CC184, Mojo53 White Swirled and Some Challenge Catch Ups

Good Tuesday afternoon!
I have been home the past two days with children not feeling well. That, of course, I don't like. The upside is I can see they are feeling better, and I've been able to relax and catch up on some challenges- THAT I like!!
This card is for today's color challenge at SCS, 'basic gray, riding hood red and always artichoke'. I combined this with yesterday's Mojo Monday sketch.
I love the Snow Swirled set, and I love this tree heat embossed. I added red rhinestones to trim the tree and I stamped the flower from Baroque Motifs in riding hood red, punched it out with the triple flower punch, added a tiny rhinestone and a dimensional to top off my tree. I also heat embossed the snowflake on basic gray card stock and cut it out with my circle cutter.

Recipe:
Stamps: Snow Swirled, Baroque Motifs
Paper: white, basic gray, riding hood red, always artichoke
Ink: white craft, black, riding hood red
Extras: rhinestones, ribbon, white ep, dimensionals



The Splitcoaststampers Fan Club theme this month is 'Colors of the Rainbow'. I have a couple of cards done for that. The first is "Fuzzy Skating". I haven't inked up this cute little guy up in years! I paper pieced his sweater, skates and the trees, then water colored the rest of him with my SU ink pads and a blender pen. I also added some white liquid applique to his hat and the heart on his sweater for a fluffy look. I added Stickles to the moon and stars for twinkle, and the ice and trees for a frosty look. The snowflake was heat embossed on night of navy card stock and punched out with a scallop punch. I also used Beate's week end sketch for the layout.

Paper: night of navy, white, soft sky dp
Ink: black, close to cocoa, tangerine tango, so saffron, kiwi kiss, always artichoke, white craft

This is another card for the Fan Club 'Glad we're Friends'. I paper pieced the flower from the 'One of a Kind' set with Bella Rose dp, added a white brad for the middle and popped it all up wit dimensionals. I used a white gel pen for detail. This is also the sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You.

Recipe:
Stamps: One of A Kind, Best Yet SU
Paper: black, white, bella rose dp, riding hood red

'Happy Haunting' is for Our Creative Corner's sketch challenge. All the stamps are Inkadinkado Clear Stamps. I heat embossed the totally cool & creepy tree and the sentiment with Versa Mark ink and black diamond ep. I sponged some chalk around the tree for a harvest moon light look.

Happy Haunting!

Hi guys, and happy Sunday evening!
Looking at my last post I realize I haven't posted since last Saturday! It's been one of those downer weeks- A little family stress, feeling overwhelmed with things. Trying to prepare for back to school and back to work, seasons changing- CHANGE, that's what it is- I don't like it!! Even good change is hard for me to get used to.
So when I saw the color challenge over at Our Creative Corner, which are some pretty fall colors, I thought maybe I could work on getting some of my mojo back, try to chill out about- CHANGES, and go with the flow. The challenge colors are Ruby Red, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. I thought maybe a Halloween card might be fun for that.
I just bought these cute Halloween stamps from Inkadinkado and I was dying to play with them! It took me a long while to get it done, ya know, stale mojo- but I did it! I also used Julee Tilman's Monday Mojo sketch to help me along. I love her sketches and her work, she is one very talented Lady!!
Well, I'm off to catch up on some challenges I've missed and try to keep the flow going. Talk to ya soon, and thanks for stopping by, I really love when you do! :)
