Less Is More Challenge

I must have tried this card out about a half a dozen times, before I ended up with this.  I am entering this in the Simply Less is More Challenge from this sketch.   Smudges and crooked stamping are the culprits. I swear, I can smear ink on a digi. Anyway, here is the sketch.  The creators of this blog, Chrissie and Mandy make the most amazing cards, that it's easy to get inspired.

For this challenge I used an image from Rubber Soul and a sentiment from Inkadinkado. I used a Spellbinder's die to emboss around the image.  Then I simply ran my Copics across the image and I used a little Stickles on the tips of the branches. 

Now, I have a date with my pillow. See ya!

Another Plum Purdy

Would you believe that after I made this card, I had to go to the store and buy some candy corn?

This is another Plum Purdy that I colored with Copics.  I cut an mounted this little guy on some DP from Cosmo Cricket. The red and yellow background paper is also Cosmo Cricket.  I used some Martha Stewart gltter for the straw hair.  Isn't he just yummy?

Plum Purdy Fall

I tore up my whole craft room to find this stamp.  Turns out it was where it was suppose to be.  That's probably why I couldn't find it.

I have this paper pad from K&Company that has the most fabulous flowers.  This huge sunflower is from that pack and I just cut it out.  The Plum Purdy stamp was colored with Copics and mounted on a Wilton doily. It looks black in the photo, but card stock behind the sunflower is actually a deep chocolate which I used Martha Stewart punch on the corners.  I did add a little Stickles to the twig. The sunflower stretches out over the 5-1/2" card.  I hope I have an envelope.

Simply Less Is Moore Challenge

I made this card without any stamping. I used Spellbinder's Paisley Die for the frosting  and Label's 3 die for the base. I embossed the paisleys with a Cuttlebug embossing folder then topped the icing with a Prima flower and a jewel.  The DP is from My Mind's Eye and the sentiment is a Fisker's sticker. The ribbon is from my stash.

I am entering this in Simply Less is Moore Challenge. . This week is anything goes and they are looking for 1000 entries,so why not join in on the fun.

Witching

I think I have finally figured out why I'm not crazy about Halloween.  This image strongly resembles me in the morning.  Actually she looks better than me.  Cackle! (I mean giggle.)

This is a High Hopes stamp, that I have colored with Copics.  I used a Spellbinder die to mount it then popped it up. Brads in the corners and a little Stickles on the stars tops it off on this pretty DP from Basic Grey.

See ya later! I have to go find my hat!

911 Never Forget

An All Day Card

I haven't done water coloring since I bought my first Copic about 3 years ago.  I watched another video using distressed inks.  I don't think I will even try it again, but that got me to thinking about all my Tombow markers. Previously I had always used pencil when water coloring.  I may have fallen in love all over again with my Tombow's.

As the title indicated this was an all day card. There is a reason there is a pop up on this card. (Covering up a little boo boo.)  I took me about an hour trying to fix it and my little brain cannot understand the concept of starting over.  Then I finally get it all put together and I decided to pick up the brush and just blend that blue out a little. Big mistake! I must hit a microscopic portion of the red and it just took off like a shot.  I never know when to walk away and leave well enough alone.
