CHF08 Challenge--Circles, Circles, Circles

We are ready for a new Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge. I am hostess for this challenge and I have chosen the theme -- Circles, Circles, Circles.

I used the digital stamp "Floral 11" , printed it out three times, colored each image with copic markers and used a 1 3/4 inch circle paper punch. Then I backed each circle with a black circle and a scalloped circle cut with spellbinders nestabilities.

On the white background I printed the "Happy Anniversary" image, embossed the background leaving a 1-inch strip at the bottom. I trimmed the background with a multi colored ribbon that I purchased at my local fabric store. The middle image has dimentionals behind it.

Hope that you can play along with us. for all the details please visit the Cornish Heritage Farms blog. I will look forward to seeing your card.

CHF07 Challenge -- Animals

Cornish Heritage Farms challenge this week is to use an animal on your card. The challenge hostess is Barb Gmitro-Best. Go to the Cornish Heritage Farms Blog to get all the details.You could win a $10 gift certificate.

For my card, I chose the digital image of a wolf which you can find here. What a handsome fellow. I printed out a fairly good size image, cut it out with a Spellbinders Nestabilities and sponged around the edges before taking it out of the frame. For the background, I used a piece of gray cardstock and embossed it in a folder that I had inked with  Memento London Fog. That makes the embossing really pop. Both the image and background were matted with black cardstock and attached to a white card base. I used the computer to print the sentiment. Hope you can play along with today's challenge.

CHF Challenge--Black, White and Your Color Choice

Its time for another Cornish Heritage Farms blog challenge--CHF06. Today's challenge hostess is Michele L. Michele has challenged us to use three colors--black and white with a third color (your choice). I love using black and white with lots of different colors. So which one did I want to use? Well, my choice was red. I used a digital image from the Cornish Heritage Farms store called "3 Chirstmas Kittens". I printed it twice with one image flipped horizontally. I colored only the kittens Christmas hats with a red copic marker, added a red layer of card stock and then a black layer. The sentiment was made on the computer, cut out and layered on black card stock. What a fun challenge--

SC395

This is my card for SC395 at SplitCoast Stampers. The sketch is simple but interesting at the same time. The card base is SU Bashful Blue. Then I used white card stock and ColorMates med Hawaiian Blue. The ribbon was purchased from JoAnns. I used the Bow-Easy to make my box. The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Designs Mini Tags 2.

Scrap Paper to Sunbrust

I saw instructions on how to make a "sunbrust card" using paper scraps on Splitcoast Stampers. This is so much fun and each card turns out very differently. I would like to share the cards that I have made using bits of paper from my scrapbox.

From My Desk

My desk seems to get covered with bits and pieces of "stuff". It is usually new things I have tried. Maybe its pieces that I cut out with dies that I did not use. Maybe they are from playing with a new toy. I find it exciting when I can make a card from that "stuff". Here is my card.

The leaves were cut from a Cheery Lyn Die that I got in May. The flower was made from a punch that a friend gave me. The white embossed paper was in my scrap box along with the black card stock used as a layer. The only thing that I had to cut new was the card base.

Hope you are have a great summer.

SC394--Pretty in Pink

Here is the card that I made for this week's sketch challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. It is fun to be able to use things that have been lying on my workspace for several weeks--the digital image (already cut out and colored) and the background paper.

CHF Challenge 5

It’s time for another CHF challenge today. Our hostess this week is Anne Harmon and she has chosen  “summer” as our theme. Yes, this is a favorite time of year for me. I am not fond of the very hot weather, but there are so many things that I love about this time of year.  I love the flowers and working in my gardens. I decided to do a very clean and simple card and spotlight the basket of flowers from the digital stamp called “Garden Chair”. You can find all the details about how to play along in the challenge at the Cornish Heritages Farm blog. We will all be looking forward to seeing your creation. You might even be the winner!

SC393

What a fun sketch. I went to my supply of paper and found just what I needed. I then searched to my flower jar and found the perfect flowers. The card base is made with SU Always Artichoke. The design paper was purchased at Hobby Lobby. Large flower stamp is from Purple Daisy Designs. The greeting is from Our Daily Bread Designs. Punches are from EK Success and Martha Stewart.

Sketch Challenge # 392

This is the card that I designed for the SCS Sketch Challenge # 392. Once I got started, it was a fun sketch to work with. I used SU Rose Red card stock and a small piece of the matching SU designer paper. The stamps are from Gina K Designs stamp set -- Spring Mix. The flower stamp was colored with SU markers. Hope everyone is coping with the heat.
