Colour Crazy Challenges - Angie Blom

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!  Another week in the books, it sure flew by didn't it?  Today begins a new challenge at the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog with a theme of Anything Goes.  The fabulous Angie Blom Digital Designs is our sponsor this round and I couldn't be happier; I love her images!

For my design team project, I colored up one of the Coolest Chicks Ever images.  This digital package contains 4 digi images and 5 sentiments.  Check this Chick out - say that 5 times fast!

This was an easy make as I left this chicks' body white, only adding the shading.  I colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, mounted on a black mat, masked the image and sentiment, then added black splatters for interest.

For a final touch, I added Wink of Stella to the flower and had a bit of an accident....the Wink leaked!  Ugggg, but I managed to mop it up so it wasn't too much of a disaster...I don't think anyone will know...only you and I.

Please join us at The Colour Crazy Challenge this week for your chance to win some Angie Blom images.  We hope to inspire you with our projects and would love to see your designs.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge - Newton's Nook

Hello and Happy Monday!  For those in the States, I hope your 4th of July Holiday was filled with food, family and fun!  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies with an Anything Goes theme.  We have the fun Newton's Nook as our sponsor and I created my design team project using the Terrific Terriers Stamp and Coordinating Die set.  This is a retiring set so if you like it, head over to Newton's Nook and grab it before they are gone forever.

I colored this sweet pup with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and die cut with the coordinating die.   I also die cut ovals and a stitched, scalloped border die from My Favorite Things.  The patterned paper is part of a digital set from Scrapbook Gems on Etsy.

I popped the oval on foam pads for dimension and using Dina Wakely Gloss Acrylic Spray,  I added splatters for additional interest.

Please join us this week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies for your chance to win a Gift Certificate to Newton's Nook!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Inspiration Station Challenge #9 - Sea, Summer and Sand

Hello and Happy Monday!  Happy 4th of July for my USA friends, I hope your holiday was great and filled with food, fun, family and fireworks!  

Today begins a new challenge at the Inspiration Station Challenge Blog.  The inspiration photo this round is:

This photo can be intrepreted so many ways...the Sea, the Beach, Rest and Relaxation, the Coast, Swimming...I could go on and on.  For my design team project, I was lucky enough to get a new stamp set and it was perfect for my design team project.  The photo inspired me to create this A2 sized card:

I was inspired by the sea and coastal areas...possibly a Tropical location.  The image is from the new Gina K. Designs Time to Coast stamp set, which was part of the Time to Coast June 2021 Kit.  This is a lovely set and perfect for any occasion, especially those hard to create masculine cards.

I watercolor washed a panel of Strathmore Watercolor card and after drying completely, I stamped the image and sentiment.  I went in with a brown watercolor wash to color the rocks and die cut using a stitched rectangle die from Kat Scrappiness.  Lastly, added a black mat and mounted the panel on foam for dimension.  

Please join us this round at the Inspiration Station Challenge blog and enter your project inspired by the photo.  We would love to see your project and we hope to inspire you with ours.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Bugaboo Stamps - New Release Tuesday

 Hello!  I hope you're well and having a Terrific Tuesday.  Today is New Release Day at Bugaboo Digital Stamps and the newest image is this fun Turkey with his Knife and Fork.  

I've been invited to stay on as a Designer with Bugaboo and I couldn't be more thrilled.  My first project was working with the newest release and I've created this card to showcase the image.  This Poor Guy is asking we Eat More Beef!

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and the DSP is from the Carta Bella "Fall Market" 6x6 paper pad.  A few sequins rounds out the design and I hope you like it.

Please stop by Bugaboo Stamps, check out the new releases and play along in the challenges.  We would love to see what you create.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

 Hello and Happy Monday!  I hope everyone is well and had a wonderful weekend.  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies with the challenge theme being Anything Goes.  Our generous sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps and it's always a pleasure working with their images.

For my design team project, I used the clever Ruby Thanksgiving which is part of Bugaboo's Monthly Calendar of images.  This image represents the month of November and I'm still finishing up Autumn and Thanksgiving cards, so I couldn't resist using this image.

My Ruby is a Southern Lady; she reminds me of my momma when the Bouffant hair-do's were popular.  My momma went to the Beauty Parlor every Friday and came home with her hair stiff with hair spray and piled up HIGH!  

I created the sentiment in my Word Processing Program as I didn't have one with the "y'all" and that was a must for my Southern Ruby!  The DSP is from the Echo Park "Celebrate Autumn" 6x6 paper pad.  I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and added some sequins for sparkle.  What type of Pie do you think she has made?  If it were my momma, it would be Apple.....Hot Apple Pie with a big scoop of French Vanilla Ice Cream on top!  

Please visit us at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this week and play along with us in the challenge.  We would love to see your creations.  Until Next time, Happy Crafting Y'all!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Star Stampz

 Hello and Happy Monday!  I hope your weekend was nice and you had the opportunity to enjoy some nice weather. 

Today starts a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies with the theme of Anything Goes.  Our sponsor this round is the lovely Star Stampz and Sarah creates some adorable digital stamps.  For my design team project, I had the pleasure of creating an Autumn Card using the My Sweet Sunflower digi stamp.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and the designer papers are from the Echo Park "Celebrate Autumn by Lori Whitlock" 6x6 paper pad.  I die cut the focal image with a decorative scallop die, the sentiment banner was created using a sentiment included in the paper pad and gold sequins were added as a final touch.

Please stop by and join the fun this week and Pammie's Inky Pinkies, we would love to see your creations.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Gerda Steiner

 Hello and Happy Monday!  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies with the theme of Anything Goes and our sponsor this round is Gerda Steiner Designs.  I've had the pleasure of creating my design team project using the What's On The Table? digital stamp set.

I thought the images were perfect for creating a scene and there are 9 images in the set to choose from.  This kitty wants to eat the treats but decides he'll wait for a friend to join him.  My card measures A2 and I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  The DSP is from The Paper Studio "The Basics 2" paper pack, the sentiment is from the Cardz TV "Just Saying" stamp set.

Please join us at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this round for you chance to win adorable Gerda Steiner images.  We would love to see what you've created.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
