KLSNS Challenge #34

I saw this Tilda around and had to get her. She is just so cute. I think this purple and black look great together and works perfect for the pirate. I did not have an X and really wanted to use one on this so I created this one using a large number one stamp. I was really pleased with it. I think it looks like a old mapped out X. I also added a hatched line to the paper to give the impression of a map and dew drops. I hope it shows up on the paper.

Stamp: Tilda with Jolly Rogers
Papers: SU black, perfect Plum, DP-SU/MME
Embellishments: dew drops
Copics: E00, y21, YR23, N3, N5, N7, V91, V95, E31

Digital Pencil Too #37/Saturday Sketch #109


Just purchased this great gal from Mo. I love these fun School children. I wanted to use some funky colors and I hope things all match up. I used the Saturday Sketch but changed it up a bit by making it a A2 card so that it was easier to send in the US. I think I should have used eggplant instead of black for the papers to match her sweater better. I may go back and fix it. Maybe use my black copic on the sweater.

Stamp: Berkly (I think)
Papers: SU More mustard, pretty in pink, black, DP-MME
Embellishments: dew drops, punchs
Copics: E00, E25, E47, V06, V09, RV10, RV21, N5, N7, YR21, YR23

Here is my addition for the Friday Sketch this week. Hope you all like it. I am still in love with this great frog. She is so great. I love the fun she brings.

Embellishments: Ribbon, charm
Copices: YG91, YG95, RV29, YR15, N1

Digital Pencil Too #36/Cute Card Thursday #116

Hi everyone.....
I did some stamping last night. I had some fun with these 2 challenges and they worked so well together. Digital Pencil Too's challenge this week was to use a dry embossing and I used a great hatch emboss on my cuttle bug. I thought it gave the card manly touch and would work perfect. Cute Card Thursday had this great sketch design that worked great with my pirate. I added some words to the red paper. I hope you all can see them. they say, "well, blow me down" I was hoping to see them more but it gives it some texture anyway.

Stamps: Mo's Digital Pencil, sentiment- Kraftin Kimmie
Paper: SU- basic black, real red, DP-MME
Embellishments: silver dew drops, cuttlebug
Copics: email for details.

Thanks,
Kathy

Nutshells Challenge #18/Saturday Sketch #107

Oh, how cute this little image is. It is from Nutcrafter's and worked out perfectly for their great Challenge this week, Father's Day card. There are a group of 3 wonderful images that work perfect for Father's Day. My father passed away about 17 years now so I wasn't too interested in this challenge at first but then I thought.....I have 6 great brothers who are all excellent fathers. I will have to send this to one of them. I am also entering this in the Saturday Sketch Challenge. I love a good sketch and this one is great. I was challenged with the punches on the bottom. I didn't want anything to girly but I ended up liking these together.

Nutcrafters/Saturday Sketch #106

This is one of my great images from Nutcrafters. I am always in need of great Wedding Cards and I think this one turned out great. I love the sentiment that I just got from Amuse. I have seen several great cards using these sentiments on others blogs that I had to go check them up. I bought 4 new ones and could have gone for more.....CONTROL. I will be back.
I use the sketch on Saturday Sketch challenge blog. I changed it up a bit but think it is close enough to enter.
Hope you all have a fabulous, wonderful weekend! If you have any questions feel free to email me. I will be including my email on my sidebar soon.

Hugs,

Nutshells Challenge #17/Friday Sketch #104

Hi everyone, this week for the nutshells challenge it was anything goes. We were free to create anything that we liked. I chose this great image, Pink Frosting that is now available in the stores as a Stamp set. This set was so popular that they decided to offer it in stamp form and not just a digi. I chose to go with a color some what different from the Pink Name just to mix it up a bit. Make sure to hope on over the the Nutshell blog and join us this week. We will have the challenge open until June 15th so there is plenty of time to get that card done.
I also combined this challenge with the Friday Sketch challenge #104. Hope I did Tanja proud.

Materials:
Stamps: Pink Frosting
Papers: SU pumpkin pie, MME-dp, SU-dp
Embellishments: eyelets

Thanks,
Kathy
