RILEY0613, Twine Time!

Hello, it's time for another Riley and Company Challenge. This challenge is hosted by Michele, and she's challenging us to use twine!

This is Rainy Day Riley. I coloured him with copics and paper pieced the umbrella. I also added some crystal effects to the rain drops and puddle.

The card base is taken with teal, with a layer of white embossed with the cloudy day EF. The dp is from Echo Parks a walk in the park. The yellow umbrella was a paper scrap from recollections.

Please join us in our challenge and upload your creation to the Riley and Company Blog. If you upload to any forums, please use the keyword RILEY0613. And don't forget there is a randomly drawn prize for one lucky participant!

Have a Great Day,
Laurie

RILEY0510, Break Out The Pastels!

Hello Everyone! I'm the Hostess for the bi-weekly challenge at Riley and Company this week, and I challenge you to break out the pastels and make something! It can be a card or anything else you fancy. Treat baskets are popular right now with Easter around the corner and pastels remind me of spring and Easter! You can share your creation with us by posting a comment with a link here or on the Riley and Company blog here. Of course if you belong to SCS or any other forums please use the keyword RILEY0510, so we can find it easily!

This card is a reminder to enjoy life, remember playing in the rain during a sun shower when you were young, now that was fun!

I used bashful blue for my card base today, with a layer of white and a layer or pretty in pink embossed with the bloom dots EF. The image Rainy Day Riley, is coloured with copics. The umbrella handle has a bit of sparkle added with the stardust sakura pen, and the raindrops and puddle are covered with stickles.

The sun is barely banana cut with the inverted scallop nestie and sponged. The grass is a Martha Stewart punch.

My Girlfriend went away and left her Cricut with us so we could play with it! So on Thursday afternoon Olivia, her 2 friends and I gave it a try. The kids totally loved it, they made tons of stuff! I made clouds...I love these clouds! I'm going to make a bunch before I have to return the cricut! I made them using the Graphically Speaking cartridge. Each cloud is 1/4" smaller than the previous. pretty cool eh! I used dimensionals between the layers to give it dimension. I also popped up the grass.

The sentiment was made with justrite letters and the vertical block.

So lets see what you can do with pastels! remember to use the keyword RILEY0510 when uploading to a gallery.

Thanks

Laurie
