The Pink Elephant Challenge #29

Hello everyone;
Well it has been almost 2 weeks since my last post....I took a much needed rest. We have had some really nice weather lately, so I thought I better take advantage of it while it lasts.

I made this card for The Pink Elephant challenge. The challenge this week is a sketch. Don't ya love it when half the work is done for us...lol!!
The image I have used is "Popcorn the Bear"...."Birthday Hugs".



I embossed the image with black and painted it with Tombows. I used my white Inkssentials pen for the highlights. I embossed and painted the bow and tag again, cut them out and layered it. The yellow band was embossed with a CB folder. The paper from DCWV. I used stickles to glue down the dew drops, I like the sparkle effect it gives.

I have been having a lot of fun with these new stamp sets. The set I used for this card is "Thinking of You".





The images are embossed with black and painted with Tombows.
I used my CB swiss dots folder for the circle.I just love these back and front images. I cut them out and layered them on the edge of the card.

"Popcorn the Bear" stamp sets are now in Canada at The Rubber Room and can be shipped worldwide through The Rubber Room on-line store .

Have a great day, Thanks for stopping by....

A Spoon Full of Sugar #64......GDT card

Good morning everyone,
I was asked by my sweet friend Nikki to be a guest DT this week for her challenge blog...A Spoon Full Of Sugar. This weeks challenge is a fabulous sketch by Camilla. I have turned the sketch to fit my image.

This image is "Popcorn Bear" and I thought it would be great to use as I purchased the stamp set from Nikki's shop...Bunny-Zoe's Crafts. I absolutley adore these little bears!!



I embossed the images with black onto water colour paper. I painted them with Tombows. I used my white Inkssentials pen for the white highlights. I also added some stickles. The DP is from a DCWV paper stack. The border punch is from MS and I used my nesties to cut the circles. I stamped the sentiment with Stazon black onto some white shrink film, cut the edges with my fancy scissors and shrunk it.

I hope you like it!! Be sure to stop by the SPOS blog to see the gorgeous creations the DT has come up with to inspire you!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous day.

COLOUR CREATE CHALLENGE #24

Good morning everyone,
I haven't done too many challenges or too much blog stalking this week as we are on our last few days of holidays. There are still a few things we want to do...if it ever stops raining!! Actually yesterday was quite nice, but we will see what today will bring.

It's time for the Colour Create Challenge. The challenge is brought to you by Dena and she has chosen "Pink, Orange and Green". The optional extra is "Hearts".

Here is a little inspiration to help get your mojo going.



This fabulous image I am using today is "Popcorn the Bear". It was love at first sight with this little fella!!



I embossed the image with black onto water colour paper and painted it with Tombows. I used my white Inkssentials pen for the highlights. I also added lots of stickles. The corners are done with my basket weave punch. You can't see too much of my fab new raffia lace as these images are really large. I don't mind that the images are large, I just had to have them!! I bought the stamp and lace from "Bunny-Zoe's Store". The card measures 6.5 in.X 5.5in. I'm sure there will be a custom envelope made for this one. Other than the painting it was a quick card to put together.

I hope you will all have time to play along with us and remember it now runs for 2 weeks. The fab sponsor for this challenge is "Crafty Ribbons".
Be sure to pop on over to the Colour Create blog to see the gorgeous creations by the Design Team.

Have a great day.....Thanks so much for stopping by....
