Grateful For You

Hello friends - I would like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Fun with Funky Fossils FB Challenge

AllSorts #843 - AG/Embossing

Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

Stencil Fun - Create Your Own Background

As You Like It - Cute or Elegant (and why)

I have been making an effort to create more elegant cards, because I tend to make "cute" cards and they are not always appropriate for the occasion/situation!

I created my background with lots of inks and sprays and I used a honeycomb stencil from Visible Image. The bee stamp is from Funky Fossil's Bee Geometric set, and the "pollen" coming from his behind is from the Bokeh Flowers set... hee hee  The "Grateful for You" sentiment is from an old set that I believe was from MFT. Everything was stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored the bee with Copics & Stickles, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace. 

Don't Go Bacon My Heart

 I'd like to enter this card below into the following challenges today:

Lil Red Wagon #845 - I'm Seeing Red

Let's Craft & Create #228 - AG + From the Heart

I Love ProMarkers #600 - AG/Optional Love or Romance

Fab n' Funky #630 - Love is All Around

I make most of my cards 6 x 4.5 inches - so the piece that's left for a scrap is 2.5 x 6. I keep these scraps in a bag and pull them out to make mini cards once in a while, that's what I did here. I used a scrap of kraft for the cardstock base and sponged some red ink around it. I stamped the sentiment and the sweet pig from Tracey Hey's Streaky Bacon set directly on the kraft card base with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with Copics and a white gel pen. I die cut the hearts and attached them with foam dimensional tape and adhesive. Peace.

Celtic Mask Stencil - Pisces

 Good morning! Time for another project I created from the February release at:

You can use code JennFan10 for an additional 10% off your entire order!

This stencil is called Celtic Mask:

I applied Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink through the Celtic Mask stencil to create the background. I then stamped the flower & Pisces sentiment (Unity Stamp Co.) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored the flower with the same Bundled Sage ink and used a deckled edge circle die to cut it out. I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Stitch Valentine's Day

I'm always honored when friends and family ask me to create special cards for their loved ones! My son asked me to make a Valentine card for his fiancee, who LOVES Stitch... I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Try it on Tuesday - All Loved Up

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Spritz & Splatter

Passion for Markers - Don't be Square

Lil Red Wagon #845 - Seeing Red

I Love ProMarkers #600 - AG/Optional Love or Romance

I had a background in my stash that needed some oomph. It was just blue and red inks blended on watercolor paper, so I spritzed and sprayed and embossed until I was happy with the background. I then printed out Stitch, stamped "LOVE YOU" on his heart, colored with Copics and fussy cut. I attached with foam dimensional tape and made the "happy Valentine's Day" with my label makers. I finished it off with some sparkly sticky sequins. Peace.

Polkadoodles - Happy 30th Birthday!

   Welcome to a new challenge at Polkadoodles!  Our themes are always ANYTHING GOES and you have a chance to win a $20 voucher or one of two $10 vouchers!

Here is my creation for this week:

I made a 30th birthday card for a friend of mine. I printed out the Aquarius sign from the Zodiac/Horoscope Star Sign Constellation set and "Happy Birthday" from the Birthday Sentiments & Greetings Set on a piece of white cardstock and cut it out with a stitched edge rectangle die. I created the background by blending Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink on a piece of watercolor paper and spritzing with water, then blotting with a paper towel. I used an Aquarius symbol stamp in Aqua and die cut the numbers 30 from a scrap of the distressed background. I spritzed the whole thing lightly with a silver Mica Spray Stain and added some blue rhinestone stickers.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Spritz & Splatter

Seize the Birthday - CAS with Dies

Peace.
