Sassy Studio Designs at PCP

Hello there.  I have a card for y'all today for the Sassy Studio Designs challenge over on PCP.  This is a monthly progressive challenge that runs from the 15th of the month to the following month on the 15th.  You will receive an image to play along with.  This month's image is a beautiful scarecrow lady.

I colored this beautiful image with my Crayolas and OMS.  I fussy cut her out and used pop dots to adhere her.  I used DCWV and K & Co papers and card stock.  The little leaf buttons are from my stash and the sentiment is a set from CardzTV called "Thankful for You".  This is one of my first sets from Mary and I have to tell you, I love them.  They are very well made and stamp beautifully with many different types of inks.

Thanks for stopping by today and I can't wait until tomorrow for the new challenge at Sassy Studio Designs at PCP.  God bless y'all.

I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Gone Fishin'

Hello friends.  Well, y'all can relax now.  Monday is over..:)  I have been busy, busy, busy in my craft room getting cards made for this week.  I have a sweet image from Anji's Antics for ya today.

Isn't this a sweet little guy?  Fishing away with his best friend by his side.  

To begin, I printed out the image and sentiment onto Neenah card stock and used Colored Pencils and Chalk to add color.  After trimming down the image, I matted it onto Kraft card stock from Recollections.  I followed the Papertake Weekly sketch for this week to put the card together.  The DPs are all from DCWV. The sentiment is matted onto Aqua Recollections card stock and popped up with pop dots.  The card base is the same Kraft card stock as the image mat.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope y'all had a great day and have an even better night.  God bless y'all.

Charm is Deceitful

Hello again.  Thanks for coming back.  I have a much calmer, more peaceful card for y'all this time.  :)  I don't do the Gothic stuff very much, but I do enjoy it every now and again.

The card for this post uses a Scripture verse from Proverbs 31.  

This sentiment image is a Beyond the Fringe image.  I printed it out on Neenah white card stock and trimmed it down, matted it and added a piece of green and pink heart DP from DCWV.  I followed the sketch for Twist of Faith this week to make this card.  I used Recollections pink for a card base and matted the image and DP onto Recollections Olive Green.  Adding three pink pearls from Queen and Co finished it off.

I appreciate y'all stopping by to visit.  I will have more for ya tomorrow.  God bless y'all and have a great night.

Mother's Day Card

Howdy y'all.  Welcome back to my blog.  I have a card to show tonight that uses some of the roses and flowers that I dyed using my homemade alcohol inks. I used a Rick St. Dennis image to make this card and printed it out on a new card stock that I found at AC Moore.  It's from Crafter's Companion, the company that makes the Spectrum Noir pens.  I ran out of my Neenah and needed some card stock so I picked up two packs of 25 for $8.

So, what do you think?  The roses and the small silk flowers are dyed with the homemade alcohol inks. 

I colored the image with Chromatix pens.  I trimmed down the image, matted it on a panel of pink and then a panel of black.  The DPs are from Authentique and MME.  The card base is made from Bazzill Blackbird card stock.   The sentiment is from Beccy Muir and is included in the Rose Bouquet set.   I had to add the main sentiment to the inside, because there just wasn't room on the front to add the Scripture from Proverbs 31. 

I just kept adding embellies until I liked the look of it.  There are pearls, lace, flowers, acetate flowers, acrylic sprays, pearl sprays.  And for one of my challenges that I am entering this card in, I had to have ribbon.  I couldn't add anything else to the card, so there is ribbon on the image itself.  I hope that qualifies.  It's a little sneaky, but the ribbon is there.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great evening.  God bless.

Scripture Birthday Card

Well, looks like I have one more for y'all this afternoon.  I used an image from Anji's Antics to make this card and two different sentiments...one from Verses and one from Doodle Pantry.

I used my colored pencils to give life to this beautiful lady in her spiffy hat.  I made a 6" card base from Light Blue Colorbok card stock.  I pulled a piece of K and Co DP from my stash bin to make the corner piece and the banners.  The mats for image and sentiment are a blue metallic from DCWV.   Adding some gems finished off the card.

Thanks for stopping in.  Y'all have a blessed night.

New Creation

Welcome back y'all.  I have one more card for ya in this batch.  I will have more later on tonight, I'm sure.

This card used a beautiful rose image from Beccy Muir.  I centered the roses and added the sentiment around it.  The sentiment is a Scripture from 2 Corinthians 5:17.

I began by printing off the image.  I colored in the roses and leaves with my BIC markers.  I added some white highlights with a White Gel Pen.  After I added the highlights, it just looked too  bright so I toned it down a bit.  The card itself is 6" square and is made from a card base of Red card stock from Colorbok.  I added a DP from DCWV after matting it on Black Recollections card stock.  I trimmed down a panel of striped DP from DCWV and also matted that on black. The image itself is matted on black.  Before adding the image, I added some 2" wide Red ribbon and tied a bow on the right hand side.  I added image with pop dots.

That's it.  Pretty simple right?    I hope you enjoyed your visit today.  Have a wonderful Monday.  God bless y'all.

Living By Faith

Today's card uses a Scripture that reminds me not to rely on myself.  I have a bad habit of trying to fix everything and figure out everything on my own.  Doesn't work, but I still try.  This verse found in 2 Corinthians tells me that I need to live by FAITH.

This wonderful Scripture is from Dee's Bugaboo Boutique.  I just love her word art.  I used a cross from Crafting with Jack and shrunk it down to fit the card.  I used my Chromatix and a Sakura Glitter gel pen to add some color to the cross and then used the glitter pen to highlight the word Faith.

The card base is Chocolate Chip from SU and is 4.25" square.  I used my corner rounder to give it a softer look.  The pink card stock is Recollections and the white is Neenah.  I used two different DPs for this card.  One from EK Success and one from Studio G.  I love the little $1 packs of paper you can get at Wal mart from Studio G.  They have some of the cutest patterns.  I rounded all the corners and inked the verse by running my Chromatix around the edges.  I added a little bit of glitter pen to the DP just for interest.

Thanks for stopping in today.  I pray everyone has a great night.  God bless  y'all.
