Get Creative Challenge #21 When Pigs Fly

Good Morning and Happy Monday to you!

It's another beautiful day and I am here to share my newest card for the Get Creative Design Challenge.

This is the image I chose from QKR Stampede

and this is what I made

I love the simplicity of the card yet it looks pretty cute!  I puffed the "balloon" with a little bit of cottonball and then glued it down. I think I might be getting the hang of this "digi" card making, LOL 

Make sure you check out the Get Creative Challenge blog and join in the fun over there.

Thanks for looking and as always, have a great day and God Bless!

Get Creative Challenge #13, Lacy Sunshine Steampunk

It's the 3rd Monday of the month and time for me to show off another card I made for the Get Creative Challenge blog.  I've had so much fun so far being on the design team.  

Here is the image I chose for this month's challenge which is using Pink, Purple and Green in your project.  Two of my favorite colors, yeah ME!!!

 And here is my card:

I colored her with various inks, chalks and markers.  (I'm still new to using digi stamps and hope to get some cool markers to play with).  What would you recommend I purchase?  Oh yeah, I also gave her a pink stripe in her hair because if I could, I would!

Of course I also used my Amazing Casting Products to mold my gears and added a bit of bling to them and also colored them with alcohol inks.

Here is a closeup.  I also used the Sizzex folder to create the background that I embossed with my cuddlebug on metal tape and then colored with alcohol inks in pink, purple and green.  I love this technique.  Then I pop dotted Mona Steampunk Ethereal Enchantress to the card base so that she became the focal of the card.  I did not add a sentiment this time because this card could mean anything to anybody.  

I love the grunge look of this card.

I hope you've enjoyed my card and please hop over to Get Creative Challenge blog and join us!  Remember though, you must use the colors Pink, Purple and Green on your project.

As always, have a great day and God Bless.

Get Creative Challenge #11, Oddball Art Miss You Card

Good morning friends,

I'm so excited to announce that I am the newest member over at Get Creative Challenges.  Now this is completing outside of my comfort zone but I am thrilled to step outside of it!  I accepted to be a SUB on the challenge team about a month ago and was ready to show my first card two weeks ago, but fate held up it's hand and said, "wait just a moment"!  A couple days later Angie told us that someone had to step down and would any of the subs be interested in becoming a full designer?  I dove right in, so here we go!  The reason this is outside of my comfort zone is that I have never done digi stamps before.  I've always been a regular stamper when I was making cards.  I have a boatload of stamps but hardly ever use them.  Maybe I should sell them, NAH!  Anyway, let's get to the challenge.

This is the image I chose from Oddball Art 

and you can find her HERE.  

Big Eye Bedtime Pajamas Girl Image No. 11 by Lizzy Love

She is so cute but to me she looked sad and lonely and from that I created a "Miss You" card.  I know that's not what she stands for, but that was the inspiration I went with.  

Also for this challenge you MUST use a die cut of some sort.  

I used up papers, a velum quote and ribbons from my stash (again, trying to use up my hoarding supplies).  

I added some flowers that I cut with my Cricut and SCAL2 as my diecut to match the paper I went with.

I colored her using various pencils, chalks and even some pastel crayons.  

I think for my first card I did ok!

I also popdotted her to make her more of the focal of my card.  

As always, I have to use bling so I added some 

rhinestones to the flowers and the edge of the card.  

I am very pleased with the outcome and hope you come over and join us at Get Creative Challenges.  

Just link up with us and we will choose 3 winners!
