HIMCR Challenge # 191: SSS

Are you ready for another challenge over at Hiding in My Craftroom!?

I found this brown, and vintage-y old rose pink paper in my stash and created a card that I've never attempted before! A Peek - A- Boo card. The tutorial I found is listed here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/peekaboocard/ I was so inspired by Norma's tutorial that I attempted to use the same color scheme too!

Here's how it came out:

I am just in love with how this card came out! I am going to be making lots more of these! This image is called 1935 hat by Rick St. Dennis. How fantastic is she?!

Pattie's Creations Challenge # 108 - Greens!

Hello again!

I'm not sure if I've already announced this or not but....... I'm one of the newest member's on Pattie's Creations Design Team!

Pattie approached me about a month ago and asked me if I would like to join her very talented design team and create with a fantastic group of ladies. To which, I obviously replied YES!

So somethings you should know about Pattie's Creations! 

Pattie Gomez is a talented lady who creates some very cute images. To see for yourself go ahead and check out her Etsy Shop! 

She designs with a special little girl in mind called Pattieboop and her trust sidekick Allie! Pattie describes them below:

 "Pattieboop is an 11 year old girl who is very opinionated. She was created by me, Pattie Gomez on September 7, 2009. Pattieboop is an average 11 year old and she loves dressing up. She is very petite in nature but stands tall because her mother always told her that “If you stand tall you will one day become someone important”. Pattieboop always remembers her mother’s words and makes sure she is noticed. 

Pattieboop has a favorite pet named Allie. Allie is a slender black cat and loves playing and spending time with Pattieboop. Alllie spends most of her days napping and her nights are spent getting in to mischief…" - Pattie Gomez

So on to this month's challenge!

The challenge this month is: GREEN - It should be the primary color in your project

So here's what I created for this month's challenge using the image: Volkswagen Beetle 1

I thought this image would look sooo cool if the sentiment could "hide" under the hood of the beetle! SO I dug out my craft knife and made it happen. I just LOVE how this card came out. 

The following supplies were used to make this card:

Green, White, Pink Cardstock - Stash

Heavenly White 80# Cardstock - Paper Temptress

*I do all my coloring on this cardstock! It's fabulous!*\

Butterfly Punch - Martha Stewart

Craft Knife

Silver Pen

Glossy Accents (headlights)

Spectrum Noir Markers 

I think I will have to make more of these, it came out so cute!

Thanks for stopping by today. 

Faery Ink New Release & Challenge: Out of This World

Hello there!

So today is the debut of a brand new release over at Faery Ink! The theme for this month's release and challenge is: Out of This World! I love this whole collection! So much so that I even have TWO new release projects to share with you today.

This set is now available for purchase at the Faery Ink Store.  I used the image called "Howling Moon" for my first project, and for my second project I used "Ariellie Moon Beam"

Here is the card I made with "Howling  Moon" image:

Clearly I need some work on my animals, which is why I just purchased the Animals Class over at Kit & Clowder! :) I might have to reattempt this wolf once I've completed this class. However, I really do like the way this card came out. It doesn't feel like something that I usually create, but I had  a good time with it. 

The following supplies were used to make this card:

- Dark Blue, Black Cardstock - Stash
Flourishes - Silhouette Cut File
White Flower - Magnolia Flowers
Black Roses - Recollections
Glitter Spray - To create the night sky

- Spectrum Noir Markers

For my second project I used "Ariellie Moon Beam", and I made a Twisted Easel Card

She was just heavenly to color in! For whatever reason, when I saw this image I instantly thought "Midnight Blue Dress" but I wasn't sure I could pull it off. I'm pretty please with the result and the overall card. 

The following supplies were used to make this card:

- Dark Blue, Gold, White Cardstock - Recollections
Heavenly White 80# Cardstock - Paper Temptress
*I do all my coloring on this cardstock! It's fantastic!*
