MMTPT117, Off To The Races!

Hello, I made this for Today's Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT117, Did The Flagger Just Stagger? I Think That's Mick Jagger!

You can find the information for this weeks Destination Station here, I made this for Jess (24) a nascar fan who was viciously attacked by a dog the belonged to the family of a friend, I hope he likes it!

I used Car Riley from Riley and Company for the main image. I coloured him with copics and added a bit of silver with a gelly roll pen. The main image in matted with nestie circles and a pinking circle. The piece is popped up!

The checkered panel was made with a stamp from Mark's Finest Papers in the Snowman Country set!!! how cool is that!

The tire tread is a stamp I got at our local stamp store, sorry I don't know the maker.

I finished it off with some silver brads, and the inside will say 'have a Speedy recovery'!

Have a Great Day!

TSMONDAY, Purple, Green & Black!

Hi Everyone, it's time for the Totally Stampalicious Monday Challenge. This week, we are being challenged to use the colours purple, green, and black, and it doesn't have to be a Halloween card!

I used the new 'Pimp My Ride Stella!', she's a Bugaboo image now available as a clear stamp at Totally Stampalicious. The lighting seems to be off, but the card base is lavendar lace, her sleigh is purple dp, and I coloured Stella with some green plus there's green dots in the dp. For the black, I used black ribbon and Stella's hair is black as well as the sentiment!

I hope you can join in the challenge, just upload your creation to the Totally Stampalicious Blog so we can see, and who knows, maybe there will be a prize!

Speedy's Challenge #26, Die Cuts!

Hello, this weeks Speedy The Cats Friend's challenge #26 is to use a die cut! There are so many die cuts on the market now, this should be an easy one!

For today's card, I used one of the new sets from Mark's Finest Papers called Snowman Country! I stamped the snowman onto white, coloured with copics, covered him (or her) with versamark and embossed with some glittery EP. Then I cut the snowman out. You can see the glitter better in the photo below.

The card base is white, with a layer of dp from Bo Bunny. The center strip is white embossed with the snowflake EF. The ribbon is from MFP, and it looks like it was made to match this dp!

For die cuts, I used the shapeabilities Fancy Tags, and the circle nesties. The sentiment was made by inking up the snowflakes with colours to match my paper, then I stamp the 'Joy' in black. Then just like the snowman, I covered it in versamark and glittery EP. Then I punch out the sentiment. The sentiment and the snowman are popped up!

I finished it off with some pearls and a bow with a button from my stash that looks like the pearls!

I hope you can play along, just make sure to upload your creation to the Mark's Finest Papers Blog by Friday Oct. 29. You can enter as often as you like, and if you already have MFP stamps, use them and your name is entered twice! There will be a Free stamp set drawn for every 50 entries!

SC303, WT293, Pink Christmas Tree!

Hello, well I have no idea whats happened to my mojo! My card idea today started with using the ornament embossing folder, but after several alterations, I didn't even use it! I'm still not sure I love it, but it's growing on me!

I combined two challenges for this one, the sketch challenge SC303, and todays ways to use it challenge WT293, fabric. My fabric is the lace tree skirt!

I stamped the tree from Mark's Finest Papers set Snowman Country onto dp from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses with versamark and embossed with white EP.

The sentiment is from another MFP set called "Our Family Tree". I finished it off with some fibre and pearls.

RILEY2010, Autumn Colours!

Hello, sorry I'm late to the Riley and Company challenge, but better late than never! This weeks challenge is hosted by Therese, and she is challenging us to use fall colours!

I used the new Raking Leaves Riley to create todays card. I also used this weeks colour challenge CC293, concord cherry olives!

I stamped Riley onto white and coloured him with copics. Then I cut out the image and a couple of the leaves and popped up Riley and the falling leaf!

The card base is cherry cobbler, with a layer of old olive. The natural ivory was embossed with the Leafy Tree embossing folder from Crafts-too. Then I embossed another tree in chocolate chip and cut out the tree. I coloured the leaves with copics, and glued the brown tree on top.

I finished it off with some concord ribbon!

I hope you can play along. Once you've completed your card or project, please leave a comment and link to your creation on the Riley and Company blog so we can see! If you upload to a forum like SCS, please use the keyword RILEY2010.

Have a Great Day!

TLC295, Shimmery Bear!

Hello, I made this for today's Technique Lovers Challenge TLC295, Make it Shimmery! Well I only have one container of Perfect Pearls in copper colour, and it just wasn't working for me, so I used Champagne Mist paint from SU.

I did follow all the steps in the tutorial, I stamped the bear from Mark's Finest Papers, Time to Chill, onto watercolour paper with Memento rich cocoa. Then I coloured very lightly around some of the edges with a close to cocoa watercolour crayon. I spread the crayon around with the shimmery paint! Look at the close up, isn't he something! he reminds me of a vampire named Edward!!!!

I covered my acrylic block with pink pirouette paint for the background, but it turned out very light! I stamped the snowflakes also from the Time to Chill set with pink.

The pink background piece also has snowflakes stamped with the shimmer paint. I love pink and brown together!

Have a Great Day!
