Art Impressions Challenge #12

Hi Everyone.

Just to let you know, I have been working with some new Spellbinder Dies that I just got in and they are so cool.  First let me show you the card I made.

Stamped Image - Art Impressions - M3311 Bunny In Tulips

Stamped sentiment-Art Impressions - F3120 Dotted        Happy Easter

Corner punch - Martha Stewart

Ink- India Ink (My Favorite)

Die used to cut around stamped image (Spellbinders)-

     S4-295 Lacy Squares

Die used to cut post (Spellbinders)-

      S5-032 Elegant Posts

Die used to cut banner (Spellbinders)-

       S4-324 Ribbon Banners

Markers used - Copic

The new dies that I used on this card are the Ribbon Banner and the Elegant Posts. These are so nice. I fell in love with both of these sets when Spellbinders had their sneak peek of all the new items that were going to be intro'd at CHA. Of course I fell in love with all the new sets. That seems like eons ago.

Just a reminder, you still have time to get you Easter cards done and in the mail. Thought this cute little guy would inspire you, maybe???

I had this card half done when I saw the challenge theme at Art Impressions for this week, it's ANYTHING GOES! so I am submitting it to their latest challenge.

By he way, just to toot my horn a little, I have been selected to be the guest designer on the Art Impressions blog for the month of May. (YAHOO!!!!) I was doing the happy dance last night when I found out. And and before I forget, they have just introduced two great new stamp sets in the watercolor series, A Stroll Down Main Street, and you can be sure that I will be getting those. They are so fantastic looking.

Well that is all for now, see you soon and thanks for stopping by,

Art Impressions Challenge #11

Time for another challenge. This one is going to be entered in the Art Impressions Color Combo Challenge Number 11 and the theme is...Black,Blue and Tan!

I have had this stamp for quite a while and thought I'd use it in this challenge.

Stamp is T-1255 Carousel

Corner Punches - Just Imagine/Kreations

Die cuts - Spellbinders

Markers used - Copic

The dark CS is black even though it looks dark brown in this picture.












This carousel horse reminds me of summer fun and going to the amusement park . What does it remind you of??? Well, I gotta go and work on a few projects, so have a great Monday and stop back for more inspiration!!!

Crafters Companion Challenge

Hi everyone,
Thought you'd like to see a card that I made for the challenge over at Crafter's Companion. I recently purchased some of their stamps and this fairy set ,which is so cute, was among the sets I bought. As soon as I got this stamp set I made this card but didn't know what I was going to do with it. Then I spied the challenge over at Crafters Companion. I added  the small yellow flowers to finish the card and decided this would work great for their challenge. Here is their criteria:
The challenge this month is to use your Crafter's Companion products and incorporate flowers into it. It's up to you how you want to include flowers. Your project can be a card, a layout, mini album, or altered item.

So here is my creation and what I used to create this card.
Stamp Set - Fairies Buttercup set from Crafter's Companion
Labels 10 - Spellbinders
Small shaped flowers - Lotus Punch from Just Imagine/Kreations
Ribbon - unknown (in my stash)
Markers - Copic
Cardstock-PopTones

Yellow makes me think of spring and I do believe its finally on its way. I hope I have inspired you today. That's it for now, hope you enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by,
