MMTPT172, Will & Nate are 6!

Hello, I made these cars for this weeks Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT172! The Destination Station this week is to Will and Nate Renz, the twin sons of Katie Renz, who recently lost her battle with cancer. The boys will be celebrating their 6th birthday on November 19th, the first without their Mom, so we're making sure they gets lots of extra birthday wishes!

So I couldn't think of what car stamps I had and decided to search SCS for a punch art car. Fortunately Lynn Pratt had just posted this car with a link to her free template, how perfect was that!

So I made each boy there own cool bug with personalized license plates!

Have a Great Day!

TSMONDAY, 3-D Secret Box!

Hello, we're having a 3-D challenge over at Totally Stampalicious this week. It's a great way to get some Christmas goodies done!

I took a couple extra photos so you can see it better.
I love this image because it's a winter scene, perfect for the whole season, not just Christmas!

MMTPT171, Diva Cat!

Hello, this is my card for this weeks Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT171! This weeks challenge is all about bling & cats, two of my favorite things! The Destination Station is happy mail to John & Jane who have 2 diva cats of there own!

I don't know where the cat stamp is from, but I stamped it in memento ink and then coloured him/her with copics. Of course he/she had to have a rhinestone necklace!

This is a center step card, and I managed to use up some more dp scraps. This was actually paper I made using glossy white, a couple of reinkers and then I spritzed on some gold smooch.

The sentiment is from a MFP set called Speedy The Cat's Friends, I popped it up on a tag from spellbinders fancy tags die.

Have a Great Day!

MMTPT170, Mosaic!

Hello, this is my card for this weeks Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT170! This week we were to try our hand at mosaic! This weeks Destination Station is to fellow Teapotter Kathy (CAKath).

I used the Elements of Style set, one of my favorites! I coloured the image with copics, using R20, R11 & R000 for the flowers and YG61 & YG63 for the leaves. I also shaded around the image using C1 and colourless blender. Then I cut the image into squares & glued them onto black.

The card base is black, with a layer of blushing bride embossed with the vintage wallpaper EF. The main image panel is popped up and I added some dazzling diamonds to the flower centers. It's finished off with some black taffeta ribbon and black gems in the bottom corner to balance it out!

Have a Great Day!
