ODBD - Footprints in the Sand

I absolutely love this Stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs... "Footprints". I just bought this set from a garage sale being held at Crafty Capers. I stamped the image with Stampin Up Craft Black ink on water colour paper and clear embossed. Sponged on the sky using SU Soft Sky. Water coloured the ferns with Old Olive, the foot prints with River Rock and Close to Cocoa. Sponged River Rock and Close to Cocoa over the sand. Sponged edges of watercolour paper with Versafine Black ink. Mated image with a textured light brown and black. Sewed edges.
I just love how this turned out...

Elements of Style - Get Well

Happy Wednesday everyone... Here is a card I made yesterday morning, I hand delivered this to a dear friend of the family, who is having some health issues. I love this stamp set from Stampin Up - called Elements of Style... Image was stamped with Craft Black and clear embossed on watercolour paper. I coloured the flowers with Cameo Coral and Ruby Red reinkers and the leaves with Old Oliver and Certainly Celery. I sponged and water colored the sky with Tempting Turquoise.
I used the colours from this weeks Colour challenge at Splitcoast Stampers - Cameo Coral, Ruby Red and Tempting Turquoise.. desert option was to use ric rac on your card.. I had some old paper ric rac that I coloured with my Ruby Red marker.
I also used the Midnight Madness sketch #MMSC57 from Priscillastyles Blog - I used the simpler sketch.

Snips and Snails

Happy Monday everyone... Sorry this is late but Blogger was having technical troubles and I could not upload my image... It is time for another Totally Stampalicious Blog challenge - today's challenge is to use Blue and Yellow on your card or project - any shades. I used this adorable image and sentiment "Sean with Flower " - a Bugaboo Brat image that Totally Stampalicious Store has turned into a clear acrylic stamp. Image was coloured with prismacolour pencil crayons and gamsol, plus I used markers to colour his hair and the strips on his t-shirt. I made the blue background panel from white card stock. I score the lines diagonally to match the yellow patterned paper, next I ran my Tempting Turquoise ink pad across the paper several times. I cut out the dp and close to cocoa matting with the Top note die and the oval sentiment and matting with nestabilities, sponged all edges. Made the pleated brown ribbon and sewed all edges and ribbon. Sentiment panel and Sean are popped up.

This card will also qualify for Crazy 4 Challenges - to add pleats to your card, plus Splitcoast Stampers Free for All #F4A15 - to make a card for a man or boy and today's Technique challenge - to make a card using your favourite technique and to make it personal. My favorite technique is gamsol magic and I love to sew on my cards. For the personal side - I am sending this card off to a little boy who is having chemo treatments (one of the ladies on SCS - nephew).

I hope you will join us over at Totally Stampalicious Blog - please make sure to check out what the other DT members have come up with to inspire you.

Moments in Life

Happy Wednesday everyone..... I wanted to share this with you...
