Giggle-- Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps

This card has all of my favorite colors in it.  Lime green, orange and bright pink....that combination makes me happy.

This stamp is from Sparkle Creations Rubbers Stamps.  I colored the image with copic markers, cut out with nestabilities and inked the edges.  The sentiment is from a fiskars set.

Thanks for looking.  Have an awesome day!

OWH-VCMP Challenge #6- Piece of Birthday

I'm back again!  I've never had so many posts in one day.  In fact, my blogger shut down on me for a bit in protest!  I had to take google's little confirmation test to get it back up and running.

Challenge #6 is from Elizabeth at Visions of Paper.  The challenge is to make a masculine birthday card using paper piecing.  I used Some Odd Girl stamp, I paper pieced the birthday cake.

Thanks for looking!

Take the scenic route-- OWH Virtual Card Making Party

Welcome to my blog and to Operation Write Home's Virtual Card Making Party!!!  If you are a follower of mine and want to see what all the fun is about, go to Operation Write Home to catch up!


 My challenge is for you to build a scene using at least three different stamps.  This was a challenge for me too....this is my first ever scene card.  It didn't come together easily for me, but the mojo finally hit.  I'm quite pleased with my scene card! My only regret is that it's not *me* hanging out in that hammock right now! =)

I used a stamp set from The Stamps of Life.  There are five different stamps in total used to make my scene.  Here's how my card came together.....

• I stamped the palm tree trunks in french roast brown ink then colored them in with copic markers
• the hammock is stamped with black ink then colored in with copic markers
• I stamped the palm leaves in lime green, cut them out then inked over some of the leaves in grass green
• I used latte ink to stamp the sand under the hammock and around the trees
• Cobalt blue ink was used in stamping the sand dollar
• The blue water background is chalked
• the palm tree leaves are popped up using foam dots

How about some fun blog candy??  I have some rub-ons, epoxy shapes, coaster tags and frame stickers to one lucky random participant.  Check back Monday evening to see who is the big winner!  

Time to play along!  Show us your scene. 

OWH-VCMP Challenge #5- Falling for you

Challenge #5 is from Sybrina at Scrapping with Purpose.  Her challenge was to make a card that reflects something falling.

I chose one of my Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps for this challenge.  Rainy Day Ruby was already colored, she just needed a purpose!  When I thought of something falling, I thought of rain (well duh, I do live in Washington state!)...then I thought of the phrase "rain drops are falling on my head".  I'm a musical fan, and Singing in the Rain is one I really like.

Thanks for looking!  Have an awesome day.
