FTTC#73 Fruit Inspired

Hi there!  It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC73)! It is the last Tuesday of the month so we have a challenge host.  This month's host is Cindy Coutt's.  Cindy is giving us a fruit inspired challenge.  You can actually create a card with fruits,  use fruity colors, or be inspired by fruit shapes.  It will be  a cool and refreshing sweet treat whichever choice you decide. We look forward to seeing what you create.

Thank you Cindy for the fun challenge! I took the easy road and used this sweet Strawberry set.

 

The fun dp is from The Sasha Paper Collection. I colored the image with Copics.

See all the wonderful fruit inspired creations from the blog team and Cindy.

Timeless Tuesday Sketch!!

Hi there! I hope all is well your way, things have been CRAZY here!! I'm SO happy to start a new week LOL.

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC72) This week Silke Ledlow is hosting. She is challenging us to a sketch she has designed. As far as sketches go, there is not much of an explanation necessary. You can turn it and modify the shapes to fit your size card, but in the end, it should still look like the sketch. Good Luck!!! We cannot wait to see what you do with it!

Here is Silke's sketch

Here is my take on the sketch. I really enjoyed working with this sketch and stamp set thanks Silke!!

I used A Guiding Light stamp set from Flourishes on this card. the image is colored with Copics.

Make sure you stop by the FOF blogs to see what wonderful creations they have made!!

FTTC#71 Stopping By:)

Hi there! It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC71)!  This week Cindy Haffner is our challenge host.  Cindy is challenging us to embossing.  There are a lot of different types of embossing options to choose from, such as heat, stencil, plates, folders, scoring, textured die cuts, and more.  In addition, there are many different techniques to combined with embossing.  You can  also use anything from vellum, clear cardstock, or other textures for your embossed projects.  We would love to see what you all create.

Thanks Cindy for the fun challenge, I haven't heat embossed in forever so this one is for you:) LOL I really didn't do anything exciting.  I stamped, colored and cut this beautiful hummingbird using Copics. I smeared Versamark over it and dunked it in clear embossing powder heat set it and was done. Here is my card. This is one of the cards I will be teaching at my next class on July 15, 2010 for more info email me at [email protected]  click on the photo to enlarge.

Here's a closer look at the bird.

The image is colored with Copics. I cut the yellow flowers out and glued them where I wanted them to be. The hummingbird was also cut out embossed and popped up on a thin dot.

PDCC #32 Spring Flowers

Hi there! I haven't had time to played in the Play Date Cafe challenge in a few weeks. I really loved the inspiration photo so I thought I'd give it a try:) The stamp set isSpring Bouquet from Flourishes, I cut a large portion off the image to make it fit my design. I used Copics to color the bouquet. Here's our inspiration

 

Here's my card. 

I need to make several cards for my sister to mail to a loved one. To save her money with postage I've been making my cards without bows or bulk. Here I used some super thin pop dots. The dp is by Daisy D's.

FTTC One Layer Card!!

Hi there! It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC69)! This week Barbara Anders is hosting! Barbara is challenging us to a one layered card. Not much explanation required with this challenge! Go have fun and show us what you can do! 

Today is your lucky day! One of the FOF Blog Team designers has the Cherry Blossom set up for grabs!! To win it just visit all the FOF blogs and leave a comment on each blog. One winner will be chosen from all the comments. Good Luck :)

Have you seen the Cherry Blossom set from Flourishes? Wow it is gorgeous and currently my favorite set!! When I saw today's challenge I knew using this set would produce a gorgeous card with little or no effort, it stands on it's own colored or not! How cool is that? I did color my image using Copics and Chalk. After coloring the Cherry Blossoms I went around the outer edge with C1. I then added a bit of yellow and distress ink. Over the sentiment I used blue chalk. The sentiment is from the Spring Bouquet set.

Don't forget to check out the FOF Blogs for a chance to win this gorgeous set!!
