Just Us Girls #438 - Photo Challenge

Hello!  The new challenge over at Just Us Girls is a photo challenge.  This is the cool photo Vicki chose.

 

 I started by die cutting the green frame.  Then I took out a black and white paper pack I had and die cut nine different squares then one white rectangle.  I popped up the frame and recessed the squares inside.  Before I added the rectangle into the frame, I stamped a flower on it.  Then I die cut the sentiment three times from black and once from white.  The white layer was offset so you could see the black behind it.  There's shimmer on the flower and sentiment, and I added clear sequins to finish it off.

Time Out #108 - Be Wild

Hi there!  The new Time Out challenge is challenging us to be Wild. 

 

We are sponsored by Walter and Winnie for this challenge, and I chose to use this cute set called Party On.  I'm not sure how "wild" these cute little critters are, but they are partying on and making some noise!  I stamped and colored them with copic markers.  They were masked off and then the clouds were added with a stencil.  Then I die cut two pieces of grass and added it to the bottom.  The sentiment and music notes were stamped with black ink.  There's some shimmer on the instruments and some crystals too.

Just Us Girls #437 - Color Week

Hey friends!  How are you on the color purple?  It's not my favorite, but I do like a challenge.  It's color week at Just Us Girls and Carol has chosen to prominently use purple on your card.


I must say I'm loving the purple!  I started with another stamp set I've had for a while that I haven't used.  This is a layering marble set from Waffle Flower and I could have done a better job with it had I watched their video tutorial.  But I do like the outcome mostly.  After stamping a much larger piece of cardstock, I die cut it with a stitched rectangle die.  I die cut another panel in an orchid card stock to mat it on.  Then I stamped the flower and leaves in black.  I didn't want to add any other colors and I thought coloring it in purple would be too much (at least for me!).  I did color the middle of the flower with a light purple copic.  Then I die cut the sentiment four times from black card stock and stacked them.  That and the center of the flower received some shimmer!  And of course to finish it off, I added some purple crystals (there they are again!).

 

I'm also entering this in the Creative with Stamps challenge.

Time Out Challenge #107 Reminder

Hi everyone!  Today is my birthday!  Pretty soon I'm not going to be acknowledging this day because I don't want to admit how old I'm getting!  Yikes!

Anyway, I'm posting today because the current Time Out challenge is in it's second week, and I have a reminder card to share.

 

The theme is spring and I found this pretty die and stamp set in my stash that has never been used (like most of the things in my stash!).  I thought it would work well for this challenge.  I first die cut the frame into white cardstock then stamped the coordinating stamps.  I cut a piece of gray cardstock to fit behind the white die cut panel and stamped the sentiment.  I spritzed the panel with shimmer before mounting it on the card base with fun foam.
