A dual challenge card - good thing for all the inspiration, I'm running a little low. First is the monthly Bible verse challenge - I just made it for the month of May!! This also goes for the Wish RAK challenge of the color combo - Lovely lilac, Almost amethyst, White, and any shade of green (I used Old olive and Certainly celery). Of course I had to use my all-time favorite set, Blossoms Abound. It was a must with these colors! The Bible verse is what I received thru Wish RAK. It's cut out with one of my Nestabilities sets. I didn't trust myself to hand pierce all those holes, I was listening to the Pittsburgh Penguins game and was a little distracted. I used my sewing machine instead, with no thread. Can't say they're much straighter but they did go much faster! Had to use my Martha Stewart butterfly punch, absolutely love it! A few added pearls and it's complete.
Another DRS Designs stamp that has never seen ink...until tonight!! This turtle is sooooo cute!!! I used my Copic markers on him and Crystal Effected his shell. I masked him off to stamp in the grass, also from DRS Designs, and sponged in green to fill in the white. Now those blobs of white and blue are my first attempt at clouds -- thanks for the inspiration Stacy, aka Twinshappy! I'll need more practice, that's for sure. The sentiment is from TAC, oval punched out and popped up on the scallop oval punch, which is also popped up. I used scraps of Basic Grey paper and added two lavender pearls. A definite step out of my comfort zone because purple is not a fave of mine at all, so I very rarely use it. Using it small doses is okay though.
I needed a birthday card to mail out tomorrow...I also needed to use some of my new DRS Designs stamps. This snail simply makes me smile! I stamped her then masked the image to put in the grass as well as fill in with some sponging of green and blue. The shell was stamped a second time on scrap paper, colored with Copics, covered in Versamark Dazzle (champagne), and popped up. Something else I had to break out and use for the first time were my pinking nestabilities. I LOVE 'EM!!! Some ribbon and pearls and my card is complete. It didn't take very long, hooray for me on that note!! LOL!!!
A day in the life of Linda Anderson just can't be simple anymore!!!!! I finished this card late last night and decided to wait till this morning to take a picture and post it. Well, only to find out this morning that my camera was broken. Off to Target I go but they are sold out of most of their cameras -- graduation gifts the clerk said. Where to next? Costco came to mind and I found the one I was looking for. Even had colors to choose from. Well as you know a camera doesn't work right out of the package, the battery needs to be charged!! That didn't take as long as I thought it would so I took pictures...only to find our internet wasn't working...again!!!!! After all these hoops I had to jump thru, here's my card!!!!!
I made a second card from the Daisy Charlie set by Clear Dollar Stamps. He is so cute and super fast and easy to color. I used my Copics to do that! I also pulled out some Basic Grey 6x6 pads, this one is Granola. Since brown and blue are favorite colors, I had no trouble working with these papers! I needed a little pop of color so that's where the bright green button comes in!
We are finally back in business -- the cyberspace business that is!! A week without the Internet isn't easy!! Now the daunting task of getting caught up with everything!!!
