Sparkle & Scallops

The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring this week's challenge at Stamp R Us. Sparkles and scallops is the theme. This cute Sledding Snowman image was colored with copics and then I added some stickles for a little sparkle. The scallop punch is from Martha Stewart. If you're looking for some cute images to get started on those Holiday cards, then stop over and check TSB's adorable images.

And...if you haven't heard, Tracey (the artist and owner of TSB) has been chosen to be one of the new artists at Unity Stamps Co. Congratulations Tracey!!

More Sneak Peeks for The Stamping Boutique

Hello again. I'm back with two more sneak peek cards for The Stamping Boutique's new releases on September 18th. The first one is the Ice Princess image. I colored her with copics and added some white and silver stickles for a little glam. The edges were distressed with weathered wood TH distress inks and the snowflake is a Quickutz die that I added some glitter to.

The second card is this darling gingerbread man image. For this image, I colored it with prisma pencils and OMS. Again, I added some stickles and foam dots to make the image stand out. The snowflake border punch is from Fiskars.

Don't forget to check out The Stamping Boutique at PCP for it's Digi Day on September 18th.

TSB Sponsoring For Fun Challenges

Hi all! The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring the For Fun Challenges this week and the challenge is to use bright colors (even neon if you'd like). My card however, is not one of my better ones. I was babysitting all day today and was able to color up my image there but time did not allow me to construct something better. Annika over at Another Messy Crafter blog had a fantastic tutorial on how she colors clouds with copics. I decided to give it a try. It's nowhere as good as hers but I plan on practicing to get better.

Sorry for the short post...going to fall into bed now. Thanks for stopping by

Alone

The Stamping Boutique is hosting a second challenge this week over at Card Patterns Weekly Sketch. This is the sketch for this weeks challenge:



I used the Alone image from the Stamping Boutique. I just love this image. I colored it with copics and used some card stock and folded it to resemble scalloped shells and added a pearl to each one. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.

One for The Boys

I've got two posts for you today. The Stamping Boutique is hosting the One Stop Craft Challenge this week and theme is...one for the boys. I made this card for my son to give to his father. I used the adorable Boy on the Beach image (it reminds of the my son playing on the beach when he was little). I colored it with copics and distressed around all the edges with distress inks. The sentiment on the tag and inside of the card is a freebie from Gingers House. Be to stop at the Stamping Boutique and check out all the wonderful images there. Thanks for stopping by.

Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge & The Stamping Boutique

The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge. Their challenges run for two weeks. We were asked to create something monochromatic but with a twist...you needed to add something with wings. I chose to do beige tones and added a butterfly. The image is from TSB's Little Audrey line and is called Audrey's New Dress. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.

I Made it!

I am so excited to have been chosen for the The Stamping Boutique Design Team. What a wonderful group of ladies. I should also mention that their digital stamps are absolutely adorable. Head on over to The Stamping Boutique and check them out.

You can also find them at Paper Craft Planet and SNR Universe.

We were asked to create a card to introduce ourselves on the DT blog. It was a crazy day today (I had a job interview...YAY!!) but managed to whip this one up. This was a freebie I had that TSB offered on split coast stampers. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.
