Colorful Creations Challenge at Flourishes

Hi there! We are having a little thunder storm today, so I stayed in and played with my stamps. Yeah!!
Anyway Flourishes had this color challenge and I just love the color choice and beautiful image.

The challenge is to use a least three colors of the color pallet and I used Copic's trying to pick most of the colors as close as I had.

The stamp set used is from Flourishes "With Graditude" I'm especially fond of this gorgeous set.

Hope you are having a great week-end and thanks for stopping by.

SOTW at Repeat Impressions

Hi there! It's Monday and time for the stamp of the week at Repeat Impressions. You can get this cute image " Fairy's Fun/ Bumblebee" #4302 at 50% off for a limited time. You can get all the info and coupon code at RI blog- The House That Stamps Built.

If I could fly, I think I would like to fly among the clouds, so was the inspiration for my card. I colored the image with Copic's and sponged the cloud background with GKD Ocean Mist. Then I added some Stickles to the wings.

A few of the rock stars have some more samples for your inspiration.

Designer's Choice Challenge at RI

Hello there! Today at Repeat Impressions is the Designer's Choice Challenge brought to you by Deonna. She has delighted us with this fun challenge to make a shaped card or project. No squares or rectangle. How fun is that!!
This super cute image is "Scruffy Puppy" #8120, "Paw Prints" #8122 and the sentiment " Dogs Are Not" #8111 all are from Repeat Impressions. Colored with Copic's.

Now this just reminded me so much of my daughter's beloved pet she lost last year, Pebbles, who was the happiest dog ever and always had her yellow tennis ball ready to play. To make the ball I colored a embellishment with Copic's and drew in the line with a black zig pen.
I would share this  template I made with you but not sure how to make it so it would print out the right size.

Here is a look at the inside.

Be sure to check out all the marvelous creations the rest of the team has came up with.
