Layered Country House

Hallo,
My last challenge for the Flourishes challenges last week - just in under the wire!!!
This card was done for the 'cut it out and layer it' challenge. The main section of the house is cut with a spellbinders die on top off the colored backround. Then I stamped the image again and colored just the fence and 2 side trees, cut them out and layered them on top.
When I went to look for a ribbon - the 1/2 inch ribbon was too wide for the ribbon tag and I was out of the 1/4 inch in the brown - and I really wanted the brown. So I took some thin double sided tape and taped it to the edge of the 1/2 inch and folded it in half. Worked like a charm.


All for today - I have some errands to run before I can get to the craft room.

Birthday Fourth

Hallo,
Stopping in quick to post another card for the challenges over at Flourishes this week.
This one was for their fruity challenge which had me stumped for a bit. I don't have any fruit stamps from Flourishes so I went with the colors of my favorite fruits - strawberries and blueberries :).
Stop by the Flourishes blog and check out the challenges and what everyone has done with them - www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com



All for today - Hope your weekend is going well.

Coffee and TJ

Hallo,

Just a quick little prepost for you today - I haven't been posting much on weekends but this week I have a series of challenges to finish off.....

This card accually goes for 2 challenges - the first is from Flourishes. They are having a bunch of challenges to celebrate the year anniversary of the Timeless Tuesday challenges. This challenge was to use your favorite Flourishes set. The coffee set was my very first set from Flourishes and still one of my favs.

Go and see all the challenges and what everyone has done with them here - http://www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com/.


The second challenge I used this card for was from Technique Junkies newsletter called Technique by Design. We had a sketch to follow and the squares behind are all techniques from TJ. We had to use at least 2. I used walnut stain and embossed resist.
See more about this challenge here - www.patstamps.blogspot.com

The stamps on the technique pieces are all from Cornish heritage Farms - backrounders 'Sophisticated swirl', 'Fiery Floral' and 'Ornamental borders' - the last 2 being scrapblock backrounders.
All for today folks - should have another challenge card for you tomorrow.

Pink Relax

Hallo,
Last card from this set for this week I promise but I couldn't resist making a Girly card with the 'Man's View' set - after all we deserve some lounging time in the recliner too!!!!
Check out all the challenges and what everyone has done with them here - www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com
I used the sketch from challenge A again too.
Added pink papers, ribbon, and pink flowers for the 'Pink' challenge.
Well gotta keep it short - house needs cleaning fast so I can get back to finishing the last 3 challenges!!!!

Manly relax

Hallo,

On to my second challenge of the week from Flourishes - this one is the sketch challenge. You can check out all the challenges and what everyone has done with them here - www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com
I really like this recliner from the Man's View set!!! I colored it with copics.
I also used a couple Technique Junkie techniques on this card too - a tiny bit of 'out-of-the-box' or in this case out of the circle - and second the squares on behind the main image are a walnut ink resist technique.
This would make a great guy card for Birthday or Father's Day.
All for today - got several cards done today for the challenges this week but not too much else so I guess that means I have to clean house tomorrow before finishing my last 2 challenges.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Framed relax

Hallo,

Finally got some crafting time - yipphheee.

This week is full of challenges from the folks at Flourishes as it is the one year anniversary of their Timeless Tuesday challenges. You can check out all the challenges and what everyone has done with them here - www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com


This card was done for challenge FTTC52E to Frame it up. It uses a stamp set from Flourishes that I just got this week :) called Man's View.
I also tried making a clear card which I haven't done before.






The frame is a spellbinders with brown paper and I rubbed it with gold mettalic.
The main image is colored with copics and colored pencils, edged with gold mettalic pen.
Well all for today - headed out to take DD to get her Learners permit - aaakkkk. And then to DS's swim meet.

Tiki Time

Hallo,
I am finally back in the swing of things more or less - I got sick monday evening with some tummy stuff and didn't even get to go shopping on tuesday with my friend Pat - good thing I preposted up until yesterday or you wouldnot have had anything to look at for a few days....I even called in sick to work on wednesday which I almost never do.
Anyhow I feel better today - got some errands done and morre poor mutt got a walk this am - such nice weather too....but I didn't push it much as I have to work the next 2 days and was still feeling a bit lazy.



I already had this project in mind when I saw the Flourishes Tuesday Challenge earlier this week and going a little 'out-of-the-box' fit right in with my plan :). Check out what everyone else did here - http://www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com/
I really had fun with this little picture. The stamps are all from 'Starving Artistamps' and I colored it with my copics. This 'sign' is going to be for a party and I am doing up some matching invatations too which I will show you when I get them done...
All for today - gotta try and get some grub going for the fam....
Have a great weekend - see ya on monday.
