Just Because ~ PTI Challenge

So my FAV new stamp producer(PTI) is having posing some challenges to celebrate their 3rd anniversary. Today's challenge was to tackle emboss resist. 

I was feeling a little playful after a long day at work, so on the way home I was thinking of some great ideas. 

Here's what I came up with.

Along with emboss resist I used masking to do this card as well. I stamped the images onto post-it notes so i could place them on top to stamp over, but also great so I could play around with where I wanted the images. In the end I ended up rotating the card 90degrees anyways. 

I stamped the one flower and coloured it with my new Copic Markers ( LOVE them). Then used my VersaMark marker to colour over the whole flower, and embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I put one of my postits over it, to stamp the other flowers, to make it look like they're behind the other flower. Then, I covered those, and stamped the leaves. Then embossed them all with clear embossing powder. I kept the posits on the flowers and used my sponge to ink green around the leaves. Then put the posit of the leaves over them and inked 2 tones of purple over it. Stamped the sentiment - in two parts , embossed it in clear. and I was all set. Added some ribbon and glued everything down. 

I hope you enjoy it -- post a comment and your address and maybe you'll get it in the mail. 

Blessings,

I'm back!! Finally!!

So I'm finally back - at least for a bit. I'm trying to find a better balance between work and life and scrapping. 

A few dear friends of mine finally convinced me that I needed to get some Copics and start experimenting, so here's a sneak at my colouring. and a card that I made for my amazing husband as a thank you for a great date night this weekend. 

This card also applies for the little red wagon blog challenge for this week.

Hopefully I can get some more creations up here soon. 

Blessings.

Shapes -- Stars

The challenge today was to make a star your main focus -- also it's art glitter week, so adding glitter isn't necessary but is icing on the cake.

here's my take on being a star

Masking

The challenge today was to do some masking -- taking a copy of your stamp and covering part of where you're going to stamp so that you have spaces left for full images. This took me a bit to get into it but in the end I loved it.

Here's what I was able to create.

Sunflowers

So I love this challenge, in fact I have been saving these pictures for just the challenge that meets them. I made this card for my cousin's bridal shower a few weeks ago, she LOVES sunflowers.

I was playing around and realized that if you cross stitch the middles of the flowers they look like they have seeds and have texture, so that's what I did. I also made a few book marks as well for my cousin.

Here it is, in a few different shots.






Thanks to Carolyn V for the great shape idea for the card, I can't take credit for that, that was all her!

You guessed it - another challenge

Sketch Sunday -- this seems to be a pattern.

Here's the sketch to work off of:

and here's what I created:

DAy 124 - Computer Graphic

So here's the Challenge -- use your word processor to create an image rather then using a stamp.

So google here I come -- searched for butterfly and colouring pages -- Love this butterfly!!

Let the printing and colouring begin, and here's the finished product.
