Totally Stampalicious Monday Colour Challenge card

It time for another Totally Stampalicious Monday Challenge... Vicki came up with this fabulous colour combination - Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip and Not Quite Navy (dark teal).
I thought these colours would make a great masculine card - this is the first time I have used this fun TS image "Farmer Hawg". I coloured the image with prismacolour pencil crayons and gamsol. I also used the out of the box technique - several parts of the image are outside the rectangle shape. I ran the creamy caramel panel through the cuttlebug with the paisley embossing folder.

Don't forget about the awesome the T.S. "BLOG HOP" to launch their new release of their new line of Bugaboo stamps on April 22nd starting at 9:00 pm EST - that means "Prizes".


I wanted to case one of Sue Titilo's cards as she was QFTD05 - "QUEEN FOR THE DAY" over at Splitcoast Stampers. Here is the card of Sue's that I cased - it was a Totally Stampalicious sketch challenge. I kept a similar layout, used the same image, 3 buttons, and scalloped edge.

I used last weeks sketch SC276 from Splitcoast Stampers, plus the ways to use it challenge - Out side the box and embossing F4A8 .


I hope you will join us over at Totally Stampalicious for this weeks challenge - check out what the other DT members came up with to inspire you.

Inspired by Karen B Barber

Happy Monday everyone... I made this card yesterday -my second of the day - for Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper Challenge... FS155 - Karen B Barber - make sure to check out her amazing gallery - she is one talented artist. Here is the card that inspired me - "Black and white magic". Karen is known for her beautiful cards using the black magic technique. Here is a tutorial given by Karen for the Black magic technique with a twist. I have only made one other card using it. I love the stamp she used "Inspired by Nature" so it was the perfect choice for me to case. I stamped the image using craft white ink onto chocolate chip card stock. Coloured the flowers with prisma colour pencil crayons. Used white gel pen to apply the dots. Made the little fence with a Martha Stewart punch. Scored lines, folded and sponged edges with chocolate chip to highlight the individual boards.

Recipe:

Stamps - Stampin Up - Inspired by Nature
Paper - Recollections - Autumn, Stampin Up - chocolate chip, more mustard, white
Ink - Stampin Up - craft white, chocolate chip
Accessories - sewing machine, Martha Stewart border punch, ribbon, white gel pen, prisma colour pencil crayons, pop dots, sponge

THINKING OF YOU

Happy Tuesday everyone..... Was I ever thrilled when Betty Wright asked to make a SAMPLE CARD for this weeks COLOUR CHALLENGE #CC249 on SPLITCOAST STAMPERS .

The colours are So Saffron, Mellow Moss, Mellon Mambo (Regal Rose) and Neutrals of Choice. Plus this weeks desert option is polka dots (big bold dots, itty bitty dots or any dots in between).

I had the perfect DP in my stash and the stamp I used is one of the very first stamps I had purchased - it has seen any love for awhile and it goes perfectly with my DP.

I used the Spotlight technique on my card and Outside the box.

Happy soggy Tuesday everyone... I'm hopping the rain will stop sometime soon - we are getting water logged. Here is a cute little box I made - I really love how it turned out. I water coloured my "Winter Robins" with Stampin Up reinkers. Masked image and sponged on the sky. I made the FAUX wood frame (used this tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers).
I made the box using this tutorial - but I altered the design abit.

For this box I had combined two Splitcoast Stamper challenges - today's colour challenge - Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke and neutrals, plus last weeks Ways to Use it - A faux feel (faux wood).
