High Quality Birthday

 If you know me AT ALL, you know I have to celebrate 4/20! I am a huge cannabis advocate, enthusiast, supporter, whatever. I have been using cannabis medically since I was 16 years old to treat my migraine headaches. I now run one of the most well-known cannabis competition and tradeshows with my husband, we will have our 10th year this November. If you're interested in checking it out and seeing what I do for my "real" job, you can visit The Harvest Cup site here.

I'd like to enter my card into the:

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - H is for Happy Birthday

I created the background papers, which I also used for the sentiment and the die cut cannabis leaf, by applying Lindy's Magicals to some watercolor paper. I then used my cannabis leaf cover plate die cut and cut it out of black cardstock, layering it over the watercolored piece. I used Versafine Black for the sentiment and embossed with clear embossing powder. Peace.

Loving Memory

 Unfortunately, I've had a need for way too many sympathy cards lately so this won't go to waste or sit in my stash! I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Krafty Chicks - Clean and Simple

CAS on Friday #332 - Sympathy

Fab n' Funky #635 - Clean and Simple

Dragonfly Dreams - Clean and Simple

AAA Colourful #27 - Colour Board

I made a one layer card, stamping the image and sentiment (Unity Stamp Co.) directly on the card with Versafine Black and embossing with clear embossing powder. I colored with Lindy's Magicals and flicked some of the extra all over the card. I sponged the edges in black to finish it off. Peace.

I have been doing a great job using up my ridiculous stash of designer papers! LOL These are from an old pad from My Mind's Eye. Image is a digi from Sweet November, colored with Copics. I used a stitched edge nesting rectangle die to cut everything out. Sentiment is a sticker from a Tim Holtz book. Peace.

Be YOUnique

 Good morning!  I'm guest designer for the Girlz and the Art of Letters challenge this week, where the letter is Y! I went with Yellow and "Younique" ;)

My image is Emo Elenora Sunflower from Just Some Lines (no longer in business), colored with Copics and then I layered her inside the Polaroid die cut frame, fussy cutting only her pony tails to hang down outside the frame. I added a die cut filmstrip and paper flower along with some rhinestone stickers. My papers are from my stash - an old 6x6 pad from My Mind's Eye.

And one more for today - this one is for the following challenges:

Make My Monday - Monotone

Shopping Our Stash - I Don't Sweat, I Sparkle!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

I had this background in my stash, a dreamy watercolored-looking green so I went with green for my monotone! I stamped the rubber stamp from the Sparkle Big Kit at The Greeting Farm with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. The stamps are from my stash as well as the sentiment, which was printed out, die cut, and sponged with some green ink. I added some green rhinestone stickers to finish it off.  Peace. 

You Inspire Me

 I had horrible dreams last night - actually early this morning - and woke up sobbing. It's not a fun way to start the day. I've been super busy the last week so I'm taking today to spend in my craft room. It always helps my mental health to be creative and artsy.

I'd like to enter this card below into:

The Paper Players #781

Try it On Tuesday - Make Your Own Background

I created the background by ink smooshing yellow & gray inks on a piece of watercolor paper. I then used black texture paste (Tim Holtz/Ranger) applied through my Geometric Butterfly stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code JennFan10 for 10% off!) and let it dry. I stamped the sentiment (an old one from My Favorite Things) with Versafine Black and embossed with a clear, sparkly embossing powder. Peace.
