Christmas in July

I wanted to share this Christmas Card. It is nice to build up your stash of cards and not to be scrambling in November.



I used some BG Eskimo Kisses and DCVW Patterned Paper along with this Mr.Snowman image from Squigglefly. I colored the snowman with copics. Sentiment is from PTI's Mailbox greetings.

This card is for the following Challenges,

1) Squigglefly Challenge #57 to make a Christmas Card.
2) The Shabby Tea Room Challenge #18 - Christmas in July
3) There She Goes Challenge TSG63 - Inspiration Challenge. I loved the Blue and Orange in this inspiration photo, which is what my card colors are based on.

4) Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge FTTC74 - Christmas in July
5) Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #87 - The Holiday. Create a holiday card with Eyelets.

Raspberry Suite color challenge meets 2 Sketches 4 You

I used the latest Laura's Sketch #33 from 2 Sketches 4 You for this card and the color combination was from Dawn's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #15 - To use Spring Moss, Melon Berry, Hibiscus Burst and Cream. I also used some pearls on this card and could enter the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge FTTC30 to use pearls.

I had not initially ordered the PTI Polka Dot Basics II, but after seeing the most amazing samples of it on Dawn's blog, I had to get it and I am not dissapointed. It is just awesome. Loved it :)

Here is my card,

Mojo Monday 100 - Day 2

This is my second post of the day. Mojo Monday is celebrating 100th sketch by having a sketch each day this week. You can see my entry for Mojo Monday 100 Day 1 here.

Along with using the Mojo sketch I played along with the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge - FTTC29. The Challenge this time was to use colors Olive, Red and Black.

Here is my card. I used the Gina K Designs StampTV kit Signs of Autumn. Colored the image with copics. Kept the card very simple. Inside I have stamped a thank you sentiment.

Mojo Monday 98 combined with other challenges

It is not Monday - but here is my Mojo Monday card :) I guess it had to be a Friday for me to get the mojo :)

I have combined a few challenges into this card,

1) Sketch is from Mojo Monday 98 Sketch
2) Second is the copic challenge of coloring eyes. I did not have any images that had was good for eye coloring and this stamp from Gina K designs caught my eye. I researched on the internet that Horned Owl which is quite common in North America has yellow eyes. So I tried to get that effect using my Copics. I used - Y11, Y15 and W5 for the eyes. A blend of grey and brown for the skin.
3)Flourishes Timeless Tuesday (FTTC27) - The challenge was to use hardware - any kind. I have used a metal ribbon slider and grey brads on this page :)

Here is my card,



In retrospect, If I had made this card in Purple/Lavender shades, I could have completed the OCC color challenge as well. :) Oh well!! Next time :)

Supplies:
Stamp - Gina K Designs - Owl Always Love You
Paper - Making Memories DP, PTI Kraft CS, GKD Pure Luxury White 120lb
Ink - Memento Black, Memento Blue for edging, Copics
Other - Ribbon Slide from SU Hodgepodge hardware, Generic Brads, Marvy Giga Punches

Do I Dazzle You?

Flourishes Timeless Challenge was to use Shimmerz on your card. I had got this Edward stamp from The Greeting Farm a while ago and had not had a chance to play with it. This was the perfect opportunity for this stamp. For those who are not Twilight Fans, Edward - the hero of the book who is a vampire - when sunlight falls on his skin it glitters like diamond.

So, I colored the image with copics and used Shimmerz - Butter Cream on his face and arms. I outlined his face and arms with Sakura Gelly roll glitter pen as well.

Sentiment was printed out from my computer and covered with some Shimmerz as well. I outlined the sentiment with Sakura Gelly Roll Blue glitter pen - just to keep with my color scheme.



Here is snapshot of the card at an angle and hopefully you can see some of the shimmer.



Supplies:
Stamp - Edward stamp from The Greeting Farm
Paper - PTI Vintage Cream, Generic Black CS, Making Memories DP
Ink - Memento Black, Copics
Other - Martha Stewart Border Punch, SU Oval Punch, Sakura Gelly Roll Glitter Pen, Shimmerz

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC22)

I had bought this new non smear pastel set from Great American Scrapbook Convention and when I saw the flourishes challenge was chalking..I had to try it out. Here is a link for the Flourishes Challenge.
