7 Kids Challenge - #12 Hot or Cold

Happy New Year! (are you sick of hearing it yet?)

Our Challenge today at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge is Hot or Cold - Choose Your Extreme! I chose cold and went for a rainy scene...

You can find the following items at 7 Kids College Fund

Stamps: Shabby Chic Fence, Tilda In Spring Rain

Ink:  Memento, Copics

Accessories: Copics Airbrush System, Flowers, Spellbinders Frameabilities Scalloped Edge Frame,  Nestabilities Peony

 

I colored my image with Copics, focusing on the light and shadows. The background was colored with my Copics Airbrush System and hand drew in some extra grass and weeds. 

I made a bouquet with 5 leaves and 4 flowers.

This will be a birthday card for a loved one with a January Birthday. 

I glued a charm onto my ribbon and attached another charm with a chain. 

I used the Spellbinders Frameabilities Scalloped Edge Frame to cut out the image, and then lifted the frame with dimensionals.

I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers...

I will also be entering this card in the following challenges: 

Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Blues Challenge

Just Magnolia - Anything Goes

Make a Wish - Multiple challenges

This card will be entered in several challenges this week.

Magnolia Stamp Lovers challenged us to Make is Dimensional. Magnolia Down Under challenged us to make a card using the Paper Tole technique. What is Paper Tole you ask? (Go ahead, I did.) "Paper Tole is the art of constructing a 3-dimensional image from a 2-dimensional print or image". The idea is you turn a single image into a multi layered image to give it a 3D effect." Unfortunately, I missed the cut off for this challenge (did not notice I started it on the cut off date). Oh well. Just Magnolia's challenge was One For The Girls.

Today, I was informed of a challenge blog I had not visited before. It is called Dare U 2 Digi Stamp. The basic rules for this challenge are to include a digi stamp image on your project. This week is Anything Goes, so I will enter this card in that challenge as well.

Here is my card...



Stamp: Noble Tilda and Mini Tilda (Magnolia) So Many Sayings (SU!), Princess Carriage (Bird's Cards)
Paper: DCWV textured cardstock, Joy's Soft Collection (Paper Pizazz)
Ink: Memento, Copics, Ink Jet Printer, Perfect Plum (SU!), Copics Spica Pen
Accessories: Where do I begin...Spellbinders Fancy Tags, butterfly from Joann (bridal section), Rose from Prima's, flat-back pearls, Blingz, Radiant Pearls, Stickles, lace, MS branch punch, rhinestones, Tim Holtz grunge board, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder.



I found this free digi carriage online. I made it as large as I could while still getting two carriages on one page (I hate to waste paper). I printed a total of 4 carriages, then cut them out to create the layers. I masked the bottom layer and stamped Noble Tilda, trying to give the effect of Tilda riding in the carriage. I think it worked really well. I love how she is peeking out of the door. I dressed her up with Stickles for her night on the town.

The carriage was painted (not colored) with Blingz and Radiant Pearls. I did the trim in gold and the body of the carriage in a mixture of light blue and silver. I used black Radiant Pearls for the tires. I added a little bling to the squiggle decoration with my purple Spica pen.


I used dimensional glue dots and silicone glue to raise my layers and make them dimensional.

I used my Spellbinders Fancy Tags for my sentiment and added some branches to add a little extra fairy tale feel. The line under "Make a Wish" are little itty bitty pearls.


The flourish at the top of the page is Tim Holtz Grunge Board. I colored the grunge board with distress ink, and then painted over it with Blingz.


I wanted a fairy for my fairy tale, so I used Mini Tilda. I colored her with Copics in very light colors, and then painted over her with Candlelight Blingz for a bit of fairy dust. I cut off the wings and mounted her on this lovely butterfly embellishment that I found in the bridal section of Joann.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Simon Says/Sketch Saturday/Magnolia Stamp Lovers

My card today covers 3 challenges in one.

The first Challenge is from Simon Says Photo Inspiration Challenge. The funny thing is, they had posted two pictures, one as a celebration of new members of the design team, and the other was the actual inspiration. However, the celebration photo served as inspiration as well. Here are the pictures...


The picture on the left is the celebration pictures.









The picture on the right is the inspiration.





The second challenge is from Magnolia Stamp Lovers #3 - Buttons or Bows or Both.

The third challenge is from Sketch Saturday #88, and here is the sketch...


Here is my card...
Stamps: Charleston Tilda, Rose Edwin, and Champagne and Candelabra ((Magnolia)
Paper: Watercolor paper, DCWV Stack 6, Red Riding Hood
Ink: Staz-On, Distress Ink.
Embellishments: Daisy dye cut, Prima flower, handmade roses, Spellbinders labels, buttons, DMC floss, Stickles, rhinestones, Cuttlebug Embossing Folders, Fiskars Texture Plate.


I water colored Tilda with Distress Inks. I added blue, green and purple to her black dress to give it some dimension. I added the red soles to the shoes to make them Christian Louboutin shoes.

Here is where the champagne bottle comes in. Since I first saw this stamp, I pictured her kicking up something with her foot. When I saw the champagne bottle, that was it. I added the rhinestones for movement.

I hope you enjoyed my creation. Have a great weekend.
