Happy Monday!!!

Hello everyone!! I hope you are having a great Monday!!! It's going to be another wild week around here...my DIL is back in the hospital so we will have kids again. I'm kinda getting used to having 3 kids around the house...it's too quiet around here when they are gone!!!

I had such fun with the Technique Lover's challenge on SCS today....played with marbles and Reinkers!!!


Rubbernecker's Fashion Icons 456 images were stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa onto a scrap piece of off white dp. The edges of the silhouette were sponged, distressed, and sewn. The sentiment was cutout with Nesties. Lace, Primas, a brad, pearls, ribbon, and clip finish it off.








The close up shows the adorable silhouette image and my crazy sewing....since I can't sew a straignt line I really made it look free flowing!!!


Stamps: Rubbernecker Fashion Icon 456
Paper: Vanilla, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, Graphic 45
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Cranberry Crisp, Really Rust, Close to Cocoa, Lovely Lilac, Creamy Caramel
Accessories: Primas, Pearls, Brad, Lace, Clip, Ribbon, Dimensionals






Sunday's Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoast featured Kathy Jones (Wattle). What a wonderful gallery full of such beautiful designs!!! When I saw this card called Thankful Blooms with the gorgeous colors, I knew this was the one I wanted to case. I kept the colors and the round main image. I changed the image, layout, and embellies.

This is also for the Double Dare Challenge hosted by Julia (artystamper) to use this adorable digital image which is free on the Two Scoops Rice Designs Blog. Be sure to add DDC to the keywords section when you upload so we can find your card.

This also qualifies for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply challenge to use piping (a narrow strip of paper to separate 2 other pieces of paper). I also made this for the OCC challenge hosted by Silke to use you favorite color combo on a card.



The digital image was colored with copics and the paper, Penny Lane by My Minds Eye, was used for the background layers. PTI Ribbon, pearls, and the flowers finish it off.

Whew!!! A 4 challenge card before I had any chocolate was quite an accomplishment for this old lady!!!!


Stamps: See D's sentiment
Paper: White, My Minds Eye
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black for sentiment
Accessories: Pearls, Punches, Nestabilities, Prima, Crocheted Flower, PTI Ribbon

Thanks for visiting today....hope your Monday is super special!!!
