A New Challenge Over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge- Challenge #589

Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #589 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors ORANGE and BLUE-two of my FAVORITE colors.

I had so much fun creating this card using the digital stamp "Girl With Windblown Hair" from our sponsor this round-PJ Moore Illustrations

 

Below is the challenge Badge for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #589:


I colored this image in with some Copic Markers and masked her off to shade a portion of the background in with orange Distress Ink.


I then layered it over a frame that I die cut using Fancy Frames from Sunny Studio and Ink Drops-Ocean pattern paper from the Craft Consortium. Oh how I LOVE this paper!! The shade of blue was PERFECT for my card.


The sentiment was created by me for my card on PS when I printed it out. I thought it was PERFECT to use for this image!! The last detail was to add some orange rhinestones around the waist area of the girl. I cannot say if I really like that detail but since I glued them on, they will be staying!!!

That is all from me. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #588

Hey friends!! There is still time to play over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #588. This round is a THME challenge-DINOSAURS! 

For my card, I used the adorable dinosaur and tree image from Pixel Paper Prints. Pixel Paper Prints generously donated the Dinosaur Digital Stamp set for the DT to use. 

Below is the challenge badge for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #588.

I started off my card by doing an ink blended sky with Distress Ink. I then tore green cardstock and created some "grass" for my little scene.

I adhered the tree between the layers of green cardstock and then popped up the dinosaur using foam adhesive. 

The last step was to adhere the stamped sentiment from my stash. Easy Peasy!!!

A New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge-Challenge #588

Hey friends!! I am just popping in with a card for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #588.  This round is a THEME challenge-DINOSAURS.

We have a sponsor to the challenge this round. Pixel Paper Prints generously donated the Dinosaur Digital Stamp Set for us to use on our projects. Aren't they so cute?

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge badge for Challenge #588.


I started off my card by embossing a white card front and then using a circle die to cute various size holes in it.


I traced the outline of the circles on a white, A2 card front and did some ink blending in yellow, blue and green. 


I then adhered the dinosaurs using foam adhesive that I had printed, colored with Copic Markers and cut out over the circles. 


My last step was to add a stamped sentiment and my card was done. I LOVE how this came out.

That is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a GREAT Monday!!!

Just a Reminder for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #587

 Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card to remind you that there is still time to play with this round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #587 is a COLOR challenge. Create a project using the colors RED, PINK and WHITE.

Once again I used a digital image from our sponsor-All Dressed Up Stamps-to create my card. I had so much fun coloring in the adorable girl and her little pets on the "Time to Read" image.


Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #587:


I printed out my digital image onto white paper. I then used Copic Markers to color it in.


When my coloring was complete, I fussy cut the digital stamp out and used foam adhesive to adhere it over a white card base that I had covered with some scraps of red and pink pattern paper.


I added a sentiment from my stash and topped off the card with some red rhinestones.

A Couple of Cards

Hey Friends!! 

Just popping in with a couple of cards for some challenges!!! I have not been crafting as much as I would have liked as I have been sick.

These two cards I created are very similar. My image is the Tiny Townie Wonderland Playing Card Guard from Stamping Bella. When I saw this image, I HAD to have it. I only got one but want the rest of the set but I am trying not to buy anything new!!


My first card was inspired by the Color Hues Challenge and Freshly Made Sketches #622.

I had a fun time creating the background with a combination of red and pink Distress Sprays.


I colored in my image using Copic Markers. The die cut hearts are from a Mama Elephant die.


My next card I used the Inspired By Challenge IB275. I used the pink and red colors, as well as the sprinkles on the whip cream. 




I splattered pink Oxide Spray and did some hearts with a stencil on background. For some reason, the sprinkles just inspired this.


The sentiment is from the "So Very Lovely" Reverse Confetti sentiment set. I loved this company and miss it!!


Well that is all from me. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!
