Light It Up Blue

My card share today is for the Light It Up Blue blog hop, for Autism awareness. I used a hostess stamp Bloom With Hop and of course I had to color the flowers blue. The greeting is from the set, Lovely Amazing You. This is also a wrap up for the 30day coloring challenge at The Daily marker.

This one is for Day 29 of the 30 day coloring challenge at The Daily marker. This is a retired set "So Grateful" but one that is definitely fun to color. 

I am entering this one in a couple challenges as well

Watercolor Bokeh

Hi there and thanks fro stopping by!

Today's card is using the Watercolor Bokeh technique. I am sharing the tutorial on how to make this beautiful background on the Sweet 'n Sassy Blog. It's a fun technique so I hope you will head over and give it a try. 

This card is for Day 27 for the 30 Day coloring challenge at The Daily Marker. I colored the butterfly with Copic markers and then decided it was a little to bold for my background, so I stamped another in versa mark ink and embossed it in white to put over the colored one, it makes it much more subtle.

No Line Coloring

Hi there and thanks for stopping by.

I will have another post after this one because, I am playing catchup once again. This one is for Day 22 of the 30 day coloring change at The Daily Marker. This is my first attempt at no line coloring. I used a Sweet 'n Sassy stamp "Treasured". This is an oldie but goodie stamp and Korin just released a die to match it.

Today's card share is for Day 20 for the 30 day coloring challenge at The Daily Marker and Online Card Classes Day 7 of Stretch Your Dies. This is a technique shown by Kathy Racoosin and I loved it, it's a subtle, but yet dynamic way to use your dies.

The greeting is from the set Crazy About You from Stampin Up

Playing Catch Up From A Busy Weekend

My weekend was busy but it was super FUN, It started with leaving early Saturday morning for a IKEA trip with friends and not returning home until late Saturday night , of course since we were in Denver, we hit several other stores as well, including the Container Store. Sunday after church I was on the road again to Denver, this time with the Hubs for a steak dinner and a phenomenal, epic concert (an early birthday gift) put on by Garth Brooks and his lovely bride Trisha Yearwood. We did not get back home until after midnight, so that left me with little crafting time, so I will be playing catch up on the 30 day coloring challenge at The Daily Marker and for my Online card Class, stretch your dies. This card is for Day 19 of the coloring challenge. I actually colored it yesterday before I left, just didn't  put the card together of get a post ready until today.

I used a new release from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Mini Flower Blocks 2 and an older companion set to it Flower Blocks 2.   

Coloring Challenge and IKEA

I have been gone all day on a successful IKEA shopping trip (got another Roskag) so I had to come home and color up an image I was familiar with and wouldn't take long to do so, I created his quick card share is for Day 18 of the coloring challenge at The Daily Marker. 

This is a fun and easy image to color and then I sponged half of my card with Bermuda Bay .

Blue Skies

Happy Spring! 

Today I am playing with some Lawn Fawn goodies, I used the set Blue Skiess along with the matching Lawn Cuts. I used a cloud embossing folder from Darice and the Bubble Label Fri-die from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

 This one is for Day 17 of the 30 day coloring challenge at The Daily Marker.

The sketch I used is the current sketch at Freshly Made sketches.

30 day Coloring Challenge - Day 16

Late night card for Day 16 of the coloring challenge at The Daily Marker. This is also for Day 4 of the online card class I am taking Stretch Your Dies.  Today's focus was mini dies and Jennifer Rzasa taught how to make a background out of them. I loved her card, so I made something similar. I used the mini party hats from Lil Inker and the Mini Balloons from Avery Elle. I started with Watercolor paper and Tim Holtz distress inks and ended up with this ombre look. The greeting is from a SU set, From The Herd.

Halfway There

It's day 15 for the 30 day coloring challenge that I am participating in at The Daily Marker, so I am halfway to the finish. I also made this card for the online class that I am taking, "Stretch Your Dies". Jennifer McGuire taught how to use your dies you have on hand to make a gate fold card. I needed to make some more easter cards, so I used an egg die from Memory Box and a few sets from Stampin Up, Indescribable Gift , Gorgeous Grunge 

and Something Lacy background stamp. I colored the image with Copic markers and the stamped the background in Smoky Slate, I didn't get a clean image on my background stamping so I sponged around the edges to hide my mistake. If I would have been able to use the MISTI this partial stamping would have not happened, but my background stamp is wood mounted. Since owning the MISTI, I now order my stamps in Photopolymer or cling mount.

Here is my card when opened
