Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #58 - Roman Holiday

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #58 this time was inspired by the movie Roman Holiday. I cannot tell you how much I love this movie. I have seen it N number of times and still never get tired of it. :D I have plans to see this movie again this weekend :)



Some of my fav scenes are when she does not realize she has to pay for the flower :) or when Gregory Peck puts his hand in that Idol or statue and pretends he was hurt :) Or even the last party scene on the boat :) Amazing movie and amazing acting by my two fav actors....

I was so enthused by this challenge that I ended up doing two card for this.

The first one was inspired by the Vespa that they drive around in Rome. I kind of imagined it to be of a pale or dirty green :) So here is my card using the Scooter image from Rupa Shevde's "Are We There yet" set.



Supplies:
Stamp - GKD Are we there yet set
Paper - SU DP, SU Grey and PTI White CS
Ink - Memento Black, Copics
Other - Buttons, Pearls and Nestabilities

My 2nd card was inspired all these beautiful A cut dresses that Audrey wears in the movie. I used another Rupa Shevde set called Retro Boutique. I paper pierced the dress and added some pearls and flowers :)



I used the Unscripted Sketch #31 for this card.



Supplies:
Stamp - Gina K Designs - Retro Boutique
Paper - Making Memories DP, PTI Melon berry CS
Ink - Memento Black
Other - Prima Flowers, Pearls, Offray Satin Ribbon

Mojo Monday Week 113

I really liked the Mojo Monday Sketch 113 this time and it had been a while since I played with Mojo Monday sketches.

This card was also done for the Squigglefly Challenge #28 - To create a Thank You Card.

Just this past week when I was down with cough and cold, one of my neighbor who is also a very good friend of mine helped me out so much, so this Thank you card is for her. :) Have to drop it off tonight with some of the Banana Bread that I made :)

Here is my card,

I used the Squigglefly Digital Image - Flower Vase for this card. It was so much fun to color it with Copics. Sentiment is from PTI Mega Mixed Messages.

Here is the Mojo Monday 113 Sketch,



Supplies:
Stamp - Digi Stamp from Squigglefly - Flower Vase
Paper - PTI White CS, BG Lemonade DP, Making Memories Fa La La DP

Just Us Girls - Technique Challenge

Just Us Girls Week 7 - Technique Challenge was Dry Embossing. I have been wanting to CASE one of Dawn McVey's card from her latest set that was released yesterday..Signature Greetings. You can see her card here in this link. I do not haver that set yet, but I used another PTI set called Handwritten note.

Here is my card,



I created a background panel that is dry embossed using the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. I stamped the image from Giga guidelines on Spring Moss CS and used some ribbon. The sentiment was just cut out and popped up to give it some dimension. Some pearls completed the card.

Copic Color Challenge #39

Copic Color Challenge #39 was to use the Colors G05 (Emerald Green), R29 (Lipstick Red), Y08 (Acid Yellow).

I wanted to try out some new Digital Stamps :) to use with Copic Markers. That is how I found out about Squigglefly. They have some real neat images. I bought this image April Showers from them and it was so much fun coloring with copics. There were minor mishaps with ink smearing....but overall...it was fun.

Here is my card,



I did not have G05. So, I used a combination of G02 and G09. I added some stickles to the Rain drops.

Here is the copic color chart,



Supplies:
Stamp - April Showers - Digital Stamp from Squigglefly
Paper - Basic Grey Lemonade Collection, Generic Card base, GKD Pure Luxury 120lb white CS
Ink - Copics
Other - Nestabilities, stickles

Holiday Cards

I wanted to share some Holiday cards that I have been working on. So, sorry in advance for the long post :)

1) I found this real cute ginger bread man stamp in Michael's dollar stamp bin. I had not bought PTI's Holiday Button bits stamp set but have been ogling all the neat cards made from that set and this stamp reminded of the gingerbread man from that set. So here is my card from that stamp,



It is not as cute as the image from PTI Set, but still was a fun card to make.

Supplies:
Stamp - Generic Gingerbread Man stamp
Paper - Fa La La Collection from Making Memories, Generic Card Stock Base, GKD Pure Luxury 120lb White CS, PTI Smokey Gray CS
Ink - Memento Brown
Other - Generic Golden Satin Ribbon, Nestabilities, Buttons

2) This is the card that I did for the Squigglefly Monday Sketch Challenge. They have a new challenge on their blog every Monday. I also used another Digital stamp from Squigglefly. This is their latest release - Mr. Snowman. There are some wonderful samples out there with this stamp. I kept my card pretty simple.



Here is the sketch,


Supplies:
Stamp - Mr.Snowman - Digital Image from Squigglefly
Paper - Fa La La Collection from Making Memories, GKD Pure Luxury 120lb CS, GKD Metallic Gold Paper, Generic Card Base

3) The last card I am sharing uses a stamp image from Gina K Designs StampTV Kit - Holiday Cheer and it also uses a technique called Split Negative - showcased by Gina on StampTV. Here is a link to the video that has the tutorial for this technique. Mine of course has not come out as Gina has showed..but I am quite happy with the outcome considering this is the first time I am doing it.



I used the bow easy (sold at Gina K Designs) to create this beautiful double looped bow. I cannot tell you how easy it was and how professional and neat it looks. This is one of the best purchases I have made. Gina also has a tutorial on how to use the bow easy on stamptv.

Supplies:
Stamp - GKD Holiday Cheer StampTV Kit
Paper - GKD Black, GKD Metallic Gold CS, Martha Stewart Christmas DP, Generic Card Base
