Muse: ChristmasVisions 55
Greetings Everyone,
Playing cards with Kevin Bray who is the guest designer this week. The card he provided for our inspirations is so fun ... the penguin is perfect. For my card I used the general layout, a snow slope, ink-blended sky (blue and purple hues), Christmas gifts, Merry Christmas sentiment. I chose to use one of the Crazy Birds for my main element because I have no penguin that would work. For added interest, the snow slope was painted with a couple coats of clear WOS to give it some sparkle, and a few snowflakes were added to the sky.
Hope your day is enjoyable.

Muse Challenge 176
Less is More 286 and 287 - Use Something Tactile
Playing cards with Linda, the guest Muse, this week. Her card is beautiful with a partial die cut feature and an angled panel. For my card I chose to use a partial die-cut (part of the sentiment) with pink tone panel and flowers. The panel color was achieved by blending a couple of pink toned distress inks. The flowers were colored with shades of pink Copic markers. For interest added were small clear gems, clear WOS on the flower petals, glaze to the flower centers, etc., and a couple of the flowers placed behind the die cut sentiment.
Also playing in the LIM challenge - the tactile features are the die-cut sentiment, gemstones and slightly raised flower on the white panel.
Hope your summer day is enjoyable.

Playing cards with the folks at MCV where Cornelia provided a colorful fun card for our enjoyment. The blended colors are amazing so I did the same. Santa has come and gone as evidenced by the presents and sentiment!! A few gems add sparkle to the tree.
Wish you a fun day!

Muse Challenge #175
Today, playing cards with Jenni who is this week's Muse. She provided a beautiful card for our inspirations. My card is an almost-CASE ... same large flower (love this stamp set), similar layout and colors, Happy Birthday sentiment. In lieu of the small flowers, I chose to embellish with some yellow enamel dots. To the center of the flower I added some additional detail with a white Gelly Roll pen and a black enamel dot.
Wish you a fun day!

Playing in two challenges:
MFT - Camp Create - Magnificent Masking
Less is More - Repetition
For the background I die cut a mask from the MFT - Die-namics - Jumbo Dot Cover Up. The repeating dots were achieved using the mask to ink blend with MFT Dye Inks (Orange Zest, Red Hot and Ripe Raspberry). A bold sentiment stamped in black and rhinestones that pick up the colors of the dots complete the card.
Wish you a fun day!

Greetings Everyone,
My card for two challenges:
MFT - Camp Create - Background Bonanza
CAS Mixup - Stamping, Markers plus another feature of choice (Heat Embossing)
On the Kraft card stock flowers were randomly stamped and colored with Prismacolor markers. Details on and outlines around the flowers were made using a white Gelly Roll marker. (The inspiration to outline the flowers in white came from Francine.) On black card stock the sentiment was stamped with white pigment ink and heat embossed. A thin strip of gold foil designer paper was added to provide interest and a finishing touch between the Kraft and black. To complete the card a few clear rhinestones were added to the flowers.
Wish you a fun day!

Greetings!
Playing cards in MFT Summer Camp (Inlaid Dies) and ATC (Stripes).
The stripes on my card were made by using a black marker to make stripes in various sizes. Then the stripes were colored with 16 different colors of Copics (2 hues of each color). The inspiration for the stripes was from Francine's blog. Two cuttings of the 'thanks' sentiment were made - one from the striped panel and one from white card stock. The white die-cut sentiment was inlaid into the striped panel.
Wish you a fun day!

Muse Challenge #174
Greetings Everyone!
Tracey provided a cute card for our inspirations this week. For my card I used similar layout, green ink blending, animal friends, sparkle, popped up images and panel. Some of the blades of grass were given a coating of clear WOS. Pandas need a little bling ... right? Actually, some of the green ink took on a life of it's own ... so, a few small clear rhinestones cover the blemishes nicely!!
Wish you a pleasant day!

Greetings!
Another camp session ... summer is fun!
For my card I used gold foil designer paper and blue and gold patterned Washi tape for the shiny elements. To create the stars I die cut Washi tape strips and gold foil designer paper with a snow drifts cutting plate, rearranged the pieces and die cut one star with a pierced star die and the smaller stars with dies from a MFT Blueprints set. The main panel is adhered to a gold foil panel insert.
Hope your summer is enjoyable!

Tag You're It #51
Greetings Everyone!
Today, playing tag with the creative peeps where Donna Mikasa is the featured designer and Julie Beech is the guest designer. For my tag, I used similar colors as Donna's tag although mixed up. The background is Worn Lipstick Distress Ink sprayed with gold shimmer. I like the look of black and white stripes so added a strip of diagonal stripes on one side. The flower was stamped with Wild Honey Distress Ink. The details in the flower were stamped with a combination of Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers to get an aqua teal color. The enamel dots match the flower details.
Also, submitting to AAA Card Challenge Game #68 Tags.
Hope your summer weather is beautiful wherever you live.

CASology - cue card Chevron
Hello Everyone,
Today, I'm playing cards with the CASology challenge. The cue word is Chevron. For my card, I used 6 tropical colors cut with a Chevron cutting plate. Then each chevron strip was glued starting with pink, purple, turquoise, green, yellow, orange and continuing in that order. Then the strips were cut vertically and glued. The next step was to cut with a die (I used the Pierced Frames Die). To add some additional dimension the frame piece was popped up. The panel is finished with a die-cut 'thanks' sentiment in white.
Also, this card is for the The Heart Desires Challenge 2 with a focus on the (tropical) colors.
Hope you're enjoying your summer,
Marilyn
