What's up Chick?...

Sharing a cute, clean and simple card I made for...
i {heart} sketches challenge Sketch #145 over at From the Heart Stamps
 
The TWIST this week:  Use Sponging
 
You can find this cute image HERE
and there are many more Birdbrain Chicks found in the SHOP
 
 
 
I started with a sky blue card base, layered with white.  My stripes are 2 dark yellow strips of Washi tape. 
 
I printed and colored the image using the following Copic colors:  Blender, B00, B02, E21, E31, YG00, YG03, YG06, R22, R27, Y11, Y17.  I then lightly sponged sky blue ink around the square
 
The sentiment with the set is "So, What's up chick?"  I made a banner only using the "What's up chick?" and attached to my card using tiny, red brads.
 
 
 
Done, cute, clean, simple
 
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope your day is filled with Happy!

Thinking of You...

A quick post tonight, as I wanted to play along over at Colour Me Card Challenge
This is a NEW challenge blog hosted by co-creators, Hayley and Tara
I have been waiting for their very first challenge, however with the holidays...
it kind of snuck up on me and  I needed to get the card completed and posted today
 
Here it the inspiration photo...
 
 
And here is my card...
 
 
So sorry, but this is the closest paper choice I had to work with - Twilight
 
To make this card:
 
I started with kraft A2 card base layered with ivory cardstock cut 5.25" x 4"
I added a piece of 2.5" x 4.25" designer paper, old Close to My Heart from my stash
The solid cardstock is Twilight, which I cut a small strip for the bottom of the card and a banner
I stamped the Thinking of you sentiment with Twilight ink onto the banner
 
To finish:  I added a light gold ribbon/bow and some adhesive pearls
 
 
I know it's probably to late to join in this week, but they will post a new challenge each Wednesday
Check it out here and you may want to play along next week.
 
Thanks for stopping by to check out my quick post tonight
I am heading back to work tomorrow, after two full weeks off for the holiday,
which has been an awesome time enjoying family time, parties with friends and crafty time
I hope you will enjoy your Monday

It's Technique Time Tuesday

Maybe you noticed I have been gone for a month, maybe not!
 
Either way...I am so excited to finally be spending time in my creative space and making cards again.
Life was a little hectic the past couple of months, with no time to devote to creating, oh so sad!
 
New job - 3 months into it and I absolutely LOVE it!
Positive, Drama Free and wonderful co-workers.
 
My fathers 5 days a week, for 7 weeks of radiation is complete!
Myself, hubby & siblings took turns driving dad each day to his appointments, a lot of miles.
He is doing great - skin graph on his neck is healing well.
 
One year anniversary of my Mother's passing on Mother's Day last year - it was an emotional time.
We celebrated Mother's Day this year at her graveside.
Lot's of flowers and a hummingbird showed up - she would have loved that!
 
Anyway, that is what has been going on with me these past couple of months
 
Now it's my turn to share with you a new technique for my DT at Technique Time Tuesday
 
Blurred Vision Stamping
 
 
I used 3 older Close to My Heart images from the set - C1397 Smiles
White A2 card with Watermelon cardstock - which I stamped up using the same flower
I used Watermelon and Topiary water based dye ink also from CTMH
 
Make sure you check out the Tutorial for directions on how to do the Blurred Vision Stamping
I used a paint brush for this technique
Note:  When using my water brush, too much water, causing a big, messy puddle on the paper
 
I finished my card by adding pink gingham paper to the center
Layered the stem and leaf image over the top, cut out the flower and used mounting tape to adhere
Green ribbon with bow tied to hold metal tag with sentiment
A yellow button for the flower center
 
I hope you will take a moment to visit Technique Time Tuesday
and see what the rest of the Design Team created for your inspiration.
Now it's your turn to be inspired, maybe get out of your comfort zone and try something new.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with using the Blurry Vision Technique
 
Take care and have a Terrific Tuesday!

Sketchy Friday #10

It's Sketchy Friday and I am here with my card inspired by sketchy #10


I am so excited to share my little 4 x 4 card I made.
I am using Bo the Dragonfly, which can be found HERE
 
Symbolism of a dragonfly:
a dragonfly lives a short life, it knows it must live its life to the fullest with the short time it has.
 
I love dragonflies, and I mentioned that to Sonia and this is what she came up with.
I love this dragonfly and I was able to name him too!
The name Bo means:  Living
 


Well I really hope you like my little card.
I used paper from Echo Park 6 x 6 paper pad - For the Record 2 by Lori Whitlock
I used Copic markers to color the image and did some paper piecing with the image.
 
I hope you will join us this week and create something wonderful using our sketch as inspiration.
