What I like to wear

Hi everyone!! I have new card to show you, it is for two different challenges. Lynn over at StampTV is hosting this weeks Potluck challenge and we were to make a card about our favorite things to wear. I have a lot but if you were to see every day mostly you would see me in this Tee shirt, tennis shoes and always earrings. I made the earring using gold pearl and I drew the wire with a Marvy gel pen. Trying to make it look like earrings on a card.
The stamps I used are by Melanie Muenchinger "Little Tees" and" School,Sports, Spirit"
Copics
pearls
ribbon
Su paper Pretty an Pink, Sage and basic gray
Basic Grey DP
Marvy gold gel pen
The color challenge at SCS is Pink. gray and sage. CC238.
Another preview tonight at StampTV and from what I have seen so far it is Fantastic! It's at 8:00 P.M.
Thanks for stopping by.

Always on my mind!

Hi there! Hope you are all having a great weekend!! The weather here is just beautiful right now but the weatherman says fall is starting on Monday and it's going to get cold! Bummer!
I made this card for the featured stamper challenge over at SCS. The featured stamper is Tankgrl. I have admired her cards for some time now.
I choose this card for inspiration.
The things I changed are:
Different DP
Different BG color
Different sentiment
I used the cracked glass technique, Gina K. has a great tutorial over at StampTV if you haven't tried that yet. The CS I used is SU Always Artichoke, black and white.
The Dp is Basic Grey and ribbon. I stamped the image with Craft white on Sahara sand card stock.
I almost forgot to tell you the image is SU Upsy Daisy as well the sentiment.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

A Year of Leaves!

Good evening! Wow can you believe how fast this month went? This my final week with Melanie Muenchinger! I so enjoyed working with her and this fantastic set "A Year of Leaves" I'm kinda sad for it to be over. I still have lots of ideas for this set.

Some info on my cards starting with the top card.
No coloring on this card other I did some sponging around the top edges. The leaf is stamped on "All about Autumn" digital DP from Gina K. Designs. Then I cut it out, so easy. The punch is by Friskers and the card stock is from Gina K. pure luxury pumpkin spice and black and white. The ribbon is from a craft store in Oregon . Nestabilities and MS punch.

The bottom card is another wreath of acorns I did. I colored the acorns with copic's and cut them out.I made a ring of card stock and arranged the acorns around it. The cord is from Gina K. The card stock is Gina's digital "All bout Autumn" and SU. I added self adhesive pearls.
If you haven't been to Melanie's blog she has posted some more of my cards.
A huge thank you! Melanie!

Thanks for visiting my blog and do come on back.

Now with the jacket I stamped on a old pair of jeans, cut it out and went around the edges with Fray Check. I added some light blue for shading and then some self adhesive silver brads. The bag after I colored it, I made openings for the shoes.

Yum! Tomato

Good morning, hope you all are having a great day. I'm so thrilled to be guest designer for Melanie Muenchinger illustrator for Gina K Designs. The card I'm showing here today is from her newest set "A Year of Leaves" I just love this set it can be used so many different ways. It is just the perfect set to use with other sets to change a look and give more uses to your set. My card is an example of this. So I combined "A Year of Leaves" with a set by Gina K "Summer Harvest" I used the tomato from summer harvest and drew in a longer stem and the rest is from A year of leaves.
I colored with copic's and embossed the caterpillar and used stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the leaf right over the caterpillar, I then colored and cut out the leaf.
I could just that caterpillar eyeballing that tomato.
Supplies:
copics
self adhesive pearls
ribbon
DP is Basic Grey-June Bug.
Cardstock is rocket red from Gina K Designs.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you come back again.
