Easel Card - Creative Fingers

Hi Everyone

Time for a new challenge over at Creative Fingers - Anything Goes with the optional twist of an  'Easel Card'.  This week our super sponsor is Beccy's Place.  I decide to make a slightly different shape for my card, this is a file from the Silhouette online store and there are great directions here for making your own.

The image I used is called 'Snowmen Trio' - not much to color here, and so I decided to keep the colour scheme for this card fairly simple.  The paper I have used is from 'Me and My Big Ideas' Christmas stack from several years ago.

I did a little bit of paper piecing on the musical score that the middle snowman is holding.

The sheer ribbon I used is from my stash, and the sentiment is created using my Silhouette Cameo and sketch pens.

Here is a look at the card from the side.

And just because I had extra paper left over I finished it off with a matching envelope.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

1. Divas By Design - Feeling Festive
2. Paper Crafting Journey - Christmas Time
3. C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Christmas

Thanks for stopping by today.  Please check out the rest of the creations by the DT and join us for our challenge over at Creative Fingers.

If Friends Were Flowers - TCCCB

Hi Everyone

Today there is a new challenge over at The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog (TCCCB), so I have a little DT inspiration for you.  The theme for the challenge is 'Flowers' and we are sponsored this week by Fred She Said.

Here is my easel card using the 'Happy Flowers - Rainbow Collection'.

This is a collection pack of pre-coloured images, and has tons of options, check it out here.  All I did was add a little stickles and layered a second flower on top of the first to add some dimension.

Here is a closer look at the sentiment which is computer generated with a Lettering Delights font.

Don't forget to stop by TCCB, check out the rest of the inspiration from the DT and join in with the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday 168 - Seeing Green

Hi Everyone

It's time for another Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge over at Sassy Studio Designs.  This week the theme is 'Seeing Green' - St Patrick's Day or the colour green.  Here is my card.

Don't you just love that sassy girl with her beer?  I used my Cameo to print and cut the image and coloured her my ProMarkers.  The background I also made with my Cameo using the Chomas Pen Holder and Copic fine nib inking pens (also coloured with ProMarkers.)

This is an easel card, so here is a look at it standing showing the 'sentiment'.

I hope you will take a peek over at the Sassy Studio Blog and she all the creations from the very talented Design Team.

Don't forget to join me on Saturday for Sassy Studios new release and the 'Follow The Yellow Brick Road' blog hop.

What's Cookin' Good Lookin'?

Hi Everyone

We've had a couple of snowy days here in Colorado - and whilst it looks beautiful, it is not the kind of weather that I enjoy going out in.  So yesterday I 'hunkered down' in my craftroom to play and this is what I came up with.

This image is from a store called  Lacy Sunshine, by the very talented artist Heather Valentin - her images are adorable, how come I've only just discovered her?????  This image is called 'Chef Lola' she is one of the retiring digis (only $1.00) and she is coloured completely with my ProMarkers.  I used the print and cut feature on my Cameo to cut her out and make the offset on the card base as well.  I found this cupcake brad in my stash and knew it would be perfect for that little corner.

I made this into an easel card, so that it could just stand up on its own and the full sentiment could be seen,  here is a look at a view from the side.

Here is a list of everything I used:

'Chef Lola' - Lacy Sunshine
Black cardstock - American Crafts
Pink Swiss Dots cardstock - Bazzil
Black/Silver Glitter Paper - DCWV
Sentiment - computer generated
Brad and gems - from my stash
ProMarkers - Letraset

This is what the card looks like when it is standing.

Here are the challenges I am entering my card in.

1. The Crazy Challenge - Pink and Gems
2. Ooh-La-La Challenge Blog - Sparkle and Shine
3. In The Pink - Pink and Bling
4. Joanna Sheen Challenge - Layer It Up
5. Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog - Favourite Colour Combo

Thanks for stopping by today.
