C4C242

Hey Crazy Peeps! Last challenge for June over at Crazy4Challenges! This time its about the weather! Whether the weather is cold or hot! LOL Are ya down under? It's COLD, here in the US it's "Summertime".... I have that in quotes as we are YET to experience something besides a random nice day.... **sigh**

Speaking of random! I used a cute little stamp from A Random Fan for my card today! These little stamps from this company just make me smile! So CUTE!!!!!

I stamped her and colored her using Copics. Doodlebug DP and a TCP Cut up for accent along with a bit o bling!

Head on over the C4C and see what's going on around the world weather wise! :)

Crazy4Challenges 240

Hey Peeps! It's time for another challenge over at Crazy4Challenges. Yep, this week... STENCILS.... I used a die and cut out a reverse mask to use as a stencil...

I then stamped my Fine Feathers onto the blocked area. I colored the stamps with my markers using Smoky Slate and Basic Gray. I sponged more Smoky Slate around the edges then peeled the "stencil" off! :) The sentiment comes from the set Simply Sketched. Both of these sets are retired... I'm on a kick of using ALL of my retired sets.... LOL, better late then never right??? ;)

OK head on over to C4C and see the other stenciled cards!!!

Virginia's View #3

HA!

Sneaky Peek day 4 with The Cats Pajamas

HEY HEY HEY!!! It's TIME for ANOTHER PEEK!!!! This set... I admit, it made me SQUEE a lil bit!!!! ;)

Vintage Summer is it's name. I LOVE THIS SET!!!!! I took my stamp and inked it up in Cherry Cobler SU ink, then stamped it onto my Designer paper. I cut it out using the Framed Up 1 set large frame. I then inked it up again and stamped it onto Whisper White CS and then used the medium die and cut out a section of the image and then mounted them together using dimensionals. I added the combo onto some gorgeous star DP and then some randomly placed wooden stars to continued with the rustic look.
