A Vallentine Tag

I am in the mood for romance.  This little tag was made for Gecko Galz.  It uses one of their dancing couple images from one of their Two 2 Tango collage sheets.  The basic tag has a background made of  music designer paper which has a mannequin and a clock imprinted.  Additional items on the tag are a corner diecut from Cheery Lynn Designs, a couple of sticker hearts and sentiment and dainty lace down the side.  A loop of ribbon was attached instead of looping it over the tag hole..

 

Oops!

I goofed up and forgot to put in the link for entries for the challenge below THE LINK IS THERE NOW!

Challenge #53 - "You Have My Heart"

Valentine's Day is almost here so we thought you would want to do something dealing with the heart.  Your creation does not have to be a Valentine as such, but it must deal with the heart in some way.  Of course, it doesn't hurt to be romantic this time of year.

Vicki

This little card uses a Bird Couple image from Just Some Lines.  The two wedding birds are colored with watercolor pencils.  The image is then placed on the Waltzing Matilda die from Cheery Lynn Designs.  In the two upper corner are two corner dies from CLD.  Finishing off the card is a flower sticker.

Krisha

I chose Emo I will Catch You from Just Some Lines.  Such a cute and playful digi image, colored with markers then fussy cut out.  Quilted heart was made with snippets and the sentiment was taken from my Granddaughter's stash!

Michele

Here is a sweet little girl digital image from "Just Some Lines" and she is bringing Valentine wishes. I colored her with pencils and laid her out on a heart doily with decorative papers. She is definitely getting me in the mood for Valentine's Day and making many more cards with heart themes! I hope you'll join the fun.

 

Sharon

I just love the "Emo" Character from Just Some Lines - she's so cute!! I've made this tag with Distress Stains and coloured Emo to match, added some lettering, rubber stamped swirl and a sheer ribbon to the top!

My tag has been made from distressed and gessoed cardboard.
 

 

Rene

I have used Emo Amber and the Heart Balloon to create my CAS card. I added some fine-liner hearts to the red base card. The colouring was done with my pencils and is really accents of colour. I hope that it conveys the theme and inspires many of you to come and join us!

My sponsor is Just Some Lines.

Jenn Borjeson: Guest Designer and Former DT Member

I used Wedded Bliss (http://justsomelines.com/shop/wedded-bliss-birds-p-666.html), printed directly onto the DP and colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits. I added some glitter and a sticker sentiment. 

Now for my sponsor

Just Some Lines has some great stamps that we will be showcasing the next couple weeks.  Drop by their site and see if there is something there that you can use.  I am sure there is.   JSL is giving 4 digis of your choice to the random generated winner.

Drunken Stampers Challenge #113

This is my first card for Drunken Stampers.  The theme is "Groundhog Day" or a "furrry animal".  Well, there are no groundhogs around my house (in or out) so I  used a furry rabbit who is not letting Groundhog Day concern him.  He seems more content with taking a nap in a warm bath.  Let the old groundhog see his shawdow.  He can handle six more weeks of winter!

He is a Stampabilities stamp, colored with Copic markers.  The background is various background stamps  (unknown).  His little comment is computer generated. 

If you have a chance, drop over to the Drunken Stampers blog and enter a groundhog or a furry animal in the challenge.  Below are the dates of the challenges.

Second Week of Being "Charmed"

This is the beginning of the second week of Just Some Lines' challenge using a charm.

My little image is hanging on to my charm which really looks like an oversized stone.  She is colored with Copic markers and I thought the rub-on sentment was perfect for her,  I very aeldom use stickers and I have so many of them so the little hearts were placed on the border.  It seems that everything I have done the past two weeks has either been red or pink. Maybe my color scheme will change after Valentine's Day.

New Design Team Post

I am so excited! I am a new member of Drunken Stampers Design Team.  I will also be posting information about their challenges here so you can drop over and enter.  I am looking forward to working with this group. 

The DT is broken down to two groups:  Midnight Margaritas sand Bahama Mamas.  I am on the Midnight Margaritas which is great as I seem to be on the computer at midnight every night. The groups will be alternating for the Saturday challenges.

