Let's do......lunch

Hallo,
Well as you might be able to tell - I was in bit of a strange mood yesterday...
The main image was a free download from Whimsy stamps and so I had to play with their challenge here - www.whimsystamps.blogspot.com The challenge was to use one of their stamps with a summer theme and the added option of bugs. Well what says summer better than a frog? The bugs came about by virtue of my own personal challenge to start using up the piles of stuff on my desk and these spiders have been on my desk since last fall (I got them on sale after Halloween)
The second challenge I am using this for is for Technique Junkies - Technique by Design challenge. I used 3 different TJ techniques on this card - the back left hand panel is 'walnut stain resist', the back right panel is from the latest issue of TJ called ' backround whimsy' (is that a coincidence or what?) and the main image from Whimsy stamps is colored using the 'Van Gogh' technique.

And the third challenge is for Copic Creations which is 'animals' - find out more here - www.copiccreations.wordpress.com
I did write down all the copic colors I used - I am trying to get better about that - alas I lost my list.....probably under one of those piles on my desk....
All for today ya'll - gotta get the ol rear in gear and get a couple chores done before my pre-night shift nap....
Have a great weekend!!!!

Whimsy Design Team call

Hallo,

I cannot believe that I just discovered this lovely stamp company just today!!! Oh I admit I had seen some of their images on Splitcoast and some blogs, but I had never really 'looked' until today. I found Whimsy through a blogsurfin session that took me 4 or 5 away from where I started so I can't even credit the blog that got me started in Whimsy's direction today.

You NEED to check them out!!!! http://www.whimsystamps.com/

It just so happens that Whimsy is having a Design Team call. Oh what fun that would be - I would love to get my hands on some of their stuff!!!

This is my blog post for their DT application - alas since I don't have any of their stamps - YET - I chose a selection of some of my better recent projects to show them today.

This first is a card showing off my favorite thing to do - COLOR - this one with copic markers.

This second photo is of a plaque that I did using crackle paint as a base, with stamped - and colored - images on top. Again colored with copics.

My third project is a Father's Day card that I made using a technique called 'faux rusty metal' - showcasing another of my favorite things - TECHNIQUES. I love trying new techniques for stamping and backrounds!!! This particular technique is one of my new 'go to' techniques for guy cards, and in this card it fit perfectly. The image is colored again with copics and I 'colored' some 'rust' onto the tackle box and the bucket too.

Well off to write up the second half of my application - wish me luck!!!!

Have a great day!!!
