You Are Amazing

I created this card for the SCS HYCCT1503 - symbols of fierceness, strength, camo, etc. Last year I Googled pink camo and found these cool digi papers.  I stamped the ribbon and sentiment from an Avocado Arts stamp set.  I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge for my layout.

Just a Note

I created this card for a few challenges: The SCS color challenge was to use Wisteria, Coral and Saffron.  I used the sketch from Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge for the layout and I was inspired by the Runway Inspired Challenge to use these Penny Black flowers (and the colors in the dress are close to the SCS challenge colors!  ETA: I meant to submit this earlier to the Penny Black and More Challenge for August: Summer Flowers.

I watercolored the flowers with Distress Inks and a paint brush.  The patterned paper is from paperTrey and I watercolored a piece of Tim Holtz card stock with the distress ink for the vertical strip so it would match the flowers.  The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti.  I colored all of the flowers with a clear Wink of Stella glitter pen.

Wish You Were Here

I created this little scene using the Sweet Sunday Sketch 279 for the Less Is More challenge which is to use snippets.
I stamped the Sweet 'N Sassy scene image onto white card stock.  I then stamped it again onto snippets of Penny Black and Prima patterned papers and paper pieced the sand, ocean and umbrella. I water colored the sky with a water color pencil and then cut the scene out with a Spellbinders Circle Nestability die. The sentiment banner was cut from another snippet of patterned paper and a Paper Smooches Double Ended Banner die.

SSS218 & 2nd Gen Spritzing

This is the result of the Distress markers directly colored onto a rubber stamp and spritzed again with water after stamping it once.  No added ink is used.  Scroll down to my last post to see the 1st generation stamping/spritzing.  I actually like the colors better in the first generation because they are more defined than here.  I used the sketch from Karen Giron - Sweet Sunday Sketch 218:

All paper is from PaperTrey except for the image panel which is the Tim Holtz Distress water color paper.  I used Distress Markers for the watercoloring.

Woodware USA Challenge #40 - New Technique

Welcome to WoodwareUSA's challenge #40 - to use a new technique.  I have never done the spotlight technique before and it really is so easy - but I tend to shy away from techniques.  I followed the instructions on SCS - you can find them here.  I used this cute image from WoodwareUSA's Mary and Friends set and this sketch is this week Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 131.  The patterned paper is from Basic Grey.
Now it's your turn to play - just create a new project using a new to you technique and link it directly to InLinkz on the WoodwareUSA blog for a chance to win a stamp set.  If you use WoodwareUSA stamps you will be entered twice for a chance to win!  And for more inspiration please check out what the other designers created while you are at the WoodwareUSA blog!
