The show is hosted by Mary Gunn FUNN, every Friday evening at 6:30 pm CT on You Tube <a href="http://CraftRoulette.live">CraftRoulette.live</a> You have 48 hours to create a project, following the spin parameters and submit your entry. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Challenge 63</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Project:</b> 6 x 6 sketch - <b>Color:</b> cool - <b>Element:</b> car/truck - <b>Random:</b> envelope</p><p style="text-align: left;">We were given 2 sketches, so I decided to make one card, for each sketch. My goal is to use any current and retired Close to My Heart stamps, papers and products, I have on hand, as much as possible, shopping. Below are my two cards I created following the parameters.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Card 1</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrfkqg5boWKXZ9oZOKQjVzb6gZA5MFh-TN0Z2eOiNJ_CRsTFt1i1aafsA3Zw9zfQHJndYUHIZ173Ez-y8pwCnb6xUAorj6S7sf3RTBJ-gAIIWfsQYqIKJY9z_ED0dZORyJwj8QskIlh0Z8/s608/Craft+Roulette+63+card+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="608" data-original-width="582" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrfkqg5boWKXZ9oZOKQjVzb6gZA5MFh-TN0Z2eOiNJ_CRsTFt1i1aafsA3Zw9zfQHJndYUHIZ173Ez-y8pwCnb6xUAorj6S7sf3RTBJ-gAIIWfsQYqIKJY9z_ED0dZORyJwj8QskIlh0Z8/s320/Craft+Roulette+63+card+2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Colors are Bluebird, Grape and Lilac for the papers, and Bluebird and Grape ink.

This stamp is a large image, so it can be used for scrapbooking layouts and home décor as well. I have 3 cards 6" x 6" to share with you, all are embossed with our White Embossing power Z891, over VersaMark ink Z2068. I also used 3 different thin cut border dies, on each card. Check out the set on page 118 of the catalog, Decorative Borders Z4241, I personally love the torn notebook paper one.<br />

Quick post today, just for fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this little card using an image <a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/">From the Heart Stamps</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love Faith's images and creating with them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The image is called <a href="http://fromtheheartstamps.com/shop/cute-mice/255-love-you-mouse.html">Love You Mouse</a> and I just wanted an excuse to color</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been sick most of the week and haven't had any energy to create until today</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdXiNVMu3gYYQUWoOwg8QlJNq2t814zTXPNGU6OOJJ6ZuhRhu7UXAzJWZFPeRfkn429mYThNlPKYQ1VGmrjBbLG13hN7a6dH5RWHOay-xl8TYMDSe6I0KxzhusOy_beEPw2g1_QWu80Zjo/s1600/2017-2-12+You+Warm+My+Heart+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdXiNVMu3gYYQUWoOwg8QlJNq2t814zTXPNGU6OOJJ6ZuhRhu7UXAzJWZFPeRfkn429mYThNlPKYQ1VGmrjBbLG13hN7a6dH5RWHOay-xl8TYMDSe6I0KxzhusOy_beEPw2g1_QWu80Zjo/s400/2017-2-12+You+Warm+My+Heart+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After printing the image, I colored it with the following <b>Copic </b>markers: BV00, BV02, BV04, C0, C1, C3, R00, R11, V12, V15, V17, YR00, YR02, YR04</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cut the image out using one a 2.5" Spellbinders circle die. I layered the circle on top of some patterned paper, orange with dots and purple gingham with a white card base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To finish my card, purple glossy dots and twine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Today's post I am sharing a card I made using...<br />
<b>Dreamin' Big Cardmaking Thin Cuts Bundle</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Close to my Heart</b> is having a <b>25% off</b> all <b>Thin Cuts </b>for the month of <b>March</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This card is made using our <b>Juniper</b> cardstock cut 11" x 41/4", folded along the 51/2" inch mark. I then layered with a piece of <b>White Daisy</b> cardstock, cut at 4" x 5.25"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love white space on cards, so this is a card that you can make really quick, using those thin strips of paper scraps we all have in our stash. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I trimmed the <b>Dreamin' Big</b> papers into 5" x 1/2" strips. Next, tear the edges to look like Washi tape, making sure each one is slightly shorter than the last strip. Attach the strips with adhesive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using your favorite Die Cutting machine, select your image from the <b>Dreamin' Big</b> stamp set, which has several bugs with wings...Dragonfly, 2 Butterflies and a Ladybug. I chose the Dragonfly for this card, stamping the image on <b>White Daisy</b> cardstock using <b>Poppy</b> ink, position the coordinating die over the stamped image. I usually anchor the die down with a small piece of Washi tape to hold it in place. Run through your die cutting machine for a perfect cut, ready to embellish your card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The stamp also has several sentiments to use on your cards. I inked the <b>Just Because</b> sentiment in <b>Slate</b> ink, then finished the card with <b>Poppy</b> twine and a <b>Gold Glitter Gem</b> attached to the Dragonfly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This winter, in Washington state, we have had strangely cold weather<br />
Snow again on Monday and the mid 30's<br />

