Cute Card Thursday #170 - Sketch Challenge

Happy Thursday!

This week at Cute Card Thursday, we have a sketch challenge for you. Here is the sketch...

...and here is my card...

Stamp: Fisher Dad and Daughter (Karen's Doodles), Wonderful Favorites (SU!)

Paper: Paper Pizazz Mixing Masculine

Ink: Ink Jet Printer, Copics

 Accessories: Brads, Fish Button, Hemp Twine

If you saw my post from yesterday, you know that my husband and daughter LOVE to go fishing. I just love this image. It is a true reflection of some recent days on the lake (the difference in the size of the fish - grin). I gave her a red jacket because my daughter always wears her red jacket fishing.

I love these old-fashioned brads that I found at Joann.

The tags pull out to reveal all the great qualities of my hubby! 

Thanks for stopping by today. I look forward to seeing what you create using this week's sketch.

7 Kids College Fund Challege #24 - Make it Fluffy

Happy Wednesday!

Summer is here, and it is hot, hot, hot! I hope you were able to join our summer challenge last week. If not, we have another fun challenge for you this week. Our challenge is "Make it Fluffy." We want you to use flock, suede, flower soft, felt, or something else that makes it fluffy. Use your imagination and show us what you come up with. And don't forget to use a stamp that 7 Kids carries to be eligible for the prize. 

Here is my card...

You can find the following items at 7 Kids College Fund... 

Stamps: Edwin Waiting For Fish, Tilda Gone Fishing

Ink: Staz-On, Distress Ink

This is a perfect representation of my husband and my daughter. They LOVE to go fishing!!! So, I am in love with these stamps. I am quite certain they will get a lot of use.

This is where my fluffy element comes in. I used flock on my cattails. The cattails are actually made with polymer clay, a toothpick, glue, and brown flock. I mixed them in with some seed grass to give the feel of being at the lake.

What fishing trip is complete without a dragonfly?

I used the June sketch for the CLP Challege and will be entering the card in their challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today. Now, go make it fluffy!

Cute Card Thursday - Birthstone

Our Cute Card Thursday Challenge this week is to use your birthstone as inspiration for your card. I am a May baby, so my birthstone is Emerald. Here is my card...

Stamps: Tilda With Cute Skirt, Wonderful Favorites, Vintage Labels (SU!)

Paper: K&Co

Ink: Staz-On, Distress Ink

Accessories: Spellbinders Fancy Tags, Buttons, Charm, Feathers, Berries, Cricut Lacey Labels

So, this card is for father's day. What do you think, too girlie? My daughter thinks so. Oh, well, it is on its way.

I just got some Perfect Pearls and needed to try some techniques, so I colored some white paper with distress inks and Perfect Pearls. I used this paper for my sentiment.

 I love the look of berries on a card. I have started to play with making my own. The blue berries are a result of that effort. I layered buttons and added feathers for a non-flowery embellishment. 

I used the sketch from Just Magnolia and will be entering the card in that challenge.

A LITTLE EXTRA...

I wanted to share this adorable give my daughter made for me. She loves to draw anime cats. She drew this cat and created a card.

Here is a closeup of the cat she drew...

She used polymer clay to make a cat to match.The cat is holding a cake with a sweet message carved into the top. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Cute Card Thursday #167 - Embellish Your Image

It is Thursday, and time for another Cute Card Thursday Challenge!

Our challenge this week is to Embellish Your Image. Here is my card....

Stamps: Little Mermaid Tilda, Seaweed

Paper: K&Co

Ink: Staz-On, Distress Ink

Accessories: Stickles, Cricut Lacy Labels, Glossy Accents, Lace, Shells, Nellie Snellen Floral Branch Punch 2,  

I colored Little Mermaid Tilda with Distress Ink, and then covered the tail with Stickles. I also added shells for ear rings and a few shells along the bottom of the image.

Here, you can better see the Stickles. I covered the bubbles with Glossy Accents to give the bubble effect. 

I wanted to add some ocean accents, so I added some pearls and shells. 

I added some color to the flowers with distress inks and a blending tool.