A Fond Farewell and a Welcome Back

It is with regret that the Design Team is losing Jenn Borjeson as she has her plate full at the moment with posting to her own blog and being coordinator of the challenges of two other blogs.  We wish her well and I am sure you will see some more of her great creations on this site from time to time and on her own blog Wicked Wednesday.

At the same time we welcome back La Creatia (Krisha) Ogle.  She has been a member of the team before and I know you will love what she is going to create for the various challenges.  Welcome back.

Art Journal- Page Two

I know a lot of people do a page a day on their art journal.  I have two- that's not bad for a month!  I am just feeling my way around on this craft venue.  I am just loving doing the backgrounds.  Where I need help is what to put in the foreground.  Well here it is my second page.  I hope you can see the symbolism in it. 

.My hubby wanted to know if I was making a ransom note with all the cutting of the letters out of the newspaper.!  I had completely demolished the newspaper before he got to read it.  The background is basically watercolors

Second Week of Challenge

We are beginning the seond week of the"Tickled Pink" challenge.  Scroll down to find the challenge announcement and the thumbnails for those who have entered already. We would love to see your take on the theme.  Below are some of the creations by the Design Team.

Vicki

With all this cold weather I just had to make a Spring-looking card.  This is Digi Darla's Garden Girl I image.  There are a number of digitals in this series.  I did a little fussy cut around her and placed her on a bed of flowered designer paper.   She is colored with Copic markers.  On the left side is a more ornate piece which was made by stamping (unknown) an orgnate scrollwork on cardstock.  The sentiment was made with the omputer and reads "I'm Tickeled Pink when I grow a beautiful flower."

 

Michele

For week two I chose Digi Darla's Party Flamingo. Since it is a digital image I was able to create two facing flamingos which I printed and colored with pencils and outlined with silver gel pen. Decorative papers and stickers complete my festive card. These flamingos are tickled pink to be celebrating!

Rene

I used the cute Digidarla's Blessing of Heaven 3 for my pink baby card. The card has layers of solid pink and white and a paper doily and bow to create a 'window'. The coloured image was fussy cut and 3D'd on top. Some glitter pen add a little sparkle. I'm looking forward to see some more fabulous pink creations this week!

 

 

My sponsor is Digi Darla again this week.  They have a great array of digital images for every theme.  You must go by the site and check it out.  They are offering some of their digital to the random generated winner of this challenge so scroll down and take part.

Petra

This week I incorporated all shades of pink I could get hold off on my tag ... from very pale pink to red-pink and complemented it with just a bit of turquoise. The wonderful bird image is again from our sponsor Digi Darla. I printed it, cut it out and coloured it with Copics. The background is inked and stamped with distress inks. As embellishments I added some little blings and a little flower.

Sharon

A very pink card using an Angie Delarie image and other pink embellishments!

 

 

JSL's Charm Challenge

Over at Just Some Lines blog there is having a challenge. using a charm.  I know  you will find this a fun challenge.  Here is my inspirational multi-layered card for the challenge.  The image is Just Some Lines' Amber with a Heart Balloon.  She is colored with Copics Markers.  My little charm is a glass oval resemblinga mirror.   After coloring the  balloon, I covered it with Stickles.

Art Journal - Page One

 I thought I would get brave and try my hand a am art journal.  I finished my first page t his week on a piece of watercolor paper.  This was so much fun and liberating.  This piece was purely experimental, but I hope you like.    It was so much fun to do.

First I completely covered my watercolor paper with watercolors.  I had no pattern in mind.  I just put them on to covered all the white of the paper.

Next I airburshed the surface with Copic markers.

 

Next I stamped a doll parts stamp by Paula Best.  It was not very large so I stamped all the parts on a piece of paper, scanned and printed it out on my printer after increasing the size.  I have no idea how large I increased the pieces as they were all on one sheet.  Afterwards, I glued them on.  I wanted her to hold something in her hand.  I did not have any pictures as all my magazines have been thrown away (just when I needed them!) so I went to the web and found a nice pic of an apple and enlarged it to fit her hand.  The head on the doll is a picture of me and on top of it I place one of the heads from the stamp.

I was thrilled that the head fit my face perfectly.  If you look closely you will see that the eyes and lip fit together.

 

This was so much fun to make; I think I will try again.
