Finally a card for multiple challenges

It seems like ages since I made a card .... because it has, working extra hours, nearing the end of the school year (many functions), running kids to this and that.  Well summer has officially started, normally I am slower in the summer than the rest of the year but as the kids get older that changes. 

Well I broke down and bought a few Magnolia Stamps, this being the first one I have used to make a card.  I am entering this card in Just Magnolia 55 - One for the Girls; A Spoon Full of Sugar 104 - cute and girly; Mojo Monday 139 - sketch; Tuesday Morning Sketches - favorite color combo and glitter.  I don't know that this is a favorite color combo but it is one I used to fulfill an old color challenge that I never got around to on time at Color Dare 65 to use Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red, Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze.  I thought what a wild and bright challenge so colored my image and then never got around to making a card.  I hadn't thought of ever using such a strong, bright color on Tilda's hair as I had never seen it before, but it worked for this challenge and hopefully we will see more of her colored with orange hair.

Lori, you would be proud of me other than the Whisper White paper I used to stamp Tilda, I only used one other piece of cardstock the rest is all patterned paper.  Quite the stretch for me.

Stamps:  Sitting Summer Tilda - Magnolia
Ink:  Tsukineko Graphite Black
Paper:  Apricot Appeal, Whisper White and a lot of patterned paper
Accessories:  ribbon, top note die cut, button, copics, blending stump, baby oil, coloring pencils, iridescent ice EP, white gel pen

Dreaming

Well this is the first time I have ever used a Prairie Fairy image twice (if you don't count the card with the three ballerina mice on the same card).  This image Hangin' Out can be found at Prairie Fairy Designs.  The theme this week at Fairy Fun Fridays Challenge 18 is recycled material.  While I wracked my brain on how to do this challenge I thought of my eldest daughter who goes on an excursion this summer starting in Barbados and then to Europe, backpacking for 2 months with 2 of her friends and I thought of the Hangin Out image daydreaming about travelling, so I punched out an image of London from a magazine for her daydream.  I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge 44 and I used the colors from Curtain Call Color Challenge: Act 28.

Stamps:  Hangin Out - Prairie Fairy Designs
Ink:  Not Quite Navy
Paper:  Not Quite Navy, Whisper White, DSP
Accessories:  scallop oval punch, half pearls, sponge, blending stump, coloring pencils, baby oil and copics

What's up??

This card is only entered in one challenge and that is Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge 38.  I really didn't have the ambition to make anything, so I used an image I have had colored for some time now.  Hope you like it!!

Ink:  Black Staz On, Bashful Blue
Paper:  Mellow Moss, Whisper White, Always Artichoke, unknown DSP
Accessories:  watercolor pencils, aquapainter, MS leaf punch, ribbon, Xyron and brads

Sooooo Cuuuute

I really had a lot of fun doing this easy card.  I hadn't colored directed to the stamp for a very long time, but I used the SU markers to color the strawberries and then stamped them.  I colored the focal image with pencil crayons, blending stump and baby oil.  The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge 35, the inspiration came from Cupcake Inspiration Challenge 48 - where I used strawberries, flowers and the colors pink, red and green, which also allows me to enter The Pink Elephant Challenge 56 - add green to the color combo.  I tried to finish it in time, but missed the cut off for the Color Throwdown Challenge 81.  With this bow above the center element I also qualify for Your Next Stamp Challenge 11 - Big Bow.

Stamps - Soooo Good - Phindy's Place, Sincere Salutations, Little Flowers and Tart & Tangy - SU
Ink - Pretty in Pink, Old Olive, Real Red
Paper - Whisper White, Old Olive
Accessories - nestabilities, ribbon, post it for masking the greeting, sponge, pencil crayons, blending stump and baby oil

Sympathy card or get well - works for either

Well Corry I had to do another 5.5 x 5.5" card again, my background stamp of SU's Medallion was too big and I didn't want a partial stamped image.  I used the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp Challenge 22 this time and picked the colors from Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge 34 - Apricot Appeal, Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip, although these aren't my normal colors I like the way it turned out.  I thought of Lori a lot while doing this card as she likes the arm tones.  No patterned paper for this card I made my own this time.  I stamped the Medallion stamp with Craft Apricot Appeal and stamped it on Apricot Appeal paper, I added clear EP and heated it up.  For an extra accent I added color with my woodless pencils in the shadowed areas of the Medallion image.

I used copics to color my Miss Anya image but also used coloring pencils, blending stump and baby oil for extra dimension in the shading. 

Here is a close up to show the detail of the Medallion stamp and also of the embossed Chocolate Chip paper where I used a copper metallic rub on to enhance the embossing.

Stamps:  Miss Anya Dressy - The Greeting Farm, Medallion - SU
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Apricot Appeal, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White

Well I must like animals....

This is my third card I have made that qualifies for Digital Tuesday Challenge 45 - All About Animals, it also uses the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketch 32 and Mo's Digital Challenge 18 which uses one of her images with the following criteria:  it must have pink, red, white and a heart.  I embossed the background and used the metallic rub ons again to really make them show up, loving the way these rub ons work.  I also used Prairie Fairy's coloring pencil tutorial for the image to give it a nice soft look.
