Welcome home (GCA48 and MOJO94)

Hi girls - I have not had a chance to post anything in awhile, summers are so crazy around here. I made this card for two challenges this week - Ann's and Mojo Monday, be sure to check out both places and join in on the fun. I was not sure what I was going to use when I started but for Ann's challenge we needed to go back to basics, so for me basics was a paper cutter, paper, a couple punches and markers. My paper is DSP teagarden, and the stamp set is Welcome home. I used pretty in pink, whisper white and lavender lace along with the DSP. I colored in my stamp using Stampin' Up! markers, placed it all together and there ya have it.

Fifth Ave Rose (GCA47 & Mojo93)

It's been a couple weeks since I posted anything, we have been really busy around our house now that it is summertime. My card this week is for Ann's challenge and the Mojo Monday challenge. For Ann's challenge, it was to use reds, pinks, oranges and yellows so I used real red base, that is dry embossed with the swirly texture plate from Stampin' Up! My other colors are only orange, and yo yo yellow. I used the watercolor re-inker technique on my flower and placed that along with the saying on dimensionals. My swirl on the yellow cardstock is from Baroque Motifs, and my saying along with the rose are from Fifth Avenue Floral. I embellished with red ribbon, and orange rhinestone brads. Be sure to join in on the fun, check out the challenges and submit your own entrys.

Simple (GCA43) & Dream a little (Mojo89)

For my first card I made it Clean and Simple (CAS) for Ann's challenge this week. This was very hard for me to do because it looks very plain and boring to me and I normally would add more to a card - I am not sure I care for it much but it is a simple cute card for sure. I used riding hood red cardstock for the base, a strip of basic black and added a flower/rhinestone from the pretties kit. My saying "may all your dreams come true!" is a stamp from Michaels.
For my next card, it was made for the Mojo Monday challenge this week and I think this one turned out adorable. I used So saffron for the base, a walk in the park dsp, certainly celery and whisper white cardstock. My butterflys are in kiwi kiss, and I added some buttons and rose ribbon to spice it up a little. My flower I made dimensional as you can tell more in the second picture below. I colored in my flower with regal rose stampin' marker and just used the same marker to go over the lines to make it look darker. I used the stamp set Dream a little and took the small flower to make the decoration on my circle part.

Forgotten embellishments mojo (GCA42 & Mojo88)

Hello Everyone,
I made this card for Ann's challenge this week of neglected embellishments along with the Mojo Monday sketch. The stamp set is a set I received while in Bay City at the Michigan Mingle, the lighthouse is up on dimensionals and is suppose to be giving the effect that it is in front of the sign if you were looking at it from down the beach. My embellishments are the Metal light house and palm tree which I bought a few years ago and they have sat in a drawer. I used Night of Navy as my base, Handsome Hunter, Whisper White and Prestwick DSP for my other papers. My ribbon is navy grograin and my scallop is made w/two scallop punches that were opened and put around the circle to make it big enough. My stamped images were colored in using my few copic markers which I am really loving alot and need to get more now. Thanks for checking out my site and be sure to check out Anns along with Mojo Monday and join in on the fun.

Black, WHite, and Red Mojo (GCA 41 & Mojo Monday 87)

I created this card with two challenges in mind, Ann's challenge of black, white and red along with Mojo Monday Week 87. My base is basic black cardstock, the top white portion is embossed with the textiles swirl look, and the bottom portion is the black textiles paper. My red is riding hood red, the center strip was punched with the new scallop punch, and the scallop circle was made with the big shot. The white circle w/my saying which is from Michael's and the flower from the stamp set Fifth Avenue Floral was made with the circle scissors. My other flower is from the pretties kit, along with the pearls along the bottom. I put a little bit of riding hood red ink around it to pop it out more and my scallop saying is up on dimensionals. I threw on a white taffeta bow to top it off. Be sure to check out the Mojo Monday and Ann's challenges each week and join in on the fun.

Beautiful (Mojo Monday 86)

This is my card for this weeks Mojo Monday challenge. I used the Eastern Blooms stamp set, for my flower I did the new re-inker floating watercolor technique. I colored in the small flowers, stems, and birds with stampin' markers. My cardstock is chocolate chip, regal rose, bella rose DSP, and whisper white. The frame was made with the XL Curly label die for the big shot. To make it long I had to punch it twice and I have the frame up on dimensionals. Also on dimesionals are the saying and birds. My ribbon is chocolate chip grograin. I will be posting again in a couple days my card for Ann's challenge so keep an eye out for that and be sure to join in on both challenges.

Tractor Riley (MOJO85)

Here is my card for this weeks Mojo Monday challenge. My cardstock is handsome hunter, and night of navy. My DSP is Prestwick package. I stamped my Tractor Riley and colored him in with copics, and stampin up markers. My grass looking stuff to the left is actually a tree punch I have so punched a bunch of trees and layed them around the edge so you couldn't see the trunk of the tree. It is hard to tell in the picture but they are punched in handsome hunter. Riley is actually up on dimensionals and I added some ribbon for the bow. Be sure to join in on their fun challenges each week over at Mojo Monday.

Riley and Sophie get married. (MOJO84)

I made this card for the mojo monday sketch from the mojo monday blog - be sure to check it out and join in on the fun. I hate the way my picture turned out, the lighting just wouldn't go right today at all for some reason but you can still see it alright.

I used chocolate chip, rose red and whisper white cardstock along with Bella Rose DSP. My stamp is from Hanna Stamps, Riley and Sophie Wedding Moose. I used pink piourette ink around the edges, stamped them in black memento ink and colored them in with copic markers. Sophie's dress is actually colored in with the copic spica clear glitter pen but you can't really tell that in the picture. I used dimensionals behind them to pop them up over the taffeta white ribbon. I added felt flowers that are brown and pink. I had seen the sketch yesterday and thought about it all night long what I wanted to do, I still had no idea and just started grabbing stuff after I figured out what stamp I wanted to use. I think it turned out cute though.
