Stamp of the Month and Some More

Hi all.  I can't believe it is October already.  It's time for the Imagine That Digi Stamps Design of the Month Challenge.  This month the image is called Mistletoe Kitty and she/he can be found in the shop, here.  I used alcohol markers to color the image and a die cut for the sentiment.  I added 3 sequins and layered on embossed card stock to finish it off.  

I made the next card for my stamping club for the November meeting.  We are suppose to have the sentiment on the front of the card.  I wanted to make a rainbow card so used watercolor to paint the rainbow focal image, heat embossed the greeting in black over it and added a colorful die cut butterfly.  The background was done in rainbow colors with Ken Oliver's Color Bursts.  I just love playing around with them!

Another thing that I love to play around with are the fairly new Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Bird Crazy stamp set.   They are soooo cute and fun to color!  I have been using watercolors on them.  I just ordered the accessory stamps called Crazy Things that go with the set, so, I will be able to add things like hats, glasses, ties, balloons, bunny ears, and much more.  I can't wait to get them.  meanwhile, enjoy the first 2 that I have made so far...

While you are in the Imagine That Digi Stamp shop, be sure to check out the free scrapbook set that Kris is offering.  It is really pretty.  And, don't forget to enter the challenge to get your free digi stamp for next month.  If you played along last month, your Mistletoe Kitty is free!

Till next time...

Several New Cards

Hi all.  I want to thank those of you who participated in the Imagine That Digi Stamps, Name that Card Artist contest.  We actually had one person guess all of them right!  I couldn't do that, myself.  Here is my card that was used for the contest.  It is from the Imagine That BCA Full Support set.  I colored the image with Copic and Spectrum Noir markers.  The background was stamped with my breast cancer awareness rose and ribbon stamp.

The following cards were made this past week and I just decided to show them all in this post.

I hope you enjoy these cards.  Don't forget to play the Imagine That Progressive Digi Challenge.

Until next time...

A COUPLE OF MY RECENT CARDS...

Hi all!

I have been trying to keep busy lately with my card making.  I thought I would show you a couple of my latest cards... The first one was stamped with a very large butterfly image and heat embossed with ultra fine black embossing powder.  I colored it with only 2 Copic markers.  I placed the card front on my Cuttlebug plate and taped each die cut so they would not move.  I cut the entire thing in one passing.  After that, I used pop dots, graduating each layer so that I ended with 5 layers of pop dots on the center piece.  I love the effect of this technique.

The second card was made for my sister's birthday.  I used a digital image and colored it with colored pencils.  I die cut the image and also cut a piece of black card stock with the same die.  I cut the black one in half and made a partial frame with it.  I wanted it to give some contrast against the pink, embossed piece of card stock.  I layered them on a white card base.

I hope you enjoy seeing what else I do (when I am not doing design team work!  ;-)

Until next time...

I have a winner from the birthday blog hop and 2 new cards.

Hi all.  I have randomly picked a winner from the birthday blog hop.  Congratulations to D- for writing a nice comment about my deer card.  D-, you have won a set of digi stamps 

from Imagine That Digi Stamps. 

Please contact Kris @ imaginethat.digisbykris@yahoo.com to claim your prize.  Thank you all for stopping by my blog and leaving your lovely comments.  It really means a lot to me.  I see that I also had a couple of people join my site...Wonderful!

Now, let me show you the cards that I made last week...The first one was made for a special order.

 I barely had time to scan the outside and never got a chance to scan the inside.  The saying on the inside says:  "You don't want to press your luck!"  I love the stamp with these sayings.  The leprechaun and the four leaf clover were heat embossed in black and colored with  Copic markers.

The next card is one that I did for my advance stamping club.  We were to make a card in honor of one of our members that had passed away, suddenly.  Her daughter had come to our club to sell her stamps and "stuff".  We were to use one of her stamps  to create a card...

I LOVE cats so I thought this would be a great one to use.  (I purchased quite a lot!)

 

I painted the boxes with iridescent pigment paints and used Score Tape and glitter around the edges.

Thank you all for checking out my blog.  I hope you will continue to leave comments and perhaps join to become a member of my site so you will always get to see my projects.  Thank you.

Till next time...
