Princess on Ice

It's Tuesday! Time for another challenge on the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge blog.  The challenge is to incorporate winter/cold weather onto your card or project.  I'm okay with putting it on a card...it is just in real life when winter weather can be aggravating, LOL.

For my card, I printed the Sassy Cheryl's digital image of "Lucy Lou Princess on Ice" from the set "It Takes One to Know One" onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers, added some Crystal Stickles for the ice. 

I stamped some very faint snowflakes from Stamps by Judith with ColorBox Ice Blue chalk ink, and DRS Designs "Warm Wishes Greeting" was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.  I added a plastic snowflake charm to the scene.  I rounded two corners with a punch.

The larger card panel is patterned paper from The Paper Studio, and all layers were framed with black cardstock.

Hope you'll play along with us...this is a two week challenge due to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday so you really do have plenty of time.  Free digital images from Sassy Cheryl's to a random participant.

Snow Buddies

Since it snowed a little earlier in the week, I guess that is Mother Nature's way of letting me know it is okay if I start making winter snow cards. 

I brayered Distress Ink Spun Sugar dye onto a piece of white cardstock.  I sponged Whispers Lilac dye, ColorBox Ice Blue chalk ink along the edges.  I stamped the DRS Designs "Snow Background" onto the pink sky for some subtle pink flakes.

I tore some white cardstock to become my snow covered ground, adding highlights with Crystal Stickles. 

The main image is from DRS Designs and is called "Snowman Bird Buddies".  I stamped it with Marvy black dye onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers and cut with my detailed scissors.  I placed it into my snowy scene.

I stamped DRS Designs "Warm Wishes Greeting" with Versafine Onyx Black.  I added a sheer white bow, a transparent pink button and Baker's Twine for the finishing touches on this card.

Now, I guess it is time I get back to my 60 degree day, LOL!  Wacky weather indeed!

From Our Doghouse to Yours

This week on the DRS Designs Blog, we are being challenged to incorporate torn paper into our projects. 

For my card, I brayered the following inks onto a piece of white cardstock:  ColorBox Ice Blue Chalk and Adirondack Sail Boat Blue dye.  I sponged some Distress Ink Faded Jeans around the extreme edges.  Then, I added torn white cardstock to become my snowy ground.  Using Copic White, I painted the snow flurries.

I stamped the DRS Designs image directly onto my scene.  I then stamped it again onto X-Press It cardstock and colored the doghouse with Copic markers.  I cut around the doghouse with my detailed scissors and then adhered it to the scene.  Using a Copic marker, I drew the pawprints in the snow.  I tied some sheer white ribbon to the card.

Sure hope you'll join us the week for our torn paper challenge.  It is easy to do, and you could win some free rubber!

No Peeking!

This week at Sassy Cheryl's, we are being challenged to use our favorite holiday colors.  I am fanatical over the color I call "Grinch Green".  Might explain why my YG03 is always dry, LOL.

I printed the Sassy Cheryl's image of "Secret Santa Gift" onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  I framed the image with red cardstock, and placed on a larger square panel of patterned paper from Jillibean Soup. 

The sentiment is from Whipper Snapper.  It seemed quite a perfect pairing with this image.  I added a sheer red bow to make the card a bit more festive.

Sure hope you'll join us over on the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog.  Free digital images will be won by one lucky participant, so come on...show us your colors.

Christmas Kiss

I had such a good time coloring this one.  I kept it CAS so the image was the focus.  Didn't feel it needed much of anything.

The image is called "Christmas Kiss" from Penny Black.  I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  

A red piece of cardstock is along the edge of the card, with part of the slipper "out-of-the-box". 

Thanks so much visiting my blog today! 

Christmas Candy Jars

I had so much fun coloring this image earlier in year, I thought it might be fun to color the image with red Christmas candy.

I stamped the Impression Obsession image of "Candy Jars" with Memento Tuxedo Black dye onto Ice Gold Curious Metallic cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers, and used a white colored pencil and some diluted white acrylic paint for the highlights.

Simple in design, I mounted the image panel onto a piece of patterned paper from The Paper Studio.  I added a sheer white ribbon, a button and Baker's Twine for embellishments. 

The sentiment is from Impression Obsession's "Fancy Ornaments" set.

I am entering this card for the current challenge on the Impression Obsession blog, "Holiday Cards, Tags and Gifts".

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!  For some reason, I'm now craving peppermint, LOL!

Happy Hogidays

I'm still here! What a week! I'm thinking you wouldn't believe the details if I told you, so I'll just say I'm declaring today a day for staying in my PJs and stamping all day long, LOL!

I wanted to share with you a Christmas card today.  I made it using a new image and sentiment from DRS Designs (1047G & 1038B...too new for the website but they can still be ordered).  I stamped the adorable Santa Leonard Pig with Memento Tuxedo Black dye onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  The sentiment "Happy Hogidays" (LOL!) was also stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black.

I cut the image panel with a Nestabilities die and paper pierced around the panel.  The red cardstock panel was dry embossed and randomly stamped DRS Designs "Splatter Background" with Adirondack Snow Cap pigment ink.

A sheer white ribbon completes the details on this card.

Thanks for visiting my blog today and sticking with me!  Have a great weekend!
