzle, Da Teapot Sizzle", Fan club theme - all creatures great and small, technique challenge - inside and out (complete inside of card), StampinB's challenge #52 - make a Funny card, plus I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch challenge Mojo133.




The rooster image is a rak from Pat Smethers - I love this fun image... I water coloured image with Stampin Up reinkers and cut out image. The base card is 5 x 6 1/2". I matted the leafy green dp (Making Memories) with Stampin Up Tempting Turquoise and Soft Suede. The green dp with run through the Cuttlebug with Divine Swirls folder and then sanded the swirls. I curled the upper right corner on all three pieces of card stock. I cut two smaller ovals from the blue and green Amuse card stock. I then cut the green oval to make the grass area, cut two rectangle Amuse dp panels. Ran the blue and green ovals and squares through the Cuttlebug with Swiss Dot folder and sanded the raised bumps. Cut a strip of Soft Suede for the middle center panel. All edges were sponged and stitched. Crimped the center Soft Suede panel. Matted the two background panels with Tempting Turquoise and Soft Suede. Pierced holes on Tempting Turquoise sections. I cut a green piece of ribbon and a striped piece of ribbon for the center panel. Layered the stripped ribbon over plain green. Sewed the ribbon to the Soft Suede panel. Assembled card. Attached the four leaf punches with mini brads and attached the large "What Up?" sentiment brad.

Waltzing with my Darling

Well the big panic is on to try and get ready for Christmas.... I don't know why but I always leave everything until the last minute... I really don't have a lot of time to stamp and play - but one of my favourite challenges at Splitcoast Stampers is the Featured Stamper challenge...
Brenda (aka Benzi) is being honoured today. Here is the cute card of her's that I cased "Fabric kind of morning".
I received that fun image from Pat Smethers - (Art Impressions). I water coloured the image, stamped on the grass (Stampin Up - Water colour Mini), matted image with more mustard and black. The plaid background is a piece of flannel, I taped it onto card stock and the stitched edges. Wrapped raffia around two corners and attached the gingham brads. I added the black panel behind the image, plus tilted my image, placed feathers behind image panel.
I will be giving this card to my dear Husband for our Anniversary at the end of the month.

Thanks for stopping by,
Happy creating,

Hugs - Pat
