Birthday Bear

This is my team card for

Pattie's Creations.

The theme this month is Bears.

For my card, I'm working with the image Bear with Balloons. 
I printed the image on kraft card stock and then colored the image with colored pencils.   I die cut the balloons and sentiment tag and then edged them all with Antique Linen distress ink.  The birthday sentiment was stamped in Antique Linen and clear emboss powder and lifted with foam adhesive.   The wood grain paper is from DCWV and everything was set on a side fold kraft cs base.  I added buttons and Neuvo drops to the top.
I hope you have fun playing along with this challenge this month.

Owl Boo

This is my team card for

Pattie's Creations.

The theme this month is Halloween

I am using the image, 'owl silhouette'.  I masked off the owl and then I blended Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin, Fired Brick, Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot distressed inks.  Using the die cut from MFTs, I cut the grass out of black cs.  The moon is a circle punch that I dipped a couple of times into Lawn Fawn glow in the dark embossing powder.  The multi dips gave it an awesome texture and I love that it glows.   The sentiment was edged with Wilted Violet distress ink.
I hope you have fun playing along with this challenge this month.

WEDDINGS

For my card, I started with the image "Pumps with Flowers"   I used a silver color pencil and navy marker on the shoes and then gave it a couple of coats of WinkOfStella to really make them sparkle (the photo doesn't do it justice - they are really glitzy).
For the champagne glasses, I grabbed a piece of white scrap and stamped a floral background stamp from MFTs and white embossing powder.  I then used the die from MFTs to cut the pair of glasses and masked off the stems and blended Antique Linen distress ink on the glass part.  The background paper is from a Tim Holtz pad.  The celebrate is stamped with a Hampton Arts stamp with Faded Jeans distress in and topped with clear embossing powder. The paper was anchored onto a sand color cs front that was anchored onto cream side fold cs base.  I added various sized bubbles from the glass using clear neuvo drops.

For my addition to the design team work, I chose "Mermaid Crossing".  I colored the tail in marker and Kaisercraft glitter gel pens.  I love them.  I love them alot.
First I brushed with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and my water brush.  Then I used a Kaisercraft ripple stencil and blended and blended with distress inks: Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers moving the stencil with each color change.   Then I set that to the side for a bit to dry fully.

Up and Away

Hello Everyone, this is my design team
contribution for

Pattie's Creations

The Theme this month is
Anything Goes

The digi stamp is "Hot Air Balloon"

 from Pattie's Creations.

For my card, I colored the image with colored pencils and then topped various sections of the balloon with a Wink of Stella.  I then fussy cut the balloon out.

The background was created by stamping clouds by Neat and Tangled with embossing ink and white embossing powder.  I then smudged Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass distress ink and let that dry. Then smudged Broken China oxide in on top of that and wiped off any ink on the clouds.

From black card stock I cut the frame using MFT rectangle die.  

The ribbon banner was stamped and fussy cut on maroon cs and then entirely covered in clear embossing ink and powder for a glossy finish.  

Everything was layered on a maroon side fold cs base.  The banner was added with dimensional squares so that it floats on the balloon.  With the glitter and shine it's so much fun !!

I hope you play along with us at Pattie's Creations and I wish you all the best of luck !!

Whooooooo

This is my design team contribution for

Pattie's Creations

The Theme is 'Anything that Flies'

The digi stamp is 'Hootie'

 from Pattie's Creations.

For this card, I started with a piece of white card stock and blended Antique Linen, Tumbled Glass and Shaded lilac and set that to the side 
The stamp was colored with both colored pencils and markers and then I fussy cut the whole image out very carefully.
The quote bubble and flag were cut with a die and then edged with Antique Linen to tie them together.  
Next I grabbed a piece of grey card stock and cut that for the front panel.  I then used my score board to emboss some lines across the the panel and changed up the width of the lines to make them random.  
I set the blended piece and then the owl onto of that ... then the flag and bubble were set using dimensional tape to raise them up.  Some cream Nuvo drops on the flag and around the card.


I hope you play with us and I can't wait to see what you come up with.


Have a great crafting day.

I added the peach, orange and white gross-gran ribbon across the bottom and then some gold and orange sequins in the corners and a couple of orange Nuvo drops.
