Christmas in July

Hi all.  Today I am posting the July SOTM Challenge DT card.  The name of the set is called Treat Stand which happens to be on sale right now!  After printing the image, I cut it out and colored it with alcohol markers and glitter gel pens and popped it on a die cut.  The background was done with a plastic wire distress tool.  I used a glitter designer paper for the background, an embossed card stock, a ribbon and glued on a red base to complete the card. 

Don't forget to go to Imagine That Digi Stamps and play along with our challenge.  Remember, this is a progressive challenge.  If you played last month, your digi image will be free.  If you didn't play, you can purchase the entire set on sale in the store.

Stay tuned next month because we will have a little surprise for you!

I am going to show some other cards that I have been making lately.

This was made for a friend who happened to be born of the 4th of July.  I gave a technique class 

at my club on how to make a ribbon wreath.  We made a bunch of different ones for Christmas, Chanukah, winter and so on.  They all seemed to really enjoy my idea.

 Another watercolor card.

 The bokeh background on the top of this card is actually a removable bookmark.

 I made this card for my husband's birthday.  He loves elephants.

 This was from a card sketch on Splitcoast Stampers

Experimenting with stencils and Gelatos.
This card has been entered in the following challenge:
613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes With Optional Twist

I hope you enjoyed seeing my cards.

Till next time...

Progressive Digi Challenge for October

Hi all.  Today I am posting my card for the Imagine That Digi Stamp Progressive Challenge.  

Since this is breast cancer awareness month, we are doing a BCA image for the challenge.  

The set is called "Let's Squash Out Cancer".  It is a very appropriate name as you shall see, below.  My card was created with Copic and Sharpie markers and cut out with a Nestabilities die.  

The background was embossed.  I tangled the area that says cancer, under the elephant.  

The envelope was stamped with a rose in a ribbon that says "Stamp Out Breast Cancer"

.

This week, we are playing a game.  It is called Name That Card Artist.
