A Homely Card

Hi luckily I made this card yesterday to share because today I am back in bed with this dang back! While cleaning my craft room and needing to actually use some of my stash , I found this metal sentiment which was perfect for this card. I paired it up a new stamp I purchased from Starving Artistamps. As you can see I decided to scribble (haven't done that in years) to color and what I didn't scribble I paper pieced. I thought the card needed some clouds and not having any, I stamped the trees a couple of times on to white stock and cut the tops off using them worked out well. The button was added to incorporate a tad bite more of color to the card.

"Home is the sweetest type of heaven" and bed in particular right about now:)

Supplies

You're Not Hallucinating!

Hello, you're not hallucinating everything is coming up mushrooms today, perhaps it's the hallucinogenic drugs I am on that caused me to create this card. This is another set from Starving Artistamps DoodleFactory "Fairy Tales" series. In the end , drug induced or not I think it is a cute card and worth sharing. I stamped a roll of mushrooms on to leather like tan cs and really didn't think the Copic Markers would work well but was surprised how well the paper absorbed the color.

I think this card would make a good get well or even a sympathy card for a guy.

Supplies:

Starving Artistamps -DoodleFactory "mushrooms"

Versafine Black ink

Copic Markers

Leather-like cs

Lasting Impressions cs

DCWV Fall Mat Stack

Square and scallop Nestabilities

Lasting Impressions "oatmeal " buttons

gold floss

Ivory ribbon

Maroon button

Thanks so much for stopping by - Enjoy your evening.

Sketch Challenge

Well, hello there! Do you remember me? I don’t blame you if you don’t… I have been away far too long and I've missed you so. My plan was to take a few days away from computer to organize and sort through my over flowing craft room when this task was put on hold. I managed to wind up flat on my back, falling down some stairs on an already fragile back, age not being on my side it knocked me out for awhile. The back is still touch and go but with the help of drugs, tolerable for short periods. Not being able to sleep last night I spotted the sketch challenge on Kathy's Blog and followed the links to get the specifics. After seeing what was up for grabs I had to give it a whirl. I just got some Starving Artistamps and was anxious to ink them so this challenge was perfect for me. The challenge can be found at 2 Sketches 4 You. This is the card I created for the challenge.

Supplies
Starving Artistamps "Sweets N Hearts", "Doegy"
Copic Markers
Versafine "Black Ink"
Clear embossing powder
Lasting Impressions paper
Basicgrey "Cupcake" paper pad
Clear bubble stickers

Enjoy your evening, and thanks for stopping in.

Foxy Lady

The weekend is finally here Yepee! When you are up 1/2 a night you never know what you might create. I couldn't help but play with my Staving Artistamps set again. I think she needs a purse but I didn't have one to add. I think it is a fun card though. What do you think?

I used the beehive Fiskar template to make the imatation cobblestone road and some cheap decorative scissors for the grass. To color I used Copic markers. Nothing real fancy just a FUN share. The stop sign is computer generated and was created using Photoshop.

Enjoy your morning I am off to create more, maybe you will even get two shares today!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day.

Have a Blast!

I certainly am putting this set to use. Here is another card created using the Doodle Factory Urban set from Starving Artist. You might recall me saying I had a few ideas for this set well this card just came together and was not one of them. That means lots more to come!

All the paper I used is from Lasting Impressions. You can't see in scan but I embossed the background with Cuttlebug "Happy Birthday" folder and used the dot folder for the band. I added some star glitter behind the bubble in spaceship for added bling. The "It's your day" is a rub on from Lasting Impressions.

Quick make and oh so FUN! Enjoy your Saturday, I am off to run some errands.
