GDP#38 Sketch Challenge

Hey, how are you all doing today? I am doing very well, had some chatty time with Justin (from Stamp Ink Paper) and placed my first order with his new crafty company SIP!!!  Online store coming very soon...  In other news, I am waiting for the final grades to be posted... here's hoping for an A!

Butter only has a few weeks of 6th grade left, and I am looking forward to summer break, homeschool is hard! lol.. Moms need breaks too...

Anyway on to today's challenge 

Global Design Project has an awesome sketch... so I went to work!

I started by stamping my larger image from the Stamp Of Approval April Kit, from Gina K. in Black. Then I took my ruler and drew lines on each side, to create the layered look... I filled in the area with blue, then black on the edge of the blue, and finished that part off with some gray to create a shadow effect!  I went back over with my marker to match my Soft Sky ink from Stampin' Up!

Next, I cut the butterfly die from Sugar Pea Designs for SOA in vellum and coated it with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Brush pen.  I attached the layers together and finished it off with a few Atmosphere sequins from little things from Lucy's card !

Until next time

CYCI#121 SOA Birthday Wishes

Oh Sunday how I love you! Cause it's time for a new challenge at CYCI!

On my card today, I started with my SOA by Catherine Pooler (Stamp of Approval) Sweat Pea - Enchanted Garden and matching dies, along with one of the sentiments!

I used my Zig CCRB watercolors in Yellow #050, Lt Brown #061, Lilac #083 and Violet #080. I added a few Doodlebug sequins in Purple, and some gold thread I picked up from Joann's. 

For my cardstock, I've got Simon Black and 120# Thick white.

I tried a new type of paper today from Ken Oliver; it's called Water-Media paper, and I got ten sheets of 6x6 for under four bucks at Blitsy here is the link to Blitsy!!!

Dawn selected the colors for this week, and while they challenged me, I think I did well!

I hope you will join us!

Until next time

SOA and lots of fun

Well, it arrived today and just in time for a quick break from my class...
and a little chit chat with Justin on Skype!

I really enjoyed catching up with him, just about anything and everything!
While I was chatting I told him about my new Stamp of Approval from Catherine Pooler,
order that arrived today and we both agreed its fabulous!
I totally loved the first stamp that I'm using on my card today!

Up first is the beautiful Gina K. design exclusive set Beautiful World and it is GORG!!!

I decided to go with a bit of whimsy with Ken Oliver's Color Burst in Chartreuse, tapping gently on the bottle to release the color powder. I also used a bit for painting in parts of the flower graphic, which was stamped in Stazon black.

I cut the black "You" die and along with MFT Stamps Sour Apple card stock using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies. 

The last thing I did was put my layers together and add some cute 4mm droplets from Pretty Pink Posh.

I totally love the way my card turned out and I can't wait to see what else I can come up with the other goodies for the kit!

Until next time
