WT332 - Metals...

Today's challenge on SCS was called Heavy Metal.  We were to use metal.  I used tin foil for my embossed bg.  I also used a piece of hodgepodge hardware from SU.  My cord is silver and looks like some kind of metal, and my image is most likely made of tin.  So that's it, my heavy metal.

CC332, Life is a Journey...

I was so excited about today's color challenge that I had to do another card.  I watercolored my blue bird, and added a piece of Basic Grey dp to my card.  I think I have only used this stamp once or twice before.  I'd like to use it more and see what I can come up with.

CC332, Tri-Colored Daisies...

Today's color challenge was to use the new blue from SU (pool something), wild wasabi, and chocolate chip.  I substituted the blue with cool caribbean.  I used prisma colored pencils with a little goo gone to blend.  I embossed "with love."  It's kind of a clean and simple card.

TLC334, Color Blocking Clematis...

This card was made for the technique lover's challenge.  It is called color blocking.  I inked up a small square acrylic block with crumb cake, edging it with either artichoke or blue.  You really can't tell so much now as I have embossed my paper.  I also used a bit of the itty bitty bg to dot some more of the color.  My work doesn't show too much.  I later chose to use some ribbon to emphasize my brick wall, but it may have ended up losing it. I created the clematis flowers with an old flower punch from SU.  It was a fun little project, and an easy technique.

Speedy's Friends Challenge #64, Nature's Postage...

This is my first challenge card for Speedy's Friends.  It is #64.  I'm not sure if I'll do this all right.  I am still new to blogs and don't do facebook, but am rather enjoying Mark's Finest blog and TV site called Speedy's Friends.  I hope I said that all right.  Anyway, it was fun doing this challenge.  It's also fun to see what the other stampers have done with their colors and various stamp sets.

WT331, Music in the Parlor...

This is another collage for Collette's challenge on Thursday.  I love collage because you can totally be creative and even tell a story that isn't maybe obvious.  I used a set called Timeless Treasures from SU.  I love antiques and vintage things.

WT331, Twine Collage...

Collette gave us the challenge to make a crazy collage on SCS for this past Thursday.  We were to use at least 4 stamps.  I used 5.  Can you find them??

FLLC, Raspberries Anyone??...

I made this card purely for my own enjoyment.  I finally had the courage to try coloring (watercoloring) these yummy raspberries from Flourishes.  I also used a great new little stamp from SU, and used the new punch that goes with it.