I started with an A2 white card base, layered with primary color combo, red, with yellow and blue patterned paper from <b>Doodlebug Designs</b>, 6 x 6 paper pad called <b>Sunkissed</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I colored the <b>Drops of Love</b> image in the following <b>Copic</b> markers: C-0, C-2, C-3, B00, B02, B05, E00, E02, E11, E21, E33, R22, R27, R29, Y02, Y06, Y15, Y17.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To finish the card, I added iridescent gems, tied a red ribbon around the lower portion of the card, then circle punched my sentiment and attached with a safety pin.</div>

I started with a white A2 base, layered with lavender cardstock, patterned paper, and some red with pink heart patterned paper too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I used a white base, layered patterned paper over the top, following the sketch, which I rotated.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Good Morning...<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am so happy to be back as a <b>monthly Guest Designer</b> over at <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/237246803286989/"><span style="color: blue;">Missy Daisy Stamps</span></a>. </b>I design exclusively for <b>Jennifer Nilsson Art</b> and today I am using <a href="http://www.missdaisystamps.com/product/i-wuv-you-bunny-jennifer-nilsson-art"><b><span style="color: blue;">I Wuv You Bunny</span></b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little bunny just warms my heart. I hope you enjoy my card and can the warmth too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNh7UNXCHGbMR9TD21bt63HdNhtuFsJrHWYHaNmZKE4Yqoy2nR6DrN9xoxdrDjbAmM-7Y7aGcHKnY7yAf3ER9oyCoJx95SdE5IPLkeTQcqmK_Bg-AUhIu2Nt8d98Io8kNr3wYfLLWa6cr6/s1600/2017-2-4+Love+-+DT+Watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="325" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNh7UNXCHGbMR9TD21bt63HdNhtuFsJrHWYHaNmZKE4Yqoy2nR6DrN9xoxdrDjbAmM-7Y7aGcHKnY7yAf3ER9oyCoJx95SdE5IPLkeTQcqmK_Bg-AUhIu2Nt8d98Io8kNr3wYfLLWa6cr6/s400/2017-2-4+Love+-+DT+Watermark.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to use the classic Valentine color combo of Red, Black and White for this card. I started with an A2 white base, stamped a heart sprinkle background image in black ink, randomly on the card. I then layered with a patterned paper 3.5" circle, cut from a die and a 1.25" x 5.5" solid black strip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added a white <i><b>Love</b></i> sentiment (a <b>Memory Box</b> die), to the strip. I really like the contrast against the black.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The <b>I Wuv you Bunny</b> was colored in the following <b>Copic</b> markers: C-0, C-1, R11, R22, R27, R29. I fussy cut the bunny and mounted onto the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To finish the card, red sequins for a pop of color!</div>

After a long break of holiday fun and being ill, I am now creating and posting cards as a <b>Guest Designer</b>, monthly for <b>Jennifer Nilsson Art</b> over at <a href="http://www.missdaisystamps.com/"><b>Miss Daisy Stamps</b></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I created for you today...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am using <a href="http://www.missdaisystamps.com/product/winter-cocoa-teddy-jennifer-nilsson-art/"><b>Winter Cocoa Teddy-Jennifer Nilsson Art</b></a> this month. This adorable, little bear all bundled up, melts my heart</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I colored the bear using my <b>Copic</b> markers in the following colors: BG000, BG01, E00, E21, E35, E37, R22, R27, Y35, Y38</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using a Kraft card base, layered with light blue and kraft patterned paper from <b>Authentique</b>, I added a sentiment, red stitched heart cut from a die and snowflakes, also from a die. To finish the card a fiber bow and some crystal blue rhinestones</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My card starts with a 10.5" x 4.5" piece of purple cardstock I found in my scraps. I am always trying to find a use for those scraps before cutting into another sheet, so this card is slightly smaller than normal half sheet, cut the long way, but it works! I used additional layers of lime green and white. I than layered 2 strips of <b>Washi</b> tape at the bottom of the white piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Batty Girl</b> was colored using my <b>Copic </b>markers in the following colors: BV00, BV02, BV04, BV13, C-0, C-1, C-3, C-5, E00, E02,YG00, YG03, YG06, YR02, YR04, YR07. I really love the color combination of Purple, Orange and Green, it is so FUN!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To finish the card, I stamped the <b>Batty for You</b> sentiment from the <b><a href="http://jadedblossomstamps.com/go/view.php?image=images/toocutetospook.jpg">Too Cute to Spook</a></b> set from <a href="http://www.jadedblossom.com/"><b>Jaded Blossom</b></a>, then added a ribbon bow and tied on a lavender bat button from my stash of embellishments. And finally, sequins.</div>

I am using the <b>Candy Corn Fairy</b> found in the Etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AuroraWings?search_query=Candy+Corn">HERE</a><br />
<br />
I colored the image using the following <b>Copic</b> markers: B00, B02, C-0, C-3, C-5, E000, E00, E02, Y000, Y15, Y35, Y38, YR02, YR04, YR07<br />
<br />
I layered a A2 white cardstock with black and orange patterned paper. I cut from my <b>Circut</b> a scalloped edge. The image was trimmed and layered on orange cardstock<br />
<br />
I finished my card with an old Happy Halloween sentiment from my Close to My Heart days as a Consultant. I then added black twine bow and some orange bling<br />
<br />
You have 1 more week to join us for this challenge - I'd love to see your Orange and Black creations<br />
