Red Carpet Studio Card Challenge

Happy Sunday!!

It's time for a card challenge over at Red Carpet Studios.

 

This week is going Digital. And our wonderful sponsor provided this adorable image.  (You can find it HERE.)

 

 

 I colored the digi with Copics and added some Stickles for sparkle.

 

 

I added some twine with a rhinestone.  What's a cowgirl without rhinestones?  =)  

The image and the star are both popped up on Zots. 

 

 

My inspiration for the layout for my card is from MojoMonday.   Don't they inspire you too? 

 

 

Our challenge runs for one week. Be sure to head over to the blog and link up.

 

 

 

Sister/Friend Card

Happy Hump Day!

 

It's a raining, chilly day here in Northeast Wisconsin.  A very welcome change to the 80+ degrees we've had the last few days.   A great day to sit inside and craft until my heart's content.

 

Speaking of crafting.....I have a cute little card to share with you.....

 

 

I created this card for The PaperNest Dolls Contest with a Verve Stamp Sketch as my inspiration.. (The Verve sketch can be found here.)  And I HAD to use my new stamp set from Sweet & Sassy Stamps. 

 

The colored image is from The Paper Nest Dolls, and can be found here.  A bit of funny....at least it is to me.  =)   I purchased this image a few months back....  And when I created the card, I had my sister in mind.  So...........when I created this post and realized the title was "Best Friends & Sisters"....I laughed at myself.   I guess I should have known the title, huh?  *still laughing*   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crab Door Hanger

Happy Tuesday!!

 

I wanted to share with you a door hanger I created at my son's request.  I try and create hangers for the kids' bedroom doors to keep the second floor festive and friendly.  =)  My son requested a door hanger with a crab on it.  So, here's what I came up with.

 

 

Since my son wanted a crab, I used the Under the Sea file set from Scraptastical Kreations.  (The shark and crab are in this set.)

 

I used the Peachy Keen Stamps challenge sketch as my beginning inspiration.  Thought I could use the crab as the focal point...and it just went from there.  The faces for the crab and shark from Peachy Keen Stamps Everday Character and Winter Face Assorments.  For the shark's eye, I used the 3/4" bird face from the Winter Face set, the left eye only.  Then I inked just the eyebrow so that I could angle it just right.   The crab's eyes are from the 1" bird face and the smile is from the 1 3/8" Everday Character set. 

 

I used Scraptastical Kreations Element Me This file for the banner and the embossed shaped.  The hanger looked quite plain so I toor some strips of paper to create 'waves'.  I inked the edges in red and accented with waterfall Stickles.  The stars and fish eye are also waterfall stickles.  I used twine to help bring it together.

 Red Carpet Studio is a movie-themed challenge blog that runs weekly challenges, alternating between layout and card challenges each week. All of their challenges are inspired by either a movie or aspect of Hollywood!

For my project today, I made....

 

I try not to make cards for hops, but I just love how this one turned out.  I used Paper Nest Dolls Bride Ellie image.  I really enjoyed coloring her.  Between her long hair and the folds in the dress, I could get really creative.  For the bit of blue, I used a blue mat, colored the ribbon and some flowers, and Stickles (of course). 

My 'new' addition are the pearls.  I won a GC from Miriam's Crafting Supplies and this is one of the many things I was able to get.  =)

For my project I made a card. I try not to create cards for my ATS projects, but this digi just screamed card. =)



I colored my digi with Copics (see list below). I added Yellow Stickles to outline her hair, and Patina Stickles to her wings. The tissue paper behind the digi is packing from Verve Stamps. I love to reuse everything I can. I do like how this card turned out. Very uplifting, I think. =)
